Come by and say hi! Let me know you read this blog and I’ll have a special gift for you!
I will be on vacation from January 14th through January 25th, returning to the office Monday January 26th. I will have very limited email access and almost no telephone access so please be patient; I may not be able to respond to you until I return!
Y’all KNOW I love wedding cake right? 🙂 So this benefit is RIGHT UP my alley.
Let’s Eat Cake! is a wedding cake competition, featuring Wedding Cake confections from all over the United States. Bakers will feature their cakes to be judged by Local and National Culinary Celebrities. In addition bakers will be asked to make enough cake to feed the general public, so that they may judge the cakes as well!
Their Goal is to raise $50,000 for this extremely worthy cause, we know times are tough for everyone out there. But that doesn’t mean that doesn’t mean that kids still aren’t getting sick. Please help spread the word about the mission. If you can help financially, that’d be great, if you blogging about this right now…. your spreading the word – and that’s all we can ask for!
If you’d like to attend (and get to nibble on all those fab cakes), donate or just want more details go to:
Let’s Eat Cake Blog
AND Just for this week!!! You can make Melissa pay. She has pledged to donate $1 for any blogs on which “Let’s Eat Cake” details appears. So pass it on and be sure to send Melissa DiStephano a link (info@masterpieceweddings.net) so she can pay up!
I didn’t get a chance to blog this one earlier when it first came out but I wanted to share it with you! Weddings Unveiled magazine is a great publication focusing on upscale weddings here in the South East. They selected Sarah and Jason’s wedding at their home outside of Charlottesville for all of the fabulous details and I don’t blame them!! The details were AMAZING! I especially loved their clear tent! (so much so that I climbed up and out on the roof of their three story historic home to capture some overall shots of them while they were dancing)
Presenting, Sarah and Jason!
Here’s the cover (which I did not shoot) if you want to look for it in person
Every first friday of the month, the Riverviews Artspace (my studio building), hosts an artists’ studio open house. Most of the artists open their studios for visitors young and old; its over three floors of artists and their work! I’m not in town for most of them but when I am, I love to see all the people who come by! Please consider this your open invitation to drop in at my studio on 901 Jefferson Street suite 207, between 6 and 8 Friday to see some of the latest work and sign up for our free portrait session give away!
While I like to anticipate the coming year, photographs are about looking back and remembering. So, for today, I wanted to remember all of the weddings, portraits and fine art/documentary assignments from 2008 and share them with you my lovely blog readers. Enjoy!
To all of you far and near, close and dear, our best wishes for the most happy and healthy of new years!
I had an epiphany of sorts the other day while chatting with a client. She asked me how many holiday cards I send out and I mumbled – something like 400? And I thought about that for a minute. And, I’ve been thinking about it since then. 400 cards and their envelopes that will (most likely) get dumped the day after Christmas. The gas and trucks to deliver 400 cards. It’s been one of my ways to keep up with clients but I think with this blog, facebook, even twitter, there are other better ways to connect that don’t involve destroying trees and our increasingly fragile environment.
While I strongly believe in photo memories (duh!), I think perhaps this year I would try cutting that list down to just family instead of all the client friends I’ve made along the way. And, because I wouldn’t want anyone to miss the fabulous photo card I had planned, you can find it right here below this post. 🙂 Enjoy!
A new day has dawned.
Peace on Earth.
Good will toward man.
Thank you to all our wonderful client friends and families for a fantastic 2008! We all look forward to an even more amazing 2009! Be safe this season.
