About the
Unique Ladies of the
Hudson Valley
"When Melissa Surprise began her photography business in the Hudson Valley, she was keenly aware of the lack of support for new businesses, especially those helmed by women. Inevitably, as her business grew, Melissa made a few key connections that helped lift her photography business off the ground. Over time, Melissa and her local businesswomen contacts began to meet monthly over early morning coffee to exchange ideas and leads and offer general moral support. Thus the Unique Ladies of the Hudson Valley was birthed, a flourishing network of dynamic local businesswomen who share a common trait—being unlike anyone else, and therefore unique."
