At the beginning of this month, I worked with iMADdu to help sponsor the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour at George Mason University. EET is about helping young entrepreneurs understand how to start their own business and giving them some of the tools to become successful.
iMADdu=I make a difference, do you? Mona Olsen, the founder, created iMADdu to help give college students a way to find internships in areas where their studies and the internship go hand in hand. In all honesty, they explain it much better than I do:
To empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, iMADdu provides students with hands-on entrepreneurial experience and mentorship, bridging the gap between the academic and the practical, between learning and doing, between thought and action. The sum being so much greater than the parts alone. In a different time we called it apprenticeship. -iMADdu
The entire event had an all star cast of keynote and panel speakers. Alan Merten (Mason's president) and Rick Corcoran (Senior Adviser of US Chamber's Campaign for Free Enterprise) kicked off the event. Megan First, Jason Duff, Tracy Foster, Tora Matsuoka, Tom Moore, Arel Moodie, and Mona Olsen also were keynote speakers and part of the panel.
Here are some of the photos from the event:

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
