Well, between the storm we had the other night and the lack of time I have had to spend on yard work lately I am going to need a machete to get from the house to the car if I don't do something about it. I have been spending so much time working and doing things for everyone else that I have not had time for the bare necessities. It is great to do nice things for others, but I tend to sometimes put off the things I need done in the process of being there for someone else. I still have a lot on my plate but I have decided that I have to reasess my priorities, and definitely need to recommit to a bit of meditation each day somewhere to keep myself calm. I have been wired for sound under all the pressure and deadlines. Anyone know where I can get myself cloned a couple of times? Hmm I think I would have to wait a long time for that idea to pay off anyway. Oh well back to my happy little existence. I have more work to do. Buh-Bye.
Mia 8/6/2023 Photo Shoot Day...I have a photo session for some Senior photos this afternoon. I am thankful for the sessions in the evening because the lighting is pretty and the temp starts dropping. Here is a pro tip for having photos done. It is better to not do photo shoots first thing in the morning because most people have a touch of redness in the whites of their eyes early in the morning and puffiness around the eyes as well, plus if it is family photos and the kiddos are not really the "morning people" type you could be dealing with scowls and uncooperative moods. It all goes so much better a few hours after waking when everyone is awake and had some food in their bellies. Cooperation is imperative if you want to show the HAPPY family. Y'all have a gorgeous day!
8/5/2023 Off to the IslandWell it is Saturday morning and there is a craft fair out on the Island and I am going to peruse and hob-nob and all the such. Sweat myself to death and hopefully get some photos along the way. I am taking a friend along who is also a photographer...That comes in handy when you are driving and see a pretty cloud or a cat dancing a jig on the street corner and can't snap a photo cause this is a "hands-free state" and I believe that applies to camera equipment as well. Not going to test the waters. Also have sent a message to someone with a camera I would love to buy and add to my collection. So here we go!! Have a beautiful day...Mia
8/3/2023 Super Duper SupermoonSo last night was the start of the supermoon and I had been invited by a fellow photographer to go out at midnight and capture it on camera. Now, normally I would have been all over that opportunity, however, I had to be up at 4:30 am to get ready to go to work this morning and, believe me I checked, midnight and 4:30 are placed insanely close together on every clock I know of... so I declined because unfortunately I still have a regular job and responsibilities. Well, it turns out that I might as well have accepted because Mr. Supermoon decided to wake me up at 12:30 and keep me awake until 3:30,at which time I fell fast asleep until... you guessed it 4:30AM! I am just going to say I love the moon and sometimes it wants to visit you even when you have declined the meetup. I am EXHAUSTED! Y'all have a splendid day... k? G'night.
8/2/2023 Busy busy busy...Welcome to my very first blog post! It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Have you ever noticed that when you are doing things you have never done before, the learning process can be quite trying on your nerves? This whole thing of getting a domain and building a website from scratch is something I never thought I would be doing. Lets face it, When I was a young gal in school, we didn't have computer classes because personal computers were just becoming a thing. So, I am learning the technology world from my support system as I go. I get laughed at a little, but I am a secret comedian on the regular, so I am used to being laughed at anyway. You should hear my story about being attacked by a goose, and I wasn't even trying to take her photo. Anyway, I have been on this Mac in the evening after work, getting everything set up and I am pretty proud of my progres, but I cannot help but wonder.... When the heck am I going to get some time with my camera? I guess you have to make time for both somewhere. I Have an event to go to this weekend with a fellow photographer and we are both taking the paparazzi equipment along with us. I am certain we will get some good stuff. Then back at the desk to edit said photos and add them to the website and social media. I love this Biz! That is all for now. Have a fantabulous day!

AuthorHello! My name is Mary and I have been in love with photography since I was a child and got my first 35mm disposable camera for a vacation we went on. I took pictures of everything and mom had to make two stops at Walmart throughout the vacation to get yet another disposable camera, because what sane person takes only 24 photos over a 5 day vacation? I have gotten much better at photography over the DECADES and I have decided that I'd rather be behind a camera than behind a desk, not to mention how much more fun it is making pictures than it is making PowerPoints. Hope you enjoy the humorous quips and boring stories about photo shoots. Have the VERY best day you are allowed! Archives
