17/52 - Yet another client shot. I had too many shoots in April. This session was SO HARD, and this is one of the few I liked from it.

16/52 - Another client shot. I freaking ADORE this shot, but it was a total accident. I got so lucky, and it too, is going big on the wall of the new studio.

15/52 - Client shot. This one’s going big on the wall in the new studio. LOVED these girls and I just adore those dresses.

A conversation today, talking about grammar.

John: Hey baby, you have a great butt! *pinch*

Me: Is tha an observation or a punctuation?

John: I could punctuate you later.. *wink*

Me: *cramps* Er.. not today, you can’t.

John: Yeah, if I tried to punctuate you, I’d get punctured.

Me: Is that an exclamation mark in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

I’m sitting here with a huge plate of mom’s pasta recipe in front of me. I have the windows open and I can smell the cool, green wind and hear the birds chirping as the sun goes down. I saw the first hummingbird of the year at my feeders a few days ago (a boy) and my first girl one today. The Stump is snoring a bit in her sleep behind me and I’m all caught up on work.

I live for days like this.

I just got my print copy of the Accent Gwinett magazine that the article about Mere was printed in. I managed to hold it together reading it the first time on the web, but seeing it in print and remembering the day I took the pictures day made me lose it and I sobbed all the way back from my mailbox. I miss her, but what an amazing article Tracy Ray wrote.

I’ve got a crush…

On Christine’s babies.

Anyone who ever though being a pro photographer was easy is so wrong, but anyone who thought running a business for real is easy is even ore wrong.

I just got off the phone with my accountant (that sounds to official, doesn’t it?). I owe him $250 for doing my junk for me. I owe federal $2150 and state and ther $250 for taxes. ::cry::

14/52 - Spring is here, but no hummingbirds yet…

I’ve been SOO busy. Not really doing many shoots this week, but just working on changing everything over. I haven’t been able to say so ahead of time, but a local photographer and I are teaming up permanently. Frankie of Stylized Portraiture and I are now full partners (in crime)! We’ve been working on this for months, but I couldn’t hint too much in case the other local photographers watch my stuff. So, I’m now 1/2 of Stylized Portraiture. Frankie is taking the appointment bookings now, and she will match the client to the photographer based on what they want. I’ll be doing on-location, babies, children and fairytales. She’ll be doing studio shoots, weddings, seniors and urban.  In fact, we just got our first call today with the new system! The client wanted an outdoor baby shoot, so it went to me. Pretty cool! I don’t have squat to do for the first 2 weeks of April though, so I’ve got to get my butt in gear.
