Elegant Window

One of my favorite clients is Amy of the Elegant Window. What I love about Amy aside from the fact she should double as a model (not to rat out her age but can you believe she has a son in college) is that she too is an artist. Her job is making your home look cheerful and beautiful with often handcrafted window dressings. Today she invited me out to take photos of her giving a Window Fashion Trunk Show at Fabric Forum located in High Point, NC.

Guilford Mill

Guilford Mill located just outside of Greensboro, NC is a beautiful scenic location that I learned about through some nature photographers I happen to know. I love the richness of colors and how preserved the mill is.

Braidsmaid Fitting

Sharon had her braidsmaid fitting today at The Bridal Boutique of Raleigh located near downtown Raleigh, NC. Sharon is a taskmaster and the ladies were having fun while they were getting measured for their gowns.

Shoot just to Shoot

Today’s or should I say tonight’s shoot just to shoot, I went downtown to Greensboro’s Center City. I love the fountain and how busy the park is. These shots were at night so I went with the blur affect and bumped up my ISO for a semi daytime look for this night image.

My dream townhouse

Again house hunting with my BFF, I end up finding my dream Townhouse and ended up talking her into it as well. Maybe we’ll be neighbors one day. The townhouse is built by Portrait Homes and features 2 bedrooms and a loft. The loft is just perfect for a quaint studio.

Fun Times Networking

Today was networking day for me some planned and some not planned. It all started out with me having lunch with my good friend from Greensboro Merchant Assoc (GMA), Chris Young. I always enjoy seeing Chris with his interesting ties, and keen sense on how to make businesses successful. Chris is pictured below wearing his Chicago Bears tie with cufflinks that actually tells time. ..Only you Chris.
Later I decided to go to Barnes and Noble on Friendly and catch up on some of my reading. While there I ran into Linda Blumenfeld from Guilford Woman Magazine, and several of her networking buddies, some of whose names and cards I didn't get (I know shame on me). I met Linda when I joined the GMA Networking Gurus and she lives up to the name. Our first conversation was an immediate, "You do great work, how can I help you?"

My networking story ends with me sitting at my table at Barnes and Noble and a lady seeing my photography books out and asks, "Are you a professional photography?" To which I replied with a grin and said, "Yes I am" We chatted for a few about what type of photography she was interested in having done and I gave her my business card to later contact me.

Moral of the story: have well dress friends to get you in places you can't get into (Thanks for the referral Chris) always ask for a card, always carry a card.
