Following your path

Hi Everyone!

I believe we all have a path to follow in life. We just have to figure out what path we need to follow and if it is the right path. I have found if you follow your heart listen to your gut instinct and if it feels real good. Then you are on your way. I believe I have chosen the right career choice for me. Or should I say choices, why limit yourself. I have been running my own photography business for the past 3 years and every year it gets better. Now I am venturing into the cookie business. Photography being my main job and the cookies as a part time job. I love doing both and I will do both. What I love about doing what I love is that I have total control over everything. So soon there will be a new cookie business in Maine. I have the utmost confidence that both businesses will do well. With hard work and perseverance and a positive attitude all will prevail. Do what you love and love what you do.

Enjoy your day!

Time for a break

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't been in touch, it has been a very busy time for me. With my shows and getting prepared between shows it has been exhausting. This is my first day off in about 3 weeks. Yeah! I like keeping busy, but today I just hung out and did a little of this and a little of that. I did manage to get some photographing done yesterday morning. My lilies and poppies are looking fabulous! Having a hard time keeping up with my business class, I kinda fell behind the past few weeks, so I will spend the next week trying to catch up. Tomorrow I will get back to work catch up on the things that I fell behind on and stock supplies for my next show, and weed my garden and mow the lawn. Next big show isn't til the 1st of August. So it gives me alittle time to catch up.

The weather here has been kinda lousy, but during my shows the weather seems to improve. Thanks God.

Chow for now

Have a great day everyone!

I'm done with the gloomy days!

Hi all,

For the past week and a half it has been rainy, cloudy and gloomy. We have had only 1 afternoon of sunshine. The week ahead doesn't look any better. Maybe next weekend we will get some sunshine. So if you have sunshine please enjoy it and some for me too. In the mean time I will cheer myself up with my sunflower (below) and my blanketflower (above).

Last weeks market show was a large crowd and I did better and lots of good promotion was done and even possible be backs for next weeks show.

I have also been busy working on a new business venture which I hope will be ready for business in May of 2012. Really not a long time to plan a business, but I am eager to get it going. Right now I am working out the details to see if in fact I can handle such a large task. I'm working out a sample work schedule just to give myself and idea of what I can expect. Lots and lots of details to iron out. Oh what is the business venture? Well I don't want to say too much I'm a little superstitious, but it has to do with my baking and other hobbies I enjoy. My goal is to love going to work everyday without over stressing about it.

Have great day everyone!

Making social connections

Good Morning Everyone,

Well it's still rainy outside so I have had the chance to try to figure out how to get my social connections here and on Facebook. I'm slowly but surely getting there. I am determined to get my photography out there for everyone to view and of course purchase. I truly love my career as a photographer and I work long hours not just photographing but trying to figure out how to network and market my photographs. I want and will succeed as a photographer and IF I fail (and I won't!) it wouldn't be from lack of trying. I will continue to master my photography and master the business side of photography too. Perseverance, Persistence and a Positive attitude will get me to the top of my game! So for all of you who are trying to succeed in what you love and are running into a couple of walls don't give up. Keep on trying! If you want it to happen it will!

Have a wonderful day!

Everything is Bloomin!

Hi All

My peonies are finally blooming and I am photographing every chance that it isn't raining or too cloudy. The rain is starting to spread out the bushes. Next year I will get the peony rings. The Viceroy are also busy getting more Viceroy into the world. My gardens are blooming all over and in between rain drops I photograph.

Well the Bangor Outdoor Market that I am doing every Thursday night until the end of July is so so. Last week I made a little money, This week no money. I try to keep in mind that it is only 3 hours in the evening and it is still early in the season. So I will stay positive and hope for the best and no rain.

I think for now I have finally caught up with most of my work. I can take a breather and regroup.

Have a great day!
