i had the pleasure of photographing the ladies luncheon for the downtown raleigh alliance a few days ago at marbles kids museum. it was such a fantastic experience! there were approximately 200 women in attendance, all business owners, ceos, presidents, and other successful women in business in raleigh. how awesome is that?! the ladies had a great time exchanging business cards and information, having lunch, and listening to the panel of 3 powerful raleigh women discuss raleigh’s past, present, and future.

and folks, i just can’t get enough of marbles. someone please have your wedding there. there are just too many fantastic photographic opportunities.
