Happy New Year Guys!

Well, seeing it as though that I live in Minnesota it’s very hard to shoot outside in the winter months at least comfortably.  So, I just feel like sharing some photos I took in my studio on Tuesday.  I had 4 girls come in and we just had a model shoot.  They wanted photos to update their modeling portfolio and I’ve gotten to know them pretty well over the last year so I told them to come on in.

It’s funny, how all of these girls, I tried recruiting as senior models but all 4 of them went somewhere else.  I used to take it pretty hard when people said no but you just have to keep pushing on.  They are all very nice girls and I’ve gotten to know them better thru facebook etc.  I don’t treat my seniors like just customers.  I treat them like they are my own personal friends.  Anyway, I can’t believe I admitted that all 4 of them turned me down but it’s funny how they like me now.  lol  Keep on pushing on!  One of the girls, gave be a whole bunch of 2011 names of girls in this school that I love.  Sometimes, doing things like this will get you further.

Also, one of my past seniors, is home on break and I bought her lunch yesterday and we just hung out for a while.  It was so nice to catch up with her and hear about the boys at college and how she’s been doing.  I absolutely love my seniors.  My goal this year is to have obviously even more seniors but to personalize it even more.  I’ve never been good at organizing etc and staying on top of things but my goal for 2010 is to do such that and to give my clients little gifts or when they are in my ordering session they say that they love a photo but their budget won’t allow it, I will throw it in there and just give it to them.  It feels so good to give like that!

Anyway, I will stop chatting!

The first two girls are identical twins, just in case you were wondering. lol

Update on Weight Loss:  I am FINALLY off the plateau!  I’m now down 24 pounds.  Since, my husband got a new job and he’s traveling 4 nights out of the week, on the nights that I’m not working, I wanted something to do and also to have my daughter play and get a break from me.  lol  anyway, I signed up at a gym.  I signed up 3 weeks ago and finally last night I went.  I was so nervous to go. But, I went and I had a great time.  Just did a 2nd work out last night and going to go again tonight.  Hopefully, it will start coming off faster now!

Don’t give up if you are trying to lose weight!  Don’t give up!  I took a break because of Christmas.  My MOM sent us home with tons of chocolate and knowing me I can’t have any in my home.  I was upset and told her not to give us anymore junk food!  I just can’t be trusted b/c I know my weakness!  lol

Hope you are all having a great start to a new year!
