Event planning is turning out to be my niche~ I've always BEEN an event planner in some capacity though I've never held the label / title before... and I'm pretty sure I'm loving it! Even when I was a small child, I always had my hands into something ~ organizing this or that, starting groups and clubs and leading my friends around. I always seemed to have followers. It wasn't ALWAYS a good thing;) I DID grow up in the Bronx and led a pretty rough lifestyle before I married Uncle Sam's Army. Mostly though, I did good things and led my friends in the right direction;)
When I did belong to the Army, I was a planner there as well; A planner and a strong leader. I guess it's there where I honed my skills and learned how to make things happen for myself and everyone around me. I spent my entire adult life living this way that I never really thought much about it until I sat down earlier and wrote out my experiences. I realized that I have more event planning experience than most legit by trade event planners! LOL Funny how that happens and odd how sometimes we don't even realize our own talents and value until we're forced to really look into the mirror and write them down.
Anyway~ I've been working with Jamie Forhan of Peter P. Photography as an event planner over the past few months. We've been working on charity fashion shows and events in the Metro D.C. area & I've been helping him with some promo t-shirt designs as well. I'm the assistant organizer of the Fairfax Modeling & Photography Group which basically raises funds for Jamie's Munchkin Fund Charity.
My event planning & digital artist portfolio is being worked on at OMP / One Model Place and can be viewed at the following link. If you are a model or photographer, love fashion and glamour, are a true fashionista or are simply into charity work, our events may be of great interest to you!
