I'm a member of a local photographers' group - the Click Chicks. It's great to have a group of colleagues and friends who share your passion. Usually when we all get together, we talk business. Translation: awesome networking, awesome peer resource, super awesome people. I would probably still need a day job if it weren't for all of the wisdom I've gained from these women. Now, I'm not saying they've given me all the answers. But, they've shown me where to look for them. And that's a huge step in the right direction for someone like me.

Sometimes, Click Chick meetings happen outside and include cameras. This year, we had some great couples, a few very stylish high school seniors, and a fantastic makeup artist - Beautiful Skin by Mimi - join us in the fun. Results & action shots below. :)

Yay! Alese likes frogs too! :)
