Spring brings new beginnings!

So I thought that mother nature was bringing spring in the picture and then she must have got pissed off or something cause there was a complete ice storm last night and my poor old dog, Sabbath, slipped down our deck steps going to the bathroom. Damn you mother nature! Make up your mind!

Meanwhile my stupid keybord keeps messing up, everytime I am typing something the keys are not working and I have to go back and fix everything I type. Grrrr!

Onthe brightside, my friend Shawn came over and had some software I despirately need for my computer and downloaded them for me and he even says he can speed it up for me too! I think he's my new hero!!!! He says he needs my computer for 3-4 days though, uggg! Can I really go that long without it? That's sad that I need to ask myself that question, isnt it.

The photography is going good, I have many potential clients and the pictures are getting better with each shoot! I have had several of my friends come through for me and volunteering their bodies to shoot! Here are a few.

I am really enjoying the photography work I am doing. It is very rewarding and to have someone else really enjoy the product in the end is soooo worth it! I have even been asked to do a wedding in the summer!  I still have yet to do an infant, but I am trying to find a newborn to do.
I also have been busy trying to become a substitute teacher! I got some info from a friend of mine and did all the paperwork to do so and now just waiting to get into the system. And another friend of mine got me a part time job working at Gymboree, a children's clothing store, at the mall. I don't start until next week though.
So, needless to say this month has been extremely busy! I am hoping by next month to have everything more strategicly more organized and building up a steady income for myself.
Oh yeah! I am also planning my 3rd annual 'Girls Nite In' Party! April 9th! I am sooo excited I have alot more vendors this year! I hope more people come and enjoy it and I am geeked its an official yearly event!

New career goals from old hobby....

So, since I have been unemployed and home with Evan for quite sometime now and no prospectable employement is on the rise. Evan though I have applied to over 50 places since thanksgiving 2010!

I have decided to try to make my hobby a career, thanks to some inspiring friends! So with the help of my wonderful Husband and dear Father purchasing me a new camera for my birthday, the help from my reliable Mother for props, and some true friends as mentors and models.....I think I can get my portfolio full and start taking on prospectable clients!

I have my first photo shoot with a long-time friend and her beautiful daughter today!
Wish me Luck! I can't wait to post the here and on facebook!

Ready for Spring!

Yes! I may be ready for spring, but you think Michigan is?

No, mother nature in our state is quites the procastinator.

So to catch you up to date again.....

My dad has moved to Florida and is enjoying living in a retirement community, where he is the youngest! Maria and himself just resently got back from a business trip to South Africa where Maria worked for 6 weeks and they enjoyed excursions after hours. They went on several safari type rides and hikes. He sent several good pictures back to me.

This is his view from his daily bike ride to the beach. Life is rough isn't it! HA HA
I think I get my photography sense from him.
