Our First Wedding Gift

February 23, 2010 · Personal

I walked up the stairs and that is when I saw them.  Two large boxes with big black letters on the side. Crate & Barrel.  Yipee, our first wedding gift!  Now we aren’t getting married until the end of May but who doesn’t love an early wedding gift?  I just had no idea Crate & Barrel sold cats ;-)

Hearts for Haiti

February 15, 2010 · Charities, Photography

Yesterday I had the honor of photographing a fundraiser set up at the gym I workout at.  The fundraiser was called “Hearts for Haiti” and was appropriately held on Valentine’s Day.  There were some awesome sponsors as well as plenty of donations for the silent auction.  The event managed to raise $1,700.00 and counting!  Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success!

Networking: Aruna B. Photography

February 1, 2010 · Business, Photography

I hear a lot of photographers say that you should try to connect with other photographers in your area.  In attempting to follow this advice I have contacted a few and realized that most don’t want to meet me and therefore ignore me entirely.  So, you can only imagine my shock when Aruna from Aruna B. Photography answered my email and said she would love to meet up!  I was beyond thrilled!  Although we changed our meeting time and place a few times, we finally met for lunch last Friday.  She was both kind and humble despite her awesome achievements in her first “full” year of business.  I peppered her with about a million questions and she had no problem not only sharing her personal experiences but also giving me advice.  It is so interesting hearing about how others got started on this path and how far they have come.  So thank you Aruna, thank you for meeting with me, for answering my questions, and for giving me the confidence to continue on this path!
