today was full of connecting with other photographers. i was invited to a lunch where other local wedding vendors were gathering to network, eat, and share what we love the business. i soaked up all the wisdom and advice from these more seasoned photographers...and found some inspiration in their work.
i ended my day with a meeting about a local program called whispers. headed up by lisa ruff, this program offers families in the NICU and labor wings at spectrum health photography when the baby has passed. it was incredibly heart-breaking to hear the stories and to realize the number of families that experience this loss. but i could really sense the significance of having some pictures of their baby, to capture the diginity of the baby. i know it will be an honor to be a of this program. if you're a photographer in the Grand Rapids area they are having another information meeting next Monday at 7-8:30 pm. Go to the Whispers web-site for more information.
i feel really thankful that my love for photography has lead me to meet such amazing people...i guess you never know where you'll find community!
oh, and check out my new specs....

so glad you could come to lunch! jen & amy are such fun girls and i'm glad they put that together for everyone. looking forward to more fun times together! also--very awesome about the whispers program.
+ LOVE the new frames. so fun!
I love your photos of inanimate objects! You really should market some of them... Maybe you could sell note cards, or invitations or something. I still have your card with the bathtub knobs on the front, waiting for the right spot to frame and hang it.
Anyway, just a thought:)
oohh.....love the new frames! :)
Hey lady! I was great meeting you as well!
The one thing I have learned from being around so many other photographers is that no mater how "seasoned" you are, there is so MUCH more to learn from others.
Being a mom that had a child at NICU in 2004 this is definitely something I'm interested in. Thanks!
