June was an insane month for me. I was so crazy busy! I took on more photo sessions than I should have. And on top of that, we renovated our condo! This past weekend I spent hours editing photo sessions and getting myself caught up. I am not where I want to be, so Monday [...]
I have nothing really new or exciting going on, but I thought I would check in and say HELLO! And maybe update you on the randomness in my life. When I haven’t been sitting in front of my computer editing photos, I have been out taking more photos. And then trying to cook dinner, pack [...]
Sitting here looking at my calendar and seeing all the summer photo sessions coming up made me really happy. And it makes me feel extremely blessed. In February when I decided to seriously pursue this dream as a photographer I never ever expected it to go as well as it is – this quickly! I [...]
Melissa (my real name) means Honeybee. So H also loves to call me Bee. And I have been a busy bee! I used to go tanning when I was in high school. Don’t give me that look – it was the cool thing to do back then. A bunch of my girlfriends and I went [...]
After creating a brand for my photography business and launching my website, I needed to order business cards and stickers. I priced out various local companies, but they were pretty expensive. Definitely more than I was willing to pay. I decided to go with an online company. I found Vistaprint, probably through one of their [...]
What a weekend. We didn’t really do anything! Saturday we caught up on some sleep, which seems to be something we do every Saturday. Getting up at 3am every day is rough, I don’t recommend it. I ordered some business cards and labels. I found an awesome company where I can order flush-mounted wedding albums [...]
I picked up a new lens for my camera last night – the 35mm 1.8! See, look! Helloooooo beautiful! I paid $312.00 for it. It’s a decision H and I have been talking about for the last week. I was trying to decide between the 50mm and the 35mm. At the end of the day, [...]
So far, this week has been great. I booked reservations for our reception dinner. I am picking up my wedding band tomorrow. (AHHH!!!!) H’s passport arrived in the mail – so now I don’t have to go on the cruise without him! Hehe. I did a photo shoot on Tuesday with 2 sisters, 17 and [...]
I cannot believe I haven’t posted about the Olympics yet! It is such an honour to be living in the province that is hosting this years winter games!! And I am so sad that we do not have cable. We are really kicking ourselves and wish that we had ordered it before hand. We spent [...]
On Monday I was feeling so scattered, thankfully I am feeling much better now, and I even accomplished everything on my to-do list. I have launched my photography website. It ended up costing me $215 – but it looks much more professional than just using a blog. I also made a Facebook page, so hopefully [...]
