As 2008 comes to a close, one simple sentiment sums it all up for me: it’s been a great year. 2008 has been filled with fantastic events, exciting opportunities, and the chance to connect with great people. Here’s a rundown of some of what I’ve been up to.

Beata was fantastic! Her pictures were creative and really captured the essence of our wedding. Our guests were impressed with the shots she got and her service was quick once we returned from our honeymoon. I would recommend her to any bride! Kelly

We are so pleased that we selected Beata Plawska for my daughter's wedding photographer. I truly don't know how she managed to take all the shots that we requested as well as many touching moments that we never expected, for example, the flower girl straightening the bride's train during the ceremon. Beata seemed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive. The photos of the bride and groom at sunset are spectacular. She is a true artist. I highly recommend her.

Beata's lense captured not only the images of our wedding, but also the emotion, style, and excitement of the weekend. She was easy to work with and unobtrusive. When our special day brought a rainy downpour, Beata was unruffled and put smiles on our faces with her charming shots beneath umbrellas. Along with our guests we were impressed that she took such an array of lovely pictures without making her presence obvious. Beata is both true to her photojournalistic style and deeply dedicated to her clients' needs.

After spending months looking for a photographer that captured the true beauty and power of weddings, we met Beata at a Bridal Show and fell completely for the realness in her pictures. Once we realized she was in our budget, we booked her right away. And I am so glad we did, the pictures turned out amazing! It was an overcast day and I was really worried the pictures wouldn't look perfect, but with the dark skies, they came out better than I imagined! Her attention to detail and her ability to make pictures bring you back to that moment is very hard to find. I would recommend her for any bride, she was great.

Hello Beata and Happy New Year to you,
Just wanted to thank you again for the beautiful job you did photographing our wedding. You really captured our day the way we were hoping. The images are just stunning and we will treasure them forever. Also, we appreciate how friendly and helpful you were during what can be a very chaotic time. We will always be grateful for your talent and kindness when we look back on our wedding day.
Thank you again,
Jennifer and Matthew Thornton

Baby Shower

Ashley's Baby Shower








<


A baby shower is a party in which parents receive gifts for their expected child. The term therefore has more in common with the concept of a bridal shower than it does with other connotations of showering, especially that of washing babies.
By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their baby. It is a popular tradition in the United States and in other cultures like Africa, Asia and Latin America, but are "women-only" social gatherings.
Among Hindus in India, religious rituals resembling Western baby showers are held during the seventh month of pregnancy.In some countries this party is not celebrated until the baby is born.
