I don't think I had been to a networking event since I was barely pregnant with Boone.  Between feeling awful during pregnancy and having about zero extra time with a newborn and then toddler, attending events had to go to the back burner for awhile.  

When Amy - owner of WOW Factor Cakes - asked me if I would be willing to shoot this event to celebrate the launch of her new shop, I said yes immediately.  I considered it a real honor to be asked by one of the best in Charlotte to photograph this next step in her business.  Truly, Amy is a true artist - her cakes are BOTH creative and great tasting.  

The opening event was perfect - great weather, great company, great decor, and great cake!  Many thanks to the following for making the evening what it was:
