Seriously!!!

First of all....yes I am a Grey's Fan but I love Denny Crane more (sign over the door!...that's an inside joke of course) so in the midst of my extreme tiredness this week and my stupid ear infection that makes me feel like I'm constantly walking on a rocking ship, I really enjoyed just watching some TV. Lost finally got going (about time) and then Prison Break with those amazing staring eyes! came on too. I'm into eyes at the moment, it's part of my workshop with Barb Uil : Eyes and Light this month and next I think. My brain is frazzled as I try and drink it all in but I am LOVING my photography. Haven't scrapped for weeks but have studied and shot so many images that have then been trashed, I'm feeling okay about not having completed a page. My friend, Tash, helped me with my Logo and it is awesome...Look!!!! Bookings are coming in too and it is so exciting! One family even paid me double what I charged, they were soooo happy!!! I couldn't believe it! Here's one of my latest course photos......... and for some of my American buddies who are soaking up the sun and complaining about the heat wave....think of us! Won't be soooo long getting back here next time!

What an Awesome Family!

Just started proofing but surprised to find they were nearly all good and even their dogs loved having their photos taken....quite the posers' as it turned out!

So Excited ....New Business!~!!

So the Logo and name for the business have all come together. The Photo shoots are rolling in and i did one today (with a inner ear infection that has me feeling like I'm rocking on a ship!!!)....yes the photos were off-scew but I planned it that way!!! Will post some shots tomorrow when I've finished checking them and looked through the model release forms. Beautiful family...and their two very boisterous dogs. Had such fun with them. Here's the new business name.....what do you think? I think the typeface at the bottom or on the blurb line is not quite right...Hmmmmm. Sent it to my friend, Rees Morley of Morley Design....he is AMAZING! and I know he will come back with a solution. In the meantime, I wrote out my first proper invoice for photography. Wow!

Just some thoughts......

The girls had their ballet recital on the weekend, it all went off beautifully, even managing to find a hairdresser to do their buns at the last minute because I was feeling ill. Erick was away in Dunedin so I was flying solo and the two boys had to come as well, lucky for me they slept through the second half and a very kind usher helped me carry them to the car at 10pm!! I'll post photos of Kels tomorrow but here's Megs.... Loved that I went to Danielle's blog this morning and she was having the same thoughts I was! I've just resigned from a couple of things but more on that later. Feeling freed up, happy, content with my life. Loving what I do, loving my photography and learning heaps even though I feel like I know nothing and i'm terrified everytime I am booked for a photo shoot but then I look at the photos and realise, they'll only buy them if they love them too, so it doesn't really matter anyway. Have a LLLLOOONNNNNGGGG list of things I need to buy though (poor hubby!!!). My BIG announcement is that Barb Uil visited my Blog!!!! Now I know you are all going WHO???? but if you don't know that, you are missing out! Best go here and fall in love! She even emailed me and we 'talked'...wow! Can't wait to start her Course. Well, enough ramblings...catch ya laters! Ohhhh, almost forgot...here's one for my scrapping buddies... Thanks Evana...cool workshop!!
