I am moved, I am working my little tush off and I am almost out of the weeds! While I have a few minutes to myself tonight, I thought I'd write.
First, I have to thank those clients of mine that came to me in late January and are patiently waiting for me to catch up and get to the big reveal. I'll definitely be making them blog stars in the next few days as a tribute to their kindness, and getting their galleries up shortly.
If I thought that running an independent business wasn't challenging enough, it was because I hadn't tried doing it while moving! Balance has been an interesting thing to try to achieve this past week and a half or so, but I'm getting there.
In the works:
- I want to start a program for mom groups. I'd like to dedicate one weekday per week to welcoming 3 or more moms for a collective session, which would be a much more casual package than the standard packages I'm offering. (Casually priced as well, if I dare say.) I've been noticing groups in neighbouring coffee spots and thought; wouldn't it be nice to be able to get together with some friends and have a mini-session, which could include portraits of tiny friendships?
My idea is still in draft-mode, and you moms out there are the experts on what you need and like, so if you'd like to help me shape this into something great, I welcome your comments & suggestions.
- In order to introduce myself to the neighbourhood, I'm planning an exhibition at The Riverdale Perk, just a few houses down from my new location on Logan just North of Gerrard. My work will be on display there for the entire month of March, but I'll have an opening so that I can meet and chat with whomever would like to meet and chat with me! This will be a great opportunity for me to meet my new neighbours and anyone else who would like to drop by for coffee and some of the most dangerously delicious snacky desserts I've come across.
- I'm working on some creative ways for you to share your photographs with friends and family. I've got something clever and darling in mind that's worth staying tuned for.
- My website, though functional, is screaming for a little change. It's time for updates, new portraits, visuals of products that are available, and perhaps some sample galleries for the tentatives out there that need a little more convincing. Stay tuned for those changes... sweet fun, they will be.
That's that! Better get back to work!
