I guess time does fly when you are having fun!
Last Tuesday has come and gone already? If I didn’t have a calendar telling me so, I wouldn’t believe it. Since my last update, I must confess…it’s not been all fun and smiles. A few days found me a bit under the weather with a head cold, but the weekend sunshine and fun shoots on my agenda had me feeling rejuvenated and back to business as usual.
Congratulations on your achievement Anthem College graduates and best of luck in your future endeavors! Watch for my post of photos from this event later this week.
Saturday’s sunshine took me to Old Towne St. Charles for an engagement session. Sarah and Nick came along with their two pups and a little colder air than we anticipated. Despite the chill, the sunshine offered a beautiful day for this sweet couple. I am really excited about some of the shots I captured with this family (furry kids included) in the making. I am looking forward to shooting Nick and Sarah’s big event at Herman Hill in late September.
Sunday took me back to my first love, DANCE! What fun I had capturing my granddaughter’s in action at Dance Connection Performing Arts Center’s annual Competition Team Extravaganza held at Francis Howell Central High School. It is certainly a joy to still have a personal connection with dance through my granddaughters and the studio. Check out my Facebook page for more pictures of Madeline and Olivia’s dance Extravaganza.
Yesterday afforded me the opportunity to get out and LEARN!! I promised myself early on that when I find myself blessed with moments of downtime, I would try my best to spend it learning from fellow photographers. The Illinois Chapter of the Professional Photographers Association hosted a workshop yesterday and I spent my time in a senior portrait photography workshop with Teri Quance from Quance Design housed in Houston, Texas. During the workshop, Teri really challenged us photographers to reflect on our vision, passion and what’s important to us in our personal business. She was so inspirational!! I can’t wait to implement some of her very cool ideas into my promotional products for senior business.
