sdp joins emilie inc - big news in lowercase

Last summer I joined emilie inc photography and began shooting weddings.  How did this come about?  I sometimes still ask this myself as I am often reminded how fortunate I am to be working with such a highly talented group of photographers.
In answer: the short version is that I met emilie's husband J at a networking event, we became friends, and I asked if the studio was accepting applications.  Nice.  In reality, there was a bit more to it.
The previous summer I had introduced myself to veteran emilie shooter Whitney as she was covering my cousin Cameron's wedding on Southport Island near Boothbay.  I had browsed the portfolio and checked out emilie's site extensively, very impressed.  I had also already met photographer and office manager, Megan, at a photographers gathering in Scarborough.  But the kicker was when my friend Susannah (Susannah Gill Photography) found out I had joined the team and exclaimed, "I introduced you and emilie on the floor of the PhotoPlus expo in nyc two years ago!!'  I am a sucker for small world stories so I had to share.
