I made a new friend today through my connections on Linkedin.com 

Mary contacted me with an invitation to be a part of her community. This was wonderful since it inspired me to review Mary's work. I'm glad I did. Her work is awesome. Take a look for yourself and visit her personal site. www.maryruppertphotography.com/
