Happenings this week


Thank you for TWO amazing events!

On Nov. 5th we had a Grove Social in Washington, DC and boy was it fun! Our host Mary Pat Collins had a great time welcoming women, and the conversation flowed for hours. Thank you to the women who came out on a Saturday morning to connect with fellow photographers! We'll do another Grove Social there in 2023, so keep an eye on our announcements!

All last week, The Grove was at the annual PMRE Conference in Las Vegas. We were honored to officially sponsor and host the Ladies' Luncheon, which featured Ema Peter talking and answering questions from the women in attendance. What a great chat! We were also honored to see Ema, friend and community member in our Facebook group, grace the stage for a session that made a huge impact on everyone. Way to go Ema!

Throughout the week I personally got to connect with so many people, some for a few moments and others for hours at a time. It was so amazing to get to connect in person with so many that I get to know online. ❤️

Thank you to all the attendees that I connected with and to the PMRE team for pulling off another wonderful event!

I'd rather regret the risks that didn't work out than the chances I didn't take at all.
