Busting it out like whoa!
Jan. 29th, 2008 01:17 pmI swear, I am getting SO MUCH DONE lately. We got a ton of stuff done this weekend for the business, and I didn't even *mind* working through most of the weekend. It was happy-making work! I'm not sure what's gotten into me, but it's certainly not a bad thing. :)
BTW, if you know anyone who might want pictures for Valentine's Day, point them to our special. :)
I made contact with a local online publisher over the weekend (MySpace proving useful? Who knew?), and we wound up doing a fashion shoot for some of their spring clothing samples! We didn't have as much creative control as we usually do for our shoots, but it was a good collaboration, and the shots turned out *great*. I can't post any samples until the magazine publishes, but I'm sure I'll be throwing them at you once it's okay to do so. ;)
The nice thing is, she also seems pretty well-connected, so she's happy to hook us up in various areas. She's already given our info to a prospective studio renter, and we just met her two days ago, so it's already proving to be a beneficial relationship!
As for other work? Lots of tightening and tidying in the portfolio, the website, and some promo material for marketing. I have a ton of shoots coming up, and it's going to be awesome to get them done. Sometimes, when you put a lot of effort into planning a thing, the tension builds so much that all you want is to just launch it and see it fly. So... very... close...
I am giving myself breaks here and there, though: we've been kicking back with the occasional episode of Dexter (which, yes, it *is* a good show, so believe the hype!), and after my shoot this coming Sunday gets done, I have a deep tissue massage appointment. Finally, some relief for my poor, tired, aching muscles!
And? I'm spent.
