Member Spotlight: Dolly Newberg, Perfect Reflections Photography
 My passion for photography ignited when my children were born. Since then, it's been an extension of my creativity and the palette for my work.
I started Perfect Reflections Photography because I love storytelling through photos. A mother-to-be, the "I Dos" and the unbearable Goodbye, these photos convey the raw emotion, love and sorrow that make up our lives and I'm proud that I'm able to capture these future memories as documentation, as our legacy.
We added Mirror Me Perfect Selfie Photobooth as a 'side car' to the photography business. We wanted to distinguish ourselves from other photographers and with this unique addition, no one will argue that it is non-stop fun, laughs and head over heels entertainment for everyone who grabs a crown and says 'cheese.'
We joined the Chamber to share the fun with local businesses, to offer something different for business photography and corporate event planning.
The Mirror Me helps remind people that a Successful business person can still be full of adventure, that there is a time for business but team building is also important and that no one is ever too old to have a little fun.
If you'd like to find out more about my photography services, email us at PerfectReflectionsMN@gmail.com or if you have a Corporate Event coming soon and want to kick the excitement up a notch, check out my video and judge for yourself how much fun this unique booth could bring to your event.

Volunteering Commitment in Dakota County
 Josh Keskey, Account Executive for Minuteman Press in Mendota Heights, sits behind his desk. However, you would hardly ever see him there.
Keskey has his home and work life. Then, being a member of both the Riverheights Chamber where he sits as ambassador and Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce where he's involved in Emerging Leaders - and still Keskey finds time to volunteer with DARTS as part of the Snow Angels program.
"It's good to see there are ways that (older adults) are able to stay home and be comfortable," said Keskey.
Whenever the classic Minnesota weather hits, Keskey drives to Eagan and Apple Valley where he makes sure that two different older adults in the community have their walkways clear and safe. "They are always both extremely thankful that somebody is there helping take care of it."
