This morning on my way to work I decided to listen to a podcast instead of my loud, blaring music. Which mind you, I leave my place at 445 A.M, so what a huge task for me to listen to a podcast that early! But it's weird, I am perfectly fine with the ride in to work but later in the afternoon on the way home, I have to slap myself to stay awake!
So yeah...I was in my car listening to a Jasmine Star interview on the lens flare 35 podcast, and it was amazing. Just hearing what all she had to say blew my mind. She talked about pouring herself to the world, which by the way, scary thing to do, on the web. It's been the main source of her business actually, the blog and I hope to do the same.
I know I always complain about not knowing how to reel people in to read this blog, but maybe I'm worrying about that to much. I should just blog about me and my photographs of course and just let it flow.
Maybe.

Today was a day of work, cleaning and editing photos. And I am dead tired as I type this, but I am glad I did! Blogging is so essential.

So world...some facts you need to know about me? Random, aimless, useless info?
I will tell everything under the sun tomorrow so stayed tuned...because this is a radio show, turn up your speakers; please?? :-)

Last Sunday I took out the drummer from Matt's band out for some photos. We found some great new locations that I am thrilled to try out! The good news is spring is in full gear soon so no more dead trees and no color anymore, yay! I'm excited for the spring and the business for that matter. I can't wait to kick things into full gear.
Here are the favorites from the day

Lyndsay

The day wasn't as cold as I thought it was going to be because thank goodness it is February which is insanely cold. I asked my old friend Lyndsay if she wanted to pose for some pictures for me and of course she said yes! I love taking photos of her, she loves posing and smiling and is just a great subject all around here's a few favorites from the day, to see the complete slideshow go to,



Aren't her heels gorgeous? I wish I could wear heels more often..maybe I have to train my feet to wear them.
















Happy Tuesday!!!

There's something in the air. I can feel it. Not so much the cold and windy air I've been feeling for the past three months. It feels as winter will never feel. Anyway, I feel something,you know, in the air. It's hope. It seems I am getting more insanely obsessed with my career than ever.
It's going to happen and soon. I just feel it. I'm pouring in everything I have for this year. Strive harder than I ever have because it will work. Someone told me today that they were 'Just chasing a dream.' Without thinking my immediate response was, 'Dreams can become reality.'

And that is exactly how I feel. I dream about my career. So much so I know I can accomplish it. It is tangible, all I need to do it put my blood and sweat. Ok I don't know why I said blood and sweat but whenever I read books they are always saying that to emphasis how much hard work someone puts into something.
I'm sure I will put my blood and sweat into though, ha.
This year I will be facing a series of colossal mountains.
I will climb my way up them all.
Because in the end the reward is a dream I've been 'chasing' for years.
My future.



And because all posts are better with a photo, here is a complete and utter random photo of my perfume. It looks nice, so there you go!

Three weddings!

SO huge news!

As of Today I have three weddings booked for this summer
One in March and two in June.
I am stoked!!!
Three weddings!
I am just so excited things are looking up for me!

Woes

So...........

I went to my first Fundamentals of Design class on Tuesday.
Guys..this class is dreaded be everyone and when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE! I have known people to quit TCC due to this class. Ugh, I was fine up until the teacher said expect to have 6-10 hours a week worth of homework to do. Boy oh boy I can't wait. I just hope juggling work, this class and Eng 112 and photography will work for me this year.

I can do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.

Maybe if I type it enough, it will eventually come true, right?

Here's to hoping college will be over for me one day, one day soon!

2010...hoping for something!!

Well dear readers...if any I am making one of my new year resolutions to blog more. Just just an update frequently..I am talking about blogging fever. Even though my subject will be photography, I am sure everyone will love my life outside of it, even if it is not that grand.

I am beginning a new semester of school today. I wish I could just be a full time student and not worry about working and etc...but alas maybe it will happen some day. I can only go to school half time but I still enjoy it none the less. I am taking English 112 and Fundamentals of Design.

I hope to be amazing in these classes and recieve A's. I will keep you posted.

As for photography I have two booked clients so far. For the first time ever!, someone found me through a wedding photo website and I am ecstatic about it! Her wedding is in March. I feel the more I put myself out there the more clients I will receive.


In my Eng 112 online class our first assignment was to post something about ourselves, after reading various students I read someone who was getting married in September, so naturally I shot her an email and suggested she check out my work.

I'm still waiting for an email back

Here's to hoping to one more gig!
