Facebook stole my blog

I've lost my motivation to blog because I put daily thoughts up on Facebook now. I'm keeping the blog. you never know. but become my facebook freind, and we can keep in touch.

The new look

I decided to make this a more encompassing blog hoping to reinergize my photography, and seem a little less self absorbed on facebook.

Prices will not go up!

I've decided not to raise my prices for the 2nd year in a row. I am real happy with the type of Bride that hires me. I seem to get the young professional types that work for a living, and appreciate their vendors, and friends for that matter. These are the type of people I like to work for, and hang out with. I would rather shoot 3 fun weddings for $1200 than one silver spoon high end wedding where the bride doesn't appreciate what she has for $4000. I know I'm at that point in my career where my work can compare to some of the best in the midwest. I could raise my prices, but I'm having fun. That's worth a lot to me.

Calamus lake

We went to the lake last weekend. Lake Calamus is the most amazing white sand beach you will ever find not on the coast. Great time.

Travel Fees

Saturday I had my second wedding in a row in Lincoln. Leslie, and Ryan got married, and it was outstanding. The church was beautiful, the couple was beautiful, the park was beautiful, and the reception had great food, and music. Leslie, and Ryan have to be two of the easiest people to get along with ever. I doubt they will ever have an enemy. Leslie was breathtaking. I knew she would be the day I met her. While I was at the reception I was talking to the DJ, and Videographer, and they were talking about how gas prices effect their bottom line. I have to admit the thought doesn't even cross my mind. I keep driving my paid for 1990s Nissan with 150k miles and not even think about gas prices. I am shooting a wedding in Valentine Nebraska in a couple of weeks, and I have no fears about gas prices. My prices will not go up next year due to gas prices, however I may need to retire my old Nissan. I'll buy another old reliable car, and pay cash so I don't have to worry about the price of gas.


Congratulations Ryan, and Leslie! Ryan is a lucky guy.

Sundays

For 8 of the past 10 years I have tried to dedicate my Sundays to God, and my family. In the last 2 years I started shooting a few Sunday engagement sessions, and family sessions. I've decided I need to go back to my old routine. I will not be working on Sundays, and I will limit my Sunday Shopping, and spending to allow others to have work free Sunday's.

The hardest part of the race is the first step

I forgot the first day! I have to train myself to write every day I guess. No problem. Just small daily thoughts, and a picture.

Todays thought/question:


Does it feel natural to be running around all the time working, etc.....? I have been so busy lately, and I'm worried it will do some kind of un natural harm to my kids. I'm praying about it. The good thing is I love my work. It feel more like play most days.


The title of this picture is: BBBbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
