Flower Deliveries Make Every Thing Better!

Me Ra Koh

Wow, it has been such a stressful, crazy week!

Both kids have done this thing where they keep trading sicknesses with each other. You know what I’m talking about? Blaze, our 2 yr. old, starts with a fever and for two days sleeps from 3pm-8am the next day. I know you’re thinking, “Wow, what a break for you!” Hold that thought…

Pascaline, the 5 yr. old, has the head cold and has gone through 3 dozen Kleenex boxes in three days. I feel like a Kleenex bomb went off in EVERY room of my house. She’s up at all times of the night because she can’t breathe. And when it finally breaks, Blaze takes her head cold and gives her the fever.

We’re going on day eight, and I’m about ready to lose my mind! To top it off, Brian crawled out of bed with a soar throat, and oh boy, husbands being sick takes this to an all NEW LEVEL. HELP!!

In the midst of all this, I’ve been trying to stay caught up on emails, returning phone calls, deadlines for magazines, etc. I’ve had the worst luck with New York Magazine. For whatever reason, they haven’t been able to receive my faxes, my interview with their writer has been hard to schedule, and I feel like I’m causing them more stress than helping.

Their City Weddings issue will go out to their 425,000 subscribers at the end of December. They are doing a special, small but cool, write up on Me Ra Koh Photography. I was about ready to give up on the whole thing (trying to find a time when my kids aren’t crying for the interview and a fax that will work for their fax number), when I had the interview with Leslie this morning. I was so relieved with how well it went. Leslie was great!

To top it off, I walk out my front door to get the mail, and on our doorstep is the most beautiful arrangement of purple orchids. I’m thinking Brian sent these, but he was to cool this morning, and he’s the worst at keeping secrets (which I love). I open the card, and it’s from Elaine Woo at New York Magazine, just as a thank you gesture.

My whole week felt so much better when I found those flowers! Wow! It’s amazing how an unexpected flower delivery can make every thing feel better!

Thanks Elaine for all your patience this week! Brian and I are so excited to work more with you and New York Magazine!

    Your website and blog are very beautiful and your images are incredible. I found your website last night and spent quite a bit of time searching images and reading your story. My husband and I have recently made the descision to persue his photography company(gnrphotography.com) full time (along with my dessert catering business). We have one baby boy who was born the day before your youngest.
    I would love to hear any advice you have for us! It is a very scary and exciting time and I am so pleased and encouraged that you and your husband have been so successful.

    Hi Ashley!

    Thanks so much for your email! You are so sweet!

    I’m so excited for you and your husband to pursue this business of wedding photography. It’s a wonderful industry to be in! There are so many good photographers out there who are talented and very helpful in what they do. Check out Open Source Forum for any tips or help you’re needing. We often post there, and it’s a great place to go if you’re in need of input. (The link is under our list of Links on the Home Page.)

    I also wanted to throw out two different types of workshops we’re doing in 2007. I’m doing photography workshops for moms (the one in March still has four or five spots open–click on the Category “Workshops and Speaking for details). Also, Brian and I will be teaching a professional wedding photography workshop in the Hamptons in April 2007. The details for this will released on Monday. If you’re interested, let me know.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! And again, thanks so much for your kind email!

    Warmest Regards,
    Me Ra

  6. After study a few of the blog posts on your website now, and I truly like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Pls check out my web site as well and let me know what you think.

  7. I’ve been browsing online greater than three hours today, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It?¦s lovely price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
