It was great spending the day photographing the good people at Deltek. We photographed 65 of you. First of all, Lauran Cacciatori, the Director of Corporate Marketing & Communications, organized a seamless day that could not have gone better. It was great to see her work with everyone. Then each of you showed up ready to be photographed and showed me something about yourself. Some people let me know know how much you hate being photographed while others how much you like being with your co-workers and many of you showed me both. All of it helped us make wonderful images. Thanks for working with me. Can't wait to share the results with you.
