Ambassador.ghafari : Cleveland.visit
at the end of July, i was asked to accompany Ambassador Ghafari, the U.S. Ambassador to Slovenia, to a trip to visit the Slovenian community in Cleveland, Ohio. we started the morning with a visit to the newly opened Center for Slovenian Studies, also known as CSS. we then went onward to a fabulous luncheon at Sterles Slovenian Countryhouse. lastly, we concluded the day with a tour of the new Slovenian Museum and Archives & a visit to the Slovenian National Homet.
for almost 8 years now, i have documented many different events for Ambassador Ghafari & it is always a pleasure to be around him (and his family).
he is truly one of the most genuine, good-hearted & kindest of people that i have ever met.
as you can tell, i don't normally post events such as these, however i thought this was a bit different & wanted to share a few pics from the day with you. this summer has been filled with many different adventures, on top of my usual weddings, engagement & portrait sessions!
it might also give you a better idea as to why i have been so insanely busy!
