St. Claire Valentine's Gala

Last Saturday, I planned two events in one day (yeah, I know...what was I thinking?) and the second one was St. Claire's Valentine Gala which was at the Conference Center this year. They had a good turnout and the place looked fabulous. As part of my contract I did photos of all the guest and took lots of candid photos throughout the event.

It was a really fun evening and I am already hoping I get invited back next year! They had a band from Frankfort and the event was catered by an highly efficient company from Lexington.

The St. Claire pictures will be ready on Monday and will be available to pickup from the Empact group. I will also be hosting these awesome photos on a website so anyone from the event can order additional prints at discounted rates! Please send me your email address if you would like to be able to view these photos.

Everyone had a great time and it was so much fun to work with all the smiling faces of St. Claire! A special thanks goes out to Dianna Bentley for asking me to be a part of that special event!

Here are a few shots from the Gala:

Chickie Monkies Valentines Photos

I had a blast at Chickie Monkies last Saturday morning as we offered free Valentine's Day photos to children. We had a good turnout and the kids all got gift bags and there were delicious refreshments to munch on! We've already decided to do this again for Easter.

If you came and got your child's photo taken the pictures are in and will be available for pick up at Chickie Monkies as of today. I will also be posting a website where you can order additional prints at a great discount. Thanks again to all the families for coming out and visiting with us! A special big thanks to Chickie Monkies for being such an awesome supporter of Chrissy Perkins Photography! I heart Chickie Monkies!

25 Random things about Chrissy Perkins

1. I broke a girl's jaw with a round house kick in an international karate competition and ended up with a 3rd place finish.

2. I have dabbled in just about every form of art since I was old enough to hold crayons. I even have a few sculptures floating around.

3. I HATE those little seeds in tomatoes. If I get one of those slimmey things on a sandwich, its ruined. However, I can drink salsa like its no one's business.

4. If I won the lottery the first thing I'd do is buy a fabulous piano, tons of sheet music and do nothing but play piano for a month straight.

5. I have traveled to Denmark, Sweden, England, and Amsterdam. I have so many more places to visit.

6. I never dreamed I'd be living in Morehead at age 30.

7. If you had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, at age 9 I would have told you "to be a writer and photographer for National Geographic."

9. All my best friends live in other states/countries except for one.

10. If I could spend my summer mountain biking on the muddiest trails I'd be one happy girl.

11. I use to rollerblade miles and miles at Cave Run Lake and then I would lay on a mini boat dock and sleep under the sun on the rocking waves. Luckily, no one ever bothered me in this public place.
