Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Last night was amazing! Brenda, Cathy and I were ready to show off the new studio space and raise a glass to the many people who supported and believed in us! It was an amazing turn out, I couldn’t have asked for a more fun group of people!
And of course, I have many shout outs!
Dave Cutler from Hit It Music Productions for the lighting and the Gobo (photo below)
DJ Bill Calhoun for keeping the music going until past closing!
Paula Rae florals for the lovely centerpeices
Irene from A Perfect Table for the gorgeous linens
Cheryl and NTC staff for the space and the support!
Erik, our bartender
Allison and Jared Smoley, the design team
Our besties, the girls of Beta Iota
and of course my two counterparts, Brenda and Cathy, who without them this never could have become a dream come true. I love you girls!
It’s Bill!
Signature drinks! Mine isn’t pictured…maybe because it was so popular? 🙂
The Cerimone gals and the Gobo!
We each hand selected what drink we wanted to serve
A toast to a successful night!
XOXO, M
