there are monkeys in my pants and llamas in my brain-i think i have hit my limit

i have so much going in the next couple of months its crazy. first on the plate-photography. its coming along well (i suppose). i am doing a bridal show in april where i get my own table, so i have a lot of stuff i need to get ready for that. i redid my website, made it a bit more funky and fun. my demographic is young brides, who are looking for affordable photography. im not here to get rich, im here to shoot weddings because i am a freaking wedding junkie lol. you can look at the revamped version of my site here honestly, my goal for the this summer is to shoot at least 3 weddings. My goal last year was to shoot two weddings and I made it! My goals may seem low, but I'm not doing this full time, so for me this is very reasonable. like I said, i'm not expecting to get crazy rich. oh! im getting a new camera soon. Nikon d300s smile

in other news ive been crafting alot. my new obsession is the 1920's so i have been making lots of feathered hair fascinators, and they have been receiving lots of comments smile that makes me happy.

two important and awesome trips are coming up. my trip to Arizona for the big Ren Fair, and I am absolutely stoked. I can finally fit in to my cropped bodice that my husband brought me about 5 years ago! And in May we are doing the Steampunk faire (hopefully)

Weightloss has been going good. I have lost 65 pounds since surgery, and I think I am slowing down. Which is not a bad thing. I will continue losing weight as long as I continue to eat healthy and exercise.

rant ahead about crazy bitches

but back to the photography thing. i was kinda spazzing out because essentially i have been trying to get this off the ground for over a year now. and just when i do, my husbands friends wife (who is a wedding photog and has allowed me 2nd shoot with her) calls here SCREAMING about how i shouldnt have my own website and i shouldnt charge people. her reasoning, my equipment is not expensive enough. thats what she said! and that i dont have people experience. um...every job I have ever had involves people. organizing people, dealing with people, customer service etc etc. i have a way of talking and people actually LISTEN to me. like i was really upset that she had the nerve to flip out like that. its not like im taking clients directly from her. she does this for a living, good for her! i know that for me i cannot work full time anymore, which is why this is part time. but that doesnt mean my time and skills should not be paid for. i swear i wanted to kick her in the head. but my husband assured me that i can do this. my husband is a very cynical and brutally honest man. so when he told me that i can do this and that he believes in me, i believe him. his reasoning..."you have incredible talent, and you are a hustler by nature, you are going to make this happen" lol. i love him



other than that-hope everyone is awesome! i am going to need all of your good vibes coming my way!!!

I had never seen your photography work before and I hate to sound surprised, but I really loved what I saw! My surprise only comes from so many people attempting photography and not being good at it, that's all.

It's nice to see that you are doing well biggrin
