Recent Photo Shoots…

For those of you who are interested, I’ve posted some of my recent photo shoots on my photography blog:  raevenphoto.blogspot.com. I’m praying the Lord will guide me as far as if this is something I should continue to do as a business.  I enjoy it so much, but to continue to have this as more than a hobby I need to actually make some money from it.  I don’t want to become one of the outrageously expensive photography companies, I just want to make enough to keep it going and pay for the expenses (equipment, time, website, etc).  So we’ll see where the Lord leads me in all of this. 

Please vote for me...

Fun photo shoot…

During Christmas break I had the opportunity to take pictures of a friend’s son for his senior pictures.  You can view the blog post at my photography blog by going here.

I love baking...

Have I ever mentioned that I love to bake? Well, I do. I also love trying out recipes that show you a picture of what the end result is going to (errr....supposed to) look like. I'm not saying I am the greatest baker out there, but I do enjoy it. Problem is that when I bake I usually want to eat it. So I either freeze it and try to keep it in the freezer so I won't it eat all at once, or give it away. My husband LOVES cookies, bars, anything sweet and gets a bit upset when he finds out all the goodies have been given away.
Anyways, I came across this blog today and I'm seeing a TON of recipes I'd love to try. So go on over and check it out and see if you are tempted to start baking something immediately after seeing these recipes.

Photo Giveaway

I'm putting this out there so I can enter a giveaway on the Savvy Photographer Blog. Feel free to go check it out!

A New Start

Since we've moved to Chattanooga I've been working on getting my photography website together. I've also just started a blog for it. You can view both of them at:
http://raevenphoto.blogspot.com/
www.raevenphoto.com

Any suggestions, comments would be helpful. For now these were the cheapest I could set up with allowing me to have the option for customers to order their own prints and view their gallery of pictures online. So we'll see what the future brings as I spread my name out there and hope eventually my photography business will get going again.

Tutu Girl

I recently took pictures of my friend's 6 month old daughter, Kennedy. I babysit her and her brother every Tuesday and it has been such a joy watching them grow. Kennedy is the sweetest baby ever and I love how she is so smiley. I made a tutu for another photo shoot I'll be doing later this Spring and I decided I would practice a bit with it on Kennedy. It's so fun dressing up a girl. For some reason, little 2 year old boys don't like to do that sort of thing :)

Here is the full album if you wish to view all the pictures. Click here.

My Photography Website!!

I've finally been able to put a website together. I found a site that allows me to have 5 free webpages and I get to use all of their settings. Some day I hope to add more pages and details but for now this will have to do since I don't have much of a budget to work with. So here it is....introducing my new photography website:

http://raevenphotography.showitsite.com

Please give me any suggestions or advice about the site that you think might be better. I'm always welcome to new ideas. So this is one thing checked off my list of the many things I'd like to have done. Next will be business cards, price list, maybe a blog of my photo sessions....we'll see. Right now with running after a 2 year old, working part time, pregnant - due April 3, and taking care of the house, I'm not sure how much longer my list of things, that I'd like to accomplish BEFORE the baby comes, can get. It will be interesting to see how many photo shoots I get this coming Spring/Summer/Fall. I already have a few senior sessions that just need to be scheduled once the weather is nicer. I really enjoy those. It's fun being creative and incorporating props and stuff that the seniors are into. I also am looking forward to taking some pics of my friend's two girls. We are hoping to set up a tea party and make the shoot a lot of fun. I can't wait. Well, until then...enjoy the website and let me know what you think!
