Photography Gigs!

Hey blogger buddies! I have some exciting news regarding pictures and photography!!!! I have done a few weddings and taken some pics of children for friends in the past. Ever since my youngest, Jacob, has been born (he's five now), I have done these kind of pics a little less (just no time w/everything else going on). I have done some pics, but not a lot. Anyway............I just got hired to do SEVERAL different photography gigs!!!!!! The first gig will be this Monday. Jacob is in preschool and the four yr. old class is graduating at the end of May. I will go on Monday and take the professional pics of the kids in the caps and gowns!!!! WooHoo!!!!! :) Now, I must mention for the those of you who don't know, that I also took the preschool pics at the beginning of the year. You know the school pics you always get of your kids at the beginning of each year? That's what I did. It was a pretty good success and it was fun to do. Soooooo, they have asked me to come back and do the graduation pics!!!! Now, I also must mention, that the preschool teacher is a VERY good friend of mine who I love to pieces!!!! She gave me a chance to show what I could do and I appreciate it VERY, VERY much!!!!! It feels good that she wants me to come back and do the graduation pics!!!! Thank you, Carleta!!!!!!! :)
Soooo, the next gig will be on May 17th. I am going to do a wedding!!!! I am super excited b/c I haven't done a wedding in awhile and I think it will be sooooo much fun!!!!! Again, it is an old friend who asked me to do it, but I am truly honored! They really trust you on such an important day!!!! I always have lots of ideas planned and hope we can get all the shots in w/out taking up too much time!!!!! :)
Last, but not least, the elementary school where my oldest son, Jack, goes wants us to come back and do 4th grade graduation pictures!!!! I say, come back, b/c we did it last year. They must have liked our work to ask us to come again. We have done the school yearbook for the past two years, as well, so people have gotten to know us pretty well. It is a good feeling to know that people trust you and are pleased w/your work!!!!! :) Photography is truly my thing. I feel like it is the one thing I am really good at. I love to practice and learn from others. If anyone has any advice, especially on the wedding, please pass it on!!!! I would LOVE to hear!!!!! :) I have seen some terrific pics on other blogs which is really cool b/c I see that many of you share my passion!!!! :)
Soooo, lots of picture projects coming up this month!!!!! I promise to blog some of them for everyone to see! Oh, one last note, my niece, Gracie will be turning two this month (May 19th), so I will definately get some shots of her to post and show off!!!! lololol!!!!! She is the only girl (and my baby brother's daughter - he is eleven yrs. younger than me), so we are over the moon for her!!!! :)
Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!!!
Love, Cissa :))
