Short and Sweet Photography

So, hello! I feel like talking today which means that I am trying to decide should I say everything in this one blog post that I want to say or should I create a new, seperate blog post…hmmm…one post. So, here’s the thing…I am almost booked out for the year. Over the past few months, I have been playing with my workload trying to determine what the best mix is for me and for my family. I have tried everything from 10 shoots in a month to 6 shoots in a month. And, well, as with most things in life, less is better. Better for me, better for my clients and most definitely better for my family. And, while I CRAZY LOVE BIG BIG CRAZY LOVE my job, I love my family more. And, I need some time with them after the craziness of the past few months. So, from now until the end of January, I am taking limited sessions. I’m not going to say the number…but it isn’t very high. If you were hoping to get in on a session with me in this time frame, please contact me. I already have some bookings, I have a few inquiries which very well could turn into bookings, and that leaves very few spaces I’m afraid. This is just to let everyone know. So, the days in my availability calendar are days I am available to take a session, but it does not mean that I am going to take a session on all of those days. And, I know there isn’t a whole lot of openings in December, but if you are having a baby and want newborn or maternity images, I’m willing to fit you in…so contact me anyways.

I’m partially slowing down for me as I have a few projects I want to work on that always seem to get put on the back burner and now seems like a good time to tackle them. I’ll share them all with you–promise. One of the things that I am doing is an online workshop. It’s got weekly assignments. I am not going to say what they are(I don’t want to bore you all with excessive photog talk), but I will share the images that come from my attempts at getting them completed. Yesterday, Alicia and I went out to complete one of the assignments. And, guess what? We found the most amazing chair just sitting there. So, we took it. That’s right. We took it. It was outside…in a park. I don’t think anyone will miss it. But, now we are going to give it the greatest life! We are each going to do sessions with the chair. It is really fabulous to look at the different images that come from the same thing being shot by two photographers. A fabulous learning experience. So, here are the ‘we found this cool thing’ images. And, some other ones…because I was doing homework.

The last image feels me with glee! Georgia is a unique child and it is fabulous that she has a little friend who puts up with her quirks. I also love the dress she is wearing and her Uggs. Geogia needs a pair. Thanks for helping me with my assignment  Should I post my assignment? The finished product? I might…maybe…we’ll see. later skaters.
