Networking

I was honored when the Mountain Garden Club asked me to take photos at their Annual Meeting. My grandmother was in Garden Club, so they thought it would be a nice connection to have me take the photo. I snapped a few, and of course got snapped too! Lunch was great, and this all took place at The Wentworth Inn, Jackson NH - a BEAUTIFUL venue for a wedding

Bill Lee, of Bill Lee Photography and I did a dual photo/video shoot on Thursday at the North Conway Grand Hotel to capture events going on for “Rally in the Valley“. Bill does an amazing job both commercially and with weddings. Bill works both in North Conway, Portland, and Laguna Beach, CA. Thanks for the props Bill

Congratulations to my friend, boss, and associate Chris Proulx. We met at RSN 10 years ago (WOW), and yesterday RSN had a small gathering at Delaney’s for Lunch. No major gag gifts but the food, and Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream cake was out of this world!  Did I  mention this was a “surprise” organized by our station manager Melissa - she told Chris that Delaney’s needed a new interview so chris arrived looking around for Dick (owner) and looking where to set up the shoot when he stumbled across his friends! SURPRISE!

Great to meet and see everyone!

Jeff, Carl, Susan and John came over from RSN headquarters in Portland, ME. Dave from the Sunday River Station - Melissa, Bowie, Kelly and I from RSN North Conway, Krissy and Greg from Attitash and Kim Beals from Hospialitymaps.com

The Mt. Washington Valley Business to Business Expo 2008! Always a blast to see people and network (and eat a lot of chocolate treats!) The hotel addition is coming along out back where the pool was. Lunch was delicious! The dining room looks great - the ballroom where all the vendors were set up and lobby all look great too. The view…unchanged and spectacular! See you up there on 5/17, 6/21 and 6/28 for some fabulous weddings! I also visited with Sheena Harte from Harte Rentals today - if you are looking for anything from linens, flatware, accessories like chair covers, sashes, aisle runners etc… they have it all - just click here.

THURSDAY, APRIL 3rd was the Spring Luncheon for a very talented group of Women Wedding Photographers in Maine that Emilie Sommer of Emilie Inc. organizes. My main focus is wedding VIDEOgraphy but I love to network with other Photographers so they know there is a videographer right over the border here in NH. We met at the Roma Cafe in Portland. Here’s a group picture of us all taken with Emilie’s Camera. I’m not in the photo because I actually pushed the button on her camera for their group shot. I was just a guest so I volunteered. Great to meet everyone and hope to see you at a wedding soon :)
