Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I had a very cool opportunity to be a part of a very meaningful  fundraiser last Saturday in Woodbridge CT. My friend Talia from Sixpence For Your Shoe invited me to come along the the event and donate a portrait session to help raise money for a great cause, scholarships that are offered to Amity Regional High School Seniors in memory of Jared Rosner. You can read all about it in the post below. I have to say it was a great success and it was very apparent that Jared, the friend, brother and son, who was killed in a skiing accident a few years back, was greatly loved and missed.  You could feel the warmth and love in the air and I was extremely honored to be part of such a successful and intimate affair and I hope to help them out in the future as well. (if they want me to that is ;o) Thanks so much Talia for making us feel so welcome and such a part of this special event. It is much appreciated! The event was a silent auction and was a huge success! I look forward to shooting whoever it may be that won the session with me!!!

Happy and Healthy New Year to ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talia - Thanks so much again Meg for contributing to the success! It was great to have you there.
creativeimagecollections - hey jerome...thanks...cute card by the way!!! loved it!
Jerome Braga - Congrats Meagan! I was able to donate last year to them. It was a huge success!
Robin Dini - fun! auctions are my favorite! you get to meet great groups of people that you normally wouldn't encounter.

I am going to be hopefully posting on a more regular basis since the workflow is beginning to taper for the year. I have a few jobs left over to blog and edit, wedding, trash the dress stuff and some of my own personal stuff for marketing and behind the scenes type stuff, so in my spare time (hehe!) I will be posting a picture each day…mainly to keep you coming back and keep you updated with what I am working on 24-7! And also to keep my creative juices flowing through the rough winter months ahead! ( I think rough is a bit dramatic ;o) So they won’t necessarily be of clients all the time, sometimes just stuff I like, for instance…

 shoes…and these were my favorite pair this fall…

Athena and Jeff…I love these guys! They rock! The story goes like this. Last year I got a call from Athena wanting me to photograph them! Yipeeee! I knew she was cool because I loved the design on the check that she sent along with the contract in the mail! So we met on December 9th, 2006! And here we are exactly one year later, December 9th, 2007, shooting just some 50 some-odd feet away from where we originally met last year! It was by chance that we picked that day, and then the light-bulb went off in my head! Wow…it is our 1 year Anniversary! How cool was that! Even cooler was the fact that after the shoot last year,  we had we all realized that we could really hang out with each other on a friendship level . So we went out to dinner one night, and realized even more just how much we all had in common. I love life for this reason alone! You never know who you will meet and the impact they will have on your life. And coming from some old-timers like my husband and I … we were in need of friends like Athena and Jeff! I love my job for this reason. Some of my clients really do end up becoming my friends. Photography really is all about capturing the personalities of your subjects. So really, there is no avoiding getting to know the “real” you’s !!! (gramatically incorrect but sounds right in my head!) So from dinner to ice-cream and taboo, to eating Mexican Specials…this one is for my lovely friends…donut loving and gas guzzling (long story) … Athena and Jeff!

we started off at the Danbury Railway Museum for a little something different…

Okay guys! It is that time of year again. The time has come to take a personal inventory of ourselves and reach deep down inside and figure out what we are setting out to do this year…what goals we have, what we want to change about ourselves for the better. I have a very long list…hehe! One major one, which was also my resolution from last year, is to become ORGANIZED. WHAT???? I forget what that even means!!! I try soooo hard and actually sought out to buy a wonderful calendar from Office Max to put all appts in from drs. visits, to kids stuff at school, to client appts and wedding dates booked. However, I wasn’t destined to be organized in the year 2007 because in October of 2007 there are no calendars for 2007 anymore…hmmmmm. So I will officially be organized come January first, and can’t wait to begin using my new Black Book. But don’t worry, you won’t be considered bad if you are in MY black book, it will be a very good thing-in other words…you’re in like Flynn! I wrote a small list and highly recommend it!

1. ORGANIZE MY LIFE!!!

2. Offer exceptional customer service to my clients and potential clients! Huge one for me for next year. I have many more business goals to reach next year in terms of customer service, technical experimenting, equipment purchases, etc. etc.

3. Make better food choices. I have gone up a size, no joke…not funny. ;o(

4. Make more time for friends…doing fun stuff…yippppeeeeeeee!

5. Manage my time. This is a BIG factor for me…I need to learn about time management…like instead of twiddling my hair and staring off into space…put away that stack of papers that I have been staring at for quite some time.

6. Try something new when I go out to eat. BIG ONE…except this doesn’t go with my number 3 on the list…I always get the same thing when I go out to eat…Chinese=moochoo chicken or broccoli chicken, Italian=chicken parm or ravioli (blah blah blah), and Mexican= what else besides chicken fajitas. Now come on, there is more to Mexico than chicken fajitas…like steak fajitas!!!

7. Expand my reading abilities. Like actually read books rather than US , People, In-Touch.I can’t help it, I want to. I like to see what they wear. But I want to actually read a book from front to back and gain knowledge from it.

8. Avoid hitting the alarm in the morning numerous times before getting out of bed. This is soooo hard for me. My gosh, I am just not a morning person. I find nothing great about getting up at the crack of dawn.

9. Give with out expecting anything in return.

10. remember that life is a day to day journey and to relax and breathe and just enjoy the moment. Also…I am trying to make the world a better place one act of random kindness at a time…(stole that from Evan Almighty) but really mean it~

Have a good night!

I knew Kelly and Josh’s wedding was going to be fun and definitely cool because when I received her contract in the mail and read it, on the line where it says transportation for the day, she put , and I quote, “Limo Bus, Wheeeeeeee!” She is such a pip! I loved being a part of their day. They got married at the Meeting House in Newtown, and had the reception in Washington CT. It was very cool. So here are a bunch of my favorites from the day…

Kelly, getting ready.
