KB’s Kake Kreations is a local Gainesville Cake Business that specializes in Wedding Cakes and Custom Specialty Cakes. This local business wanted to do their part and went above and beyond to make this a special time for the crew while they were here in Gainesville. KB’s has been featured in the Knot for the past three years and wanted to do their part to make the team feel at home while they were working hard on the Wagstaff home.
EMHE had been working non- stop for the week of December 7 and is again on the forefront of everyone’s mind with the show airing. KB’s felt this was one way they could help and give back to the community. They also brought Kake Truffles on Sunday when everyone was working hard to finish the house and move in the furniture. It was a nice treat for the cast and crew while they were working hard.
I invite all of you to stop by the studio and take a look yourself at how far it has come! I am so proud of the space and all of the individuals who have made this vision of mine a reality. A HUGE thank you to Room Service for delivering the couch today and making the studio that much more complete. We welcome you to come by and check out the new digs! - Caroline

About The Auction
The mission of the Mentor Auction is twofold, to save lives and change the world by tapping into the incredible talent and generosity of the wedding industry and to create better and more successful photographers. To accomplish this goal we've asked some of the best and brightest in the wedding and portrait world to donate 90 minutes of their time and anything else they feel like giving to be auctioned off to the highest bidder!
100% of the proceeds directly benefit Thirst Relief International, saving lives and changing the world! Add to that the incredible wisdom and talent that is being shared in the one-on-one mentors sessions and you have better and more successful photographers! So, not only are lives being saved but the lives of many photographers are being made better! It's truly a win win for everyone involved!
Auctions close February 17 between 6:30 and 8 p.m. Pacific
(9:30 and 11 p.m. Eastern)

I often have the pleasure of meeting someone that is incredible. A while back I met Tanya Douglas. She had approached me in search of joining the Caroline Johnson team. Unfortunately, I was already staffed. I met with her for a second meeting to get to know her and figure out how I could help her secure a job. Her background ironically is in landscape architecture. She is ridiculously talented with sketching. Within 2 seconds she whipped out the sketch while interviewing for a potential job with us. Her creativity amazed me and her talent was remarkable. I knew she belonged in the Orlando Wedding Market. I got a buzz that Solutions Bridal was hiring and instantly knew she would be a perfect fit! As of last Thursday she is a new face at Solutions Bridal! I am excited for her because the staff at Solutions Bridal is amazing! When you are in the Salon be sure to stop in and say hi to her!

Happy Valentine's Day!
{a special word from your photographer}
I am so fortunate to be in the business of capturing LOVE on film. From the silly moments and glances that a couple in love shares to the love that a woman and man share for their children. It is my life mission to not only love but to capture personal love stories.
Eight years back when I was first discovering my love and passion for photography while in Seattle, I attended what I thought was a silly corporate seminar. The message that was unveiled at the end of the two day seminar was that in life one should "LOVE, LEARN & LEAVE a LEGACY!"
Photography has been a LOVE for me because it has provided a haven for me to explore and take witness to moments that I may have overlooked. When searching for the perfect images through my lens, I feel really alive. My heart slows down as my eyes explore and take in all the visuals. When I have my camera in hand, I feel as though I am truly living in the moment. My LOVE of photography has guided me and my amazing clients constantly push me to see differently, explore the ordinary, and see the extraordinary!
I am so grateful to my many life teachers. From those who guide me everyday to those who have helped me to unleash my creative potential through their teachings. I enjoy photography so much because every day I am LEARNING. One can never know it all in this industry. Technology is constantly changing and pushing me to new heights with my art. In honor of those how have taught me, it is my goal this year to give back and teach those who are seeking to LEARN. Seminars will be launched in the second part of 2010.
Photography is my way to leave a LEGACY for many generations to share. An image can last forever. Generations upon generations will cherish their family history. There is nothing sweeter than when a client comes back several years later and tells me what it meant to them when their son or daughter was old enough to enjoy their wedding images.
I hope that you too can find a unique way to share with the world your amazing talents. It is my Valentine's Day wish that you too choose to LOVE, LEARN, & LEAVE a LEGACY.
Happy Valentine's Day - XOXO
