At 6AM this morning, after 36 hours in the cold and dark, power came back on. Owen got up, took the kids to the gym for swimming, and happily I am lying in bed with my laptop, in a silent and warm (and messy) house. If I had coffee, I would have everything in the world I have ever dreamed for. I also sort of started panicking that I have a lot to do as I’ve only been able to use my iPhone since Thursday night (and Thursday was a wash.. so really, no work since Wednesday)… but shockingly, there isn’t that much I can do as I am really waiting for orders to come in so I can ship out! So here are a few things going on:
Canvases! My dining room is covered in canvases… they are slowly making their way back out the door. If you are waiting on a canvas from me, except for Lisa, they are all in! What a huge success! I ordered about 30 canvases in January and February and was so impressed and inspired by them, I created more canvas packages that give you a great discount and are fabulous add-ons to my digital packages. Those will all be announced and released March 1.
[Note that I STILL have out those upholstery samples... I hope I am not being charged!]
ISIS Display! I finally made my way back into ISIS Maternity to hang up more for my display. It has been a million mile road for me to get back there when you combine trying to find a day when I don’t have my kids and they don’t have a class in session… then add in that Owen, inadvertently, drove over a FedEx delivery of canvases that was leaning against the garage door… so there was a re-order… and finally (with kids in tow), I was able to make it into the Prudential Center yesterday. My display is in the Charlestown Room, go check it out! I also left some cards for the Nursery Contest, so you can pick up hard copy details!
[Just to give you an idea of Go Big or Go Home... I have EIGHT 16X20 canvases in this room and it still feels naked.]
Taylor Made Sweets: I am working on a display for the big orange wall at this fabulous Bakery in South Hamilton (in the shopping center with Viola and Crosby’s Market]. I shot one session with Taylor herself and her two beautiful friends. I am so excited to head back there on Wednesday and work with the little kiddos. I think I have enough kids, but if you are local to the North Shore and have kids between 3-6 and want to come in for some photos and ice cream at 10:45AM on Wednesday, please email me (using the contact form on the blog), and we can see if we can squeeze you in!
More to come from this session when I get my act in gear!
The Nursery Contest. Still going on, send in your entries. I might extend the date simply because when the initial round of judging is meant to be happening, I will be shooting a Newborn, a Maternity and Family session (with possibly an infant session squeezed in as well) + packing up the kiddos so we can head to Naples. So I am not sure I can get it together during those dates and would love to give people more time to enter! Details are over on the sidebar tab!
And to end, just one quick snapshot of the Boy and his grandmother from our visit last weekend. There are a bunch of cute ones, but you know I get to proofing the family last and so this might be the only one that ever sees the light of day! He had such a good time!
