Business Fair

Here is my lastest post from an event that I did on Nov. 10 It was a business fair and I was able to showcase some of my work and meet people. I also was able to network so maybe something good would come from that. Anita Jefferson is one of the vendor that I meet there. She is a wedding planner and event consultant. Hopefully in the future we can work together.

Photo Session w/ Laura

Today I did a photo session with Laura my co-workers daugther. She did not like her photos from school so I decided to give a free photo session. Maybe if she likes these photos she will share them with her friends and I can get some photo session out of it.

Here are some of my fav's:

Meeting Paul Rogers

Last night I attended these senimar and it was wonderful. The guest speaker was Paul Rogers and he was the nicest man I meet in a long time. The seminar named "Illustrating Love" was about wedding photography and how to market yourself. It was fun he gave great advice for the real world. He was not on his soapbox and a true gentleman. It was a pleasure meeting him.

Tryin to run a business

i have been so busy trying to run a business and two of them ato that. The photography is something that I have been at for some time now and it doesn't seem to be working out for me. It is hard trying to find clients that want to pay for my service. so I got involve with a direct selling business selling sterling siver jewelry. I really like that alot and I need to work that a little more and get more customers for that. It is really hard to try to do everything on my own and take care of all the bills, but I'm doing the best I can.

Crazy busy!

I have been so busy that I made a promise to myself to keep up with my blog here. Well i have been so busy that I can't even stay up past 10pm some nights. My daugther has turned 14 and she is driving me crazy with all her hormonal attitude. I was very busy with trying to find myself another job, place to live, making extra money, pay off some bills. I did work for mother's day and made an extra $600 bucks which was cool. I had a photo shoot at my church and it went better than I expected. I will post some my favorite images later.
