At lot has happened since last January, but I don't really feel the need to recap all of it. If you know me, you know what we've been through this year.
I'm hoping that 2011 is the best year we've had in a long time. It can't be any worse than 2009 or 2010, or at least I hope so. My life is taking a new direction, with some new businesses developing. My jewelry is really taking off - I did a ton of business for Christmas and finally did my first craft show in November. I also sold a ton of my photo-names for Christmas - I think it was 24 total, and I have another one to do this month. I've also been asked to take some family portraits and maternity photos for family and friends. I'm not advertising the photography thing, really...I'm doing it more or less for the practice and hoping that eventually I will be able to make some money doing something I love.
On New Year's Eve, I took family photos for our cousin Jen, and I'm really happy with the way they turned out. They were really informal and outdoors, which is exactly what she wanted.
These are some of my favorite photos from that day. They're such a cute family and their little guy has the bluest eyes! He was a little cranky, but we did what we could to keep him happy. Like I said, I'm just starting out, but I think these turned out pretty well, your constructive criticism is welcome, but please be nice. I'm hoping to do some maternity photos for my sister-in-law in the next month or so, but she hasn't given me an answer yet.I'm considering attempting to do a 365 project, but I haven't made my final decision. Maybe I'll start it in February, we'll see.
That's it for now! I'm off to shower and head to the store for a few essentials! Take care
