| FINALLY- Update & NEW PHOTOS! |
So I am really far behind on blogging. I have tried (and been pretty good) keeping up. But alas, here I am.
What's new- Makena is gone for 2 whole weeks! She is boating with my parents until the end of the week. Then we will meet up in Hood Canal for the weekend (all of us). Then another week with my parents and going to Vacation Bible School by my parent's house. WOW! Two whole weeks! The house seems quiet. And good timing because I'm swamped at work and plan on working 10 hour shifts M-Th this week. AND I need to fit in a work-out at the gym as well. EVERYDAY is the goal. Aside from that- this weekend was useless. (almost) I was out so- late on Friday night it affected my entire weekend. I went out Friday night w/ Tiffany, PJ, my brother and PJ's friend. I didn't get home until a quarter to 3 (yes AM!) It was a LATE night/morning. I had to work at 10am photo shoot. I set the alarm clock for 8:45. Plenty of time to clear off my memory card, take a shower etc... .. So at 3am I am coming in and Gus-Gus (the cat) is whining to see me because he's been home ALL day and night without anyone. Okay- guilt for the cat sets in and I don't put him in his own bedroom (the office/guest room) where we normally put him (because he whines in the middle of the night- he's quite talkative). So around 5am Gus-Gus is whining and wakes me up. I had a hard enough time going to sleep- he wasn't helpful by waking me up after barely 1.5-2hours of sleep. I put him away. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 6:30. WTH? I can't sleep. My head is turning w/ photographic ideas for the shoot. DAMN! Okay- so then take a shower. Start surfing the net. Surfing photography forums. KEEP ON TRACK MARY! Eat something- I'm dehydrated from my late night and feeling like I haven't felt in a long time. I'm beginning to feel 30 (GREAT! - can you sense the sarcasm?) I don't even remember feeling like this when I was younger. Soooo- I leave at 9:15, giving myself 45 minutes with bag in hand ready to shoot engagement photos trying to look awake as possible. Luckily, once I got out of the house and on my way I was pumped up. I still always get nervous before shoots. Regardless of how long I've been taking photos (off and on for 8 or 9 years). I take my work so personally I think it's fairly normal. Anyways... so this is a really- really great shoot. Mandy & Joey have hired me for their wedding and we were shooting their engagement photos. They come from a referral and were a wonderful couple to photograph. They took direction really well, they were so natural and are clearly so in love. I'm not surprised at how great their photos were. Not on my behalf, but when you have two people who care so much about each other that really comes across in their photos. Feel free to take a look at their photos: marykaiphotography.com They are filed in Mandy & Joey.
Okay- well that is it for now. Super swamped so I have to run.
LATER!! xo- M |
