As many of you now know, my website is now up and active, and my Facebook page gets the lion's share of attention and updating, and after spending the morning with the delightful State of Wisconsin's Business Registration system, I'm bordering on being completely and utterly official!
I'm so happy with the website, thanks to all those who gave me great feedback on putting it together. I still need to piece some things and polish them, but it up...it was like an Amish Barn-raising. It may not be the hearts and flowers that other photographer's websites are with bouncy country music, but it is what I was shooting for..simple, sophisticated and elegant.
Thanks to everyone who has supported me through this process. I can now sit back and relax a little bit! The beauty of starting this business is that it can chug along on it's own, and I feel no pressure whatsoever now. I want to let it evolve in it's own time, and can hopefully avoid the stress of relying on it to let me live my life; with that approach, I can concentrate solely on it being what it is meant to be: about the photography & the images.
Amongst all of the terribly dull aspects of the launch, I have had time for more shoots. I find myself finding that shot every time I run a session now. That Shot is the one that makes me think I want to print it...like 5ft by 4ft and frame it over my bed I love it so much! It's a good feeling to have that so often. My recent one was this delicious shot:
Most of the streamlining for presenting the work is done now. After a fight with Facebook over the movie slideshows, I moved to hosting with Vimeo, who have been great. One of my favourite features of my product is putting those slideshows together. Here's the latest one from a shoot with a co-worker Angie:

OK, thanks for reading. I'm looking forward to a nice weekend getting ready for Christmas, and I'll talk to you all sooner than you'd probably hope!
