"A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener.

So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts."

I was reminded why I love California with all of my heart while driving back to the bay area from Los Angeles last week.

Your warm whispers Out of the dark they carry my heart Your warm whispers Into the dawn they carry me through And I'm weeping warm honey and milk That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me

Your warm whispers Letting me drown in a pool of you Your warm whispers Keeping the noise from breaking through And I'm weeping warm honey and milk That you stay surrounding me, surrounding me Yeah I'm weeping warm honey and milk that you Stay surround me, surrounding me Honey stay surrounding me

Bay Area and Los Angeles Wedding Photographer : Thoughts on 2009

Meg Perotti December 31, 2009

The New Year, for business owners, brings reflection. Our tax cycle is over, our 2009 client folders can be retired, and our hard drives backed up, saved, and archived. Thinking about where I was a year ago is almost overwhelming. As I glance over my 2009 goals list I made last year at WPPI I am amazed, and dare I say proud of myself, at all that I have accomplished. This year was not easy, it was extremely busy, filled with the stress of creating your own paychecks, and the hope that you will find your clients fulfilled and happy. But, this year was splendid in a way that no year has ever been. I am my own boss and there is nothing better than that. Yes, when sh*t hits the fan, it is my mess to clean up. I am not going to lie, there have been times when I wished I had someone higher up to straighten things out or make decisions- but I am forever learning, as a business owner should, and I cannot wait to take on the lessons 2010 will teach me. Most importantly, 2009 has been FUN. Thanks to all my amazing clients for trusting my ability to document your love. You are forever part of the Meg Perotti story and I love you all to pieces!
