Today we were going to have our first real play date with little Miss Aly and Miss Olivia, but Madyson is feeling a little under the weather and we do not want to go spreading something around. She's not too bad as of right now she has a slight fever at 99.4 and a bit stuffy, but she is in really good spirits. Plus, I am making her sleep as much today as I can, one, so she'll rest and two, because she didn't sleep very well last night, poor thing.
As for me, I am sitting in front of the computer editing some photos and going over some website inclusions. For those of you that didn't know, my sister and I are looking to start a photography business. She is still in school and I am at home with the little one, so it's nothing too ambitious just yet. Just a creative outlet that I have been dying for since about 10 years now... just wasn't sure which path it would lead me to; marketing, interior design, staging, or advertising. To tell you the truth I had never thought about doing photography. In school I always loved the arts; watercolor, pastels, stippling, throwing clay or my favorite, as I later discovered, wood burning. Recently, and this is probably due to the new addition to our family, I have really fallen in love with taken photos. Playing with composition and the different settings of the camera and seeing what effect you come up with. On top of that, my mom got me photoshop and I am excited about the possibilities. This program is amazing. After dinner and Madyson is put to bed, this is what I look forward to, while Kevin is "killing people" on Call of Duty, I get to play with Adobe and I love it!
As for the business portion of our endeavor, it's a work in progress. The foundation is there, now we just need to tie all the loose ends to make sure we are doing things properly and Uncle Sam doesn't come after us (anymore than he will already anyhow).
I am just so excited to get this started I cannot stand it. I have already completed one photo shoot and it really was amazing. The shoot went great and we got some really good photos. To highlight, the photos were taken of a mother and child to be sent to the father while he is currently deployed with the Marines. Even better! I truly hope they brought a smile to his face.
Until my next one, I will be thinking up ideas, practicing with my camera and possibly signing up for some classes and putting some finishing touches on products and packages we will be offering. I am so excited you have no idea, but please keep checking back as I will keep you posted on where we are in the process and hopefully with a website link shortly! =D
