This week’s book choice is one that my own book club is reading this month, the NYT best seller, The Woman in the Window, by A J Finn. I have seen a bunch of people reading this book and posting it on instagram, so I was curious…..The story has been called ingenious and powerful and they say that you cannot put it down once you start. Here is the summary:
Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is local photographer Wendy Baruchowitz. Wendy was literally my Christmas angel. It was the third week of December. And I had nothing…..no photo, or no card. None of my kids would let me take a photo of them so it was looking like we would not be sending Holiday cards this year. I had “met” Wendy on Facebook. We had messaged back and forth a couple of months ago. I decided to try my luck and reach out to her to see if she could fit us in for a mini shoot (wishful thinking the week before Christmas). Wendy was leaving to go on vacation that Wednesday, but she offered to have my kids come in on Monday and she would photograph them. Wendy worked for hours on my prints and she turned them around in ONE DAY, so I would be able to send out my cards by the end of the week……TOTAL ANGEL. And she did the most amazing job. Her photos were perfect. Every single one came out great. I HIGHLY recommend Wendy. She is so personable, accommodating and all around fabulously talented. To contact Wendy, email her HERE.
