The woman has it and she makes a camera ROCK ... even when one is not even posing ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE MM Photography....some of my best and most treasured photos taken at the ObesityHelp Conferences were taken by her ... I met her on obesityhelp.com ... Her photos of me and others are some of my most cherished memories ... I have them in my empowerment journal ... dated and with the photographer's name... She has her very own blog too at http://www.meltingmama.net/
I met Beth in person for the very first time in 2008 ... It was at the OH Philly Conference that she snapped this picture of myself, Ramon and Debbie ....
In 2009 she surprised me with this picture that she took at the 2009 OH Conference in RYE, New York
and my husband took these of Beth and I at that same event OH Conference Rye New York 2009
Why would I be surprised that Beth captured a very special moment for me at the recent OH Conference in Long Island this weekend? Very candidly she has made my day without even knowing it ...
At the conference I was looking for Cyn, another OH member at the conference because I had painted a canvas of her back in 2010 and never got a chance to get it to her ...when she said she was going to the conference I replied to her on Kim's sticky thread that I would love to see her because I wanted to hand her something ...she knew what I was talking about too and I was so excited to get a chance to meet the lady...
I did not see her the first night at the meet and greet although she was there -- I did not recognize her in costume ... on Saturday I had the envelope with the canvas in it just in case I would see her at any of the awesome workshops. On a break I went into the vendors area and was looking around ... shoot .. I painted her so I must be able to recognize her right? and I did ... we spotted each other at the same time ... how awesome is that? She was standing at Beth's booth packed with awesome goodies that booth was...
As I walked towards Cyn I took the canvas out of the envelope just as she was saying "I KNOW YOU!!" ... Beth had her camera and took some pics randomly ... I hate how I look with my face or eyes doing things sometimes LOL but Beth ALWAYS takes manages good pictures of me ... ... I saw these on her FB page ...and I had to copy them over to my digital journal ...
THANK YOU MELTING MAMA ... FOR CAPTURING THESE SO SPECIAL MOMENTS IN THE LIFE OF THIS OLD FART SISTA....
