I am happy to say that I am booking away! Child sessions, family sessions, maternity sessions, and weddings! Things are going great and I still can't believe how busy I've been considering it's January. I have a Saturday coming up where I've got 4 back to back sessions booked at the studio! That's practically like one of my all days shoots without even planning it that way. I've got some other fun and exciting things coming up...
I finished my shopping extravaganza today. My boys and I are set for outfits for our family shoot on Sunday. I also got some cute bedding for my pajama test shoot that I'm going to do with my boys this week. I can't tell you how much I love to shop. I only wish that I could do it more often and that I had a never ending supply of funds!
Pre-announcing the 3rd annual Easter bunny shoot! I am going to attempt to host another all day bunny shoot this March. I think that it will work out fabulously this year now that I have a studio. Last year we got rained out at Como Park. We managed to get a couple of sessions in before it got really miserable out. For you new OWP clients- I host an all day shoot with live tame rabbits!
2 years ago at a friend's studio:
I am planning my first portfolio test shoot. My assistant and I are in the process of planning an urban bridal shoot this Spring. We've found some models and are working on finding dresses and awesome locations to do the shoot. If we can find the right dress, we may end up doing a trash the dress session. Why? What photographer wouldn't love to be in complete control of a shoot and be able to use the fabulous images in their portfolio?
I have some amazing weddings booked! I am so excited to work with my new brides who also share my passion and enthusiasm for photography. I love how I tend to draw in very artsy brides because I really feel that they appreciate my eye and can see the difference between my work and others. I am just truly honored when someone chooses me to capture their wedding day.
Olivia's Creations. Stay tuned for a special post showcasing of my first business venture. I feel like I was always a businesswoman at heart. Even at a very young age, I remember having a lemonade stand and making rings and jewelry that I thought I could sell. Right before I got into photography, I was hand painting custom made children's picture frames. I mostly made them to give away as gifts, but actually did a craft show and sold them in a downtown Minneapolis boutique. A lot of work went into them and unfortunately, things didn't take off like I had hoped. I recently gave away a frame to one of my photo girls as a gift and it just got me thinking about it all again when I saw how appreciative she was of it. I'm going to take photos of my remaining frames and show you what I used to do!
That's it for now... I try to give myself a curfew, especially on a school night but I always end up staying up 2 hours too late!
