Caryn Poling, Shawn Lane
San Diego Vacation Photography (SDVP) began 4 years ago with an idea. Walking around our beloved San Diego, my best friend, Shawn who has been a photographer for over 10 years, would notice people, mostly tourist taking pictures of each other, but not together.

Trisha Blake, Richelle Brown
Trisha: “Richelle and I both have histories working in very big, corporate settings with huge marketing and advertising departments where we were some of the only female leaders.” I was fortunate to start my career at R&R Partners in Las Vegas, working on the ‘What Happens, Stays Here’ campaign that’s still going strong today, more than 15 years since it was conceived. From there, I moved on to become the first female director of media for MGM Resorts International, where I managed a budget of about $80 million a year.” Read more>>

Gina Freize
I always wanted to own my own business, but I didn’t know what it would be. My mom is from Austria, and after visiting there many times, I fell in love with all the specialty food shops. Cheese was always one of my favorite foods. If there was a choice of cheese or ice cream, the cheese would be mine. Read more>>
