2007 is coming to a close and the Christmas holiday is less than a month away! Does it seem like each year is getting faster or am I just getting old? Like a little elf, I'm working every day on album orders promised to be shipped in time for the holidays, and also working my new website. I was a partner with Earl Christie (Mermin+Christie Photographers) since 2003 and we have amicably decided to go solo. The new website is to be launched in late December, www.melissamermin.com, and my company is called LoveStories. I liked the name because it really is what I create, and it gets people asking at parties, "What's a love story?" rather than just reading 'photography' next to the name.
I've very excited about what 2008 will bring. My first wedding of the year will be February 2nd weekend in Naples, Florida. And a big perk is that I will get to spend time with my dad in Sarasota, and get to be in southwest Florida in February-- yeah! I've hired the great rock-n-roll/wedding photographer Liz Linder of Boston to be my second shooter and personal masseuse, and we will hopefully have a chance to catch up and relax by the pool after 3 days of shooting together..
