Excitement!

I'm starting to get really excited for this wedding season to start. March11th, I'm heading up to Detroit for a seminar with Jerry Ghionis, one of the 10 wedding photographers in the world. It's called "How to be a Complete Wedding Photographer of the 21st Century." Since I really like the high fashion styles that you see in Vogue or other fashion magazines, I'm really excited about hearing his tips on making his subjects look glamorous, yet natural.

Our new lens is finally here. After having a lot of fuss with the vendor, we finally got our lens. YAY! It's a 24-70mm f2.8. I am so excited. This baby is HUGE! It's not as heavy as I thought, but it's heavier than what I'm used to.

We now have 3 weddings for this year. We are waiting on the deposit for the 4th and waiting to hear back from what sounding like a very promising bride. I'm so excited. Chris and I didn't think we would be where we are today. When I started my business in 2005, I wasn't as serious about it as I am now. It took a lot of pushing from Chris and a few friends (okay, just one) to push me in the right direction. For our first year, we are booking our calendar rather quickly. I am thrilled that we decided to have me stay home with Bryce and work Full Time on the business. I have been able to be there for milestones in Bryce's life and I'm able to be working on the business. I used to get ideas while I was working, but by the time I got home, I didn't have the chance to sit down and work on those ideas, or expand those ideas and now I can work on them until I turn blue in the face if I wanted to.
