Okay, I am SERIOUSLY slacking in the photo blogging department! I’ve had tons to update about — client sessions, new website additions and such — but they never seem to make it from my Facebook fan page to here.
But enough lamenting.
Time for an update! I had a blast yesterday at the Bridal Expo at The Casino at Lakemont Park. First of all, I met some amazing brides-to-be who had me turning to my husband after they walked away to say, “Oooh! I want to do their wedding!” There’s so little time to connect with individuals at an event like that, but sometimes it just clicks. I got a ton of great feedback from my freebie offer and already got a few calls for dates this summer. Can’t wait!
If only the snow would melt already. Dang.
When I wasn’t talking photo packages, I was eating! Seriously. The Casino had an awesome buffet lunch spread for vendors. My chicken salad spinach wrap with apples and walnuts was perfection. And I would’ve snagged all of the white chocolate cranberry cookies if they hadn’t been in such a high-traffic area.
Then, during the event, my ad rep hand-delivered a much-needed drink. (What service!) And the caterers had so many delicious samples left over at the end that they were handing out plates. Score!
Here are a few photos from the event.

Jerry is getting REALLY good at his Vanna White impersonation,
and he unknowingly wore the perfect color shirt for the event!

When we walked in to set up, I was suprised to see one of the guys I did
senior portraits of last fall! He was there inflating hundreds and hundreds
of balloons. We snuck some home for our daughter who LOVES them.
Thanks Zach! Here is his hard work overlooking DJ Nightlife’s booth.

This is Michael Benjamin of Benjamin’s Destinctive Catering. He gave us
a plate of his leftover gorganzola-filled strawberries at the end, and they
were AMAZING!!! Not to mention the chocolate dessert cups filled with
strawberry whipped awesomeness. I want him to cater my birthday next
weekend! Check out his website: http://www.benjaminscatering.com
