Working hard, or hardly working...

So I really have been busy lately. Crazy busy. No time to eat, think, or breathe, crazy. But it's been a good busy. I have a modeling client that I am just finishing up photos for. I really am hoping she (and her parents) like my work. They were so excited just when I was doing the shoot, saying how cool it would be if she became famous and I could be her photographer, the one who "made" her. How sweet would that be?

Then, I have a client waiting in the wings wanting a large, panoramic print of her entire family... and when I say large, I mean like four or five feet wide. YIKES! But she is my first referral... yes, I have been officially referred by a former customer. How freakin cool is that?!? Anyway, it just made me feel good. I am nervous about taking on the job, but I have been playing with photoshop, stitching pictures together to practice so I can actually make a print as big as she wants. I am thinking though, I am going to make my max at about 40-48 inches wide.

Then, I also have a part time, seasonal job working with Kiddie Kandids. I was actually supposed to work tonight, but they called while I was getting ready and let me know they were dead tonight and wouldn't need me to come in. (Thus, the reason I am actually able to update my blog tonight)

Alyse, you would be so proud of me... I finally mailed in my unit one photography project for my long distance education through the New York Institute of Photography (NYIP). While I know what I turned in wasn't my best work, I am still happy to be done with the first Unit. I say it wasn't my best work, because I suddenly became so busy that I wasn't motivated enough to go out and redo my photos, even though I now know a LOT more about my camera than I did when I took the photos I turned in :(

So, while I haven't been getting much done around the house, I have really been taking off with both my photography experience, and my photography business. I think now I just have to find some balance between being a working mom and a stay at home mom.

With all these pictures floating around on my computer, I promise to share some as soon as I finish up with my clients. How fair would it be if you saw the pictures first? Sorry, but I'm determined to behave this time. And I also promise, the Easter pictures are waiting in the wings... as are some fun pics I took in the rain yesterday. And with that, I will leave you wanting more...
