Yay for Spring!

The title says it all. Yay! After surviving two blizzards in the DC area, I’m definitely happy to see this warm weather. I can slip on my flip flops ..that’s a huge bonus, you have no idea. I have a love hate relationship with shoes…I like them, I love shopping for them, but I’d much rather slip on my flip flops. I know weird, right? And I’m talking Old Navy 5 dollar flip flops, nothing fancy. I digress..

So Spring, yes, the warm weather and flowers are a blooming! As some of you may know I’m residing in the sticks with my parents until the new condo is done in VA. My mom has flowers of all sorts planted around the yard and when I came home from grocery shopping there were all these butterflies on the lilac bush. So I ran inside and literally threw my groceries inside and grabbed my camera. (It’s a good thing I didn’t get eggs..)

Yes, I know, this isn’t a butterfly.

My dude in a polaroid transfer

In a couple weeks I’ll be visiting my dude in the much needed warm weather down south. It’ll be a nice birthday present and a happy reunion at the same time. I will say, I am nervous about flying this time. With all the weird stuff happening lately with airplanes really freaks me out. I’ll try to be brave though. It’s a much needed break and I hate this DC cold weather.

While he’s away for a year, our new condo is being built and we have a lot to look forward to next year and of course his return. Before he left, I had him model for me so I could play around with the light.. cough cough…(so I could have photos of him before he left) I also got this awesome polaroid transfer set from swiss miss design haus, a door prize I won at the basics workshop . So I decided to play around with them tonight. I have to figure out what to do with these, I’d hate to have them sit on my hard drive. Anyone have any ideas?

Looking forward

I know I don’t do a lot updating here so I thought now would be a good time with 2010 right around the corner. I’m looking forward to 2010. For one, my dude and I are building our first home and I’m totally excited about moving in and more importantly decorating. Secondly, I’m really excited about getting this photography business launched. I think I’m getting close to having a strong portfolio and can actually get things rolling. I have a bad habit of getting something in my head and diving head first, but I’m really trying to do as much research and portfolio building until the time is right.

After attending The Basics Workshop in San Diego, I got really inspired. Being around like minded women was really encouraging. I learned so much and would do it again in a heart beat. I mean San Diego…c’mon! :) Not to mention having that network of photographers is the support I need. Don’t get me wrong, I still love graphic design, but I miss the spontenuity of photography. Meeting new people everyday and getting to capture life as it happens.

So 2010, let’s get going. I’m ready to start some cleaning around here, and stamping my brand spankin new logo on my products and capturing life long memories for fabulous people!
