Today I attended a lovely luncheon for local business women at Hillside Inn in Wyoming, NY (a beautiful wedding reception venue) sponsored by some of my favorite clients, Laura Lane and Kelly Ashcraft of the Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce. It was almost as thrilling as speed dating (something I guess I won’t get to experience in this lifetime, rats!) as we quickly promoted ourselves to a table of new acquaintances for 5 minutes. I touched on my web design and photography, but of course photography is always more interesting so I received numerous questions and compliments while they browsed through my albums.
I really enjoyed meeting so many interesting people in a short amount of time and ended the afternoon with an offer to showcase my work in the local Art Council Gallery. How exciting! I’ve never put on a gallery show before, but as soon as it was suggested, my head exploded with ideas. Luckily, the director was open to a show based on wedding and love portraiture, as much of the photography in this area is of our beautiful landscapes, not people. I’ll keep you posted on details as this is an opportunity I don’t want to slip away!
Though I brought my camera for snapshots, the event was a little too fast-paced to get in any photo time, so I grabbed my girlfriend Bridget and we took this adorable portrait under a tree just waiting to burst with new golden leaves. I think this is the first time we’ve taken a nice photo together. I need to grab more portraits with family and friends, jeesh!
And PS....I’m wearing my favorite dress and shoes at the moment. Yeah, you can’t see the shoes, but trust me, they’re killer cute! Chances are you’ll see me sometime this summer in this dress because I wear it every chance I get. I love the color!!!
Now step away from your computer and go pick some daffodils!
