"A True Icon"
I was asked to photograph the Women of Achievement award banquet a couple weeks back. It was honoring Helen Thomas, Suzanne Geha and a few other high achieving women. For those of you who don't know her, she is the most senior member of the White House press corps. She has asked the first question to every president for the past 40 years. That's pretty neat, huh? She even has an HBO documentary about her! That's when you know you've made it ;) I can't say I was terribly familiar with her (okay, maybe not at all), but I was emphatically informed by a woman I was trying to get a photo of that she is "a true icon." Alright, I believe you! She is pretty impressive and she is also Suzanne Geha's aunt who was also being honored for being impressive in her own right. I was certainly honored to be part of the event.

About Me
- melissavannestphotography
- Hello, Melissa here (I've been watching a lot of Burt and Ernie-- hopefully you'll catch the reference) thanks for visiting my blog! I have a pretty cool job. I love photography, it has so many possibilities for artistic expression, my biggest dilemma is sticking to a style. My other cool "job" is mom to my daughter Aysah (at the moment she is 16 months old and all of you were right, it goes by so quickly). I am married to Mr Fix-it... seriously, things are fixed in his mere presence, it's impressive. My ambitions for this blog are to show off my recent work, recruit models, maybe throw out a few photography tips, show off my beautiful baby, let you know what I'm up to, and maybe throw out a saying from my mother (passed down from her mother).
