A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
At 11:30am today on the tradeshow floor at the SONY booth, I’m going to demonstrate a photo shoot of a TODDLER!!! It’s NEVER been done before by anyone! I have no idea how this will go down. Some people are telling me I’m crazy. But you know what, it’s going to be REAL! And we are ALL going to learn a ton from it! I can’t WAIT!
Yesterday, I had a mom and baby. And people thought that was nuts! But, I say we up the challenge and bring the two year old in. Photo Plus Expo is all about learning, being inspired, being challenged, walking away empowered! What better vehicle than a two year old for all of us! 🙂
(but seriously, wish me luck!)
Here are some fun photos from yesterday at the SONY booth! I’ll be demonstrating three times today and five or six times tomorrow with more babies and families!

and another fun one!

Special Book Signing for “Your Baby in Pictures” at the Chelsea Museum tonight from 6:30-8pm! Hope to see you there!
So…do you think I’m crazy?

You are not nuts MeRa. Being brave & real, it’s just what you do! You inspire us all!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:05 am
I just wish we were in NY so you could demo with my toddler!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:31 am
Not nuts…you are REAL and that’s why we love you!
October 28th, 2011 at 8:01 am
That’s awesome, Me Ra!!! Can’t wait to hear about how it goes! I know the images will be amazing and best of all people can see you work your magic!
October 28th, 2011 at 8:04 am
Yep…you are a little nuts. And it’s one of the many reasons why we adore you. 🙂
I often leap before I look when it comes to new photography adventures, and I always am up for a challenge…even if inside I’m scared out of my boots! I love that even though you are an amazing professional photog, you get nervous, too…and aren’t afraid to share that with us. I admit…it makes me feel a little better about dabbling in the unknown territory of my photography knowledge and experience. 🙂
Hope all went well! XO

MeRa, you were the first one to show “your photographer” face in the magazine; you were the first one to do a photo shoot at the tradeshow! Go on, don’t stop! You’re inspiring thousands of us with your Confidence!
October 28th, 2011 at 8:24 am
If anyone can pull it off it will be you! And if nothing else… you can show what not to do. :0)
October 28th, 2011 at 8:38 am
That is AWESOME!! I’m so happy you are brave enough to step up and go where nobody has gone before. Good luck & have fun!!
October 28th, 2011 at 10:12 am
You Rock MeRa!!! Don’t ever change!
October 28th, 2011 at 10:54 am
MeRa you can do anything! I have faith in you and all you do. Change the world little by little by little…keep blowing them away and paving new ways. Love you.

Sometimes it takes a little bit of craziness to be amazing MeRa – just keep being amazing! Just keep being you!
October 28th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
Freakin awesome. No matter WHAT happens.
October 28th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
MeRa, if anyone can do this, it will be you, for sure. And regardless of how the photos turn out, everyone will have a ball….just because it’s you taking the shots. Way to go and good luck, too! 🙂
October 28th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Love it! You can do it — we believe in you! :o)

Me Rah, you aren’t crazy at all!!!!! I really enjoyed your presentation yesterday (Saturday) at the Sony Booth! It was a pleasure to meet you and learn from you! You are a true and genuine person! Looking into a Confidence workshop!! My husband told me that I would be crazy NOT to take one of your workshops! Thanks you for all of your inspiration!!!!!!
