30 days of me- Day 19

Day 19 - a talent of yours

I have tried to think of a talent of mine and even asked some of my friends to help me out..A couple of them said that multi-tasking was one of my biggest talents..mainly because I went to college while, pregnant, during a deployment, taking care of 2 other kids, also while having a newborn, and still managed to keep an A average. I don't know if I consider that a talent so much though..lol..

I do think I have a talent for designing baskets.. I have decorated a few for friends for their baby showers.. I really love doing it for them because I feel they are more personal.. I don't have any pictures right now of the first two that I made.. but here are 4 others that I have made.. The first one is my favorite.








There is also my photography.. and I like to think that I have a talent for that.. I love to work with people, making them see themselves in a picture and say Oh my gosh that is beautiful, that is the moment I love most! This is one of my most recent shoots..



I guess I just love to make people happy..lol.. Cause it seems everything that I have a "talent" for is something that does good for someone else.. I do like seeing people smile..:)

Photography

So, I have been thinking about my photography business for awhile. I have decided that I am going to stop renewing my www.hughensphotography.com website. I feel that I get more traffic on my fb page anyway. So once my time is up with ixweb, I am going to just shut it down.

Also, I have come to the conclusion that offering more specialized photography may be helpful for my business. So, for now I am just going to offer glamour, boudoir, and pinup shoots. I can do others if necessary but these will be my specialty. Which makes sense because I started out with glamour and models anyway.

I of course will still be subjecting my children to photo shoots, much to their dismay..lol..

I am not sure if I will be offering anything while I am in WA, since I will not have my studio up there and it really rains too much to do outdoor shoots very often. We shall see..

Anyways, that is my update.. I just figure I am wasting money on that particular website when it is really unnecessary.. no one actually reads it anyway.. I have a price list up but they still always ask me what my prices up.. even after I point them to the site. Go figure.

Pinup Shoot 8/19/10

Yesterday was the pinup shoot, I ended up with 6 girls here, it was a lot of fun and we got some good pictures.. The whole shoot took about 7 1/2 hours. Today, I am EXHAUSTED! I feel like I am catching a cold now but I think that is because I was allergic (nasal allergies) to the hair spray. Once my allergies start, it is really easy to catch a cold. So anyways, had lots of fun, got lots of pictures, and without further ado.. here are a few of them. I took over 800 pictures.. so this is only a very small sampling..lol















And finally, all the ladies together.. :)



I am hoping to do another of these parties in the future. It was very enjoyable for everyone involved. :)

Pinup Shoot!

Today is the day! I am hosting a pinup shoot for a bunch of girls! There should be at least 5 or 6 coming out today to do the shoot.. I am looking forward to it.. I think Hair and makeup will be our biggest challenge.. but it should be fun! I will be posting some of my favorite pictures from the shoot very soon! Yay!

Hmmm... Pictures?

I am thinking that after I finish up with the 30 days of me.. I will do 30 days of pictures.. like a picture a day for 30 days.. I would do 365 days but I am not sure I could keep up with that.. I may be taking most of the pictures on my small camera but I still think it will be fun.. Especially since I love taking pictures.. So that is the plan, finish 30 days of Me and go on to 30 days of pictures.. :)
