I have a few things in the works right now that have been taking precedent over this blog. It’s such a sad sorry excuse but it really is true. So I figured why not share something so this blog doesn’t appear so pitiful and sad.

In the works:

1. Image/Brand overhaul:

I’ve decided it’s time to make my image/brand a little less conventional and really go with my style. In lieu of the popular damask, I’m going with an idea that I think is going to be uhhh-mazing. I found inspiration in this little picture. You are going to have to wait for my unveiling to know I haven’t gone mad but believe me when I say it’s so damn cute!

2. WPPI:

I firmly believe I have a Fairy Godmother. She is this magical force in my life that from time to time grants all my wishes and makes all my dreams come true. The truth is that a month ago I was not going to WPPI. Though I really wanted to, my Husband and I just couldn’t make the numbers work or figure out our schedules. I was saddened but I had moved on. Then rewind back two weeks, some incredible vendor on Facebook decided to hold a contest. It’s so silly really, all you had to do was be one of the first people to email them and if you did, you would win an all access pass to WPPI. So I did…and I won!!!! I cried. Yes, like a total doofus but it was so darn exciting.
Sal and I talked, he knew how badly I wanted to go and how important it is to attend and he was like, “Alright, sure. Let’s go!” As a new face in this biz I can definitely benefit from this convention.Oh, and I’m also toting Sal along with me so perhaps he can pick up a thing or two, or realize that it’s vital to my life to have that Canon Lens that I so badly want….lol
And for those of you who aren’t familiar, WPPI is this huge convention in Vegas for Wedding Photographers but really it’s for all photographers. Amazing artists from the industry will be sharing secrets about everything and well, now you see why I wanna go so bad! In typical cheese Lisa fashion, I bought myself a new special notebook and pen. I’m going to look like such a newbie, I’m sure of it but at least I will look stylish when I take notes!

3. Trash the Dress/ TDT Group Shoot:

As in, Trash a wedding dress for fun while a photographer captures it on camera. And guess who is going to be doing some capturing with her camera during this TDT shoot? Oh, that would be me!!! And I will be doing so while in Vegas! Sooooo excited. I cannot wait to see what fun stuff we will endure. My friend Syl, who is from Vegas, will be taking part too! Syl is trying to figure out where we are going to be shooting because apparently, “Vegas is all up-tight about camera’s”. I’m figuring we’ll end up behind some trashy liquor store or behind some scary motel on the strip! ahahaha…don’t worry, there are 40 of us shooting in this group, I’ll be safe!

and that’s pretty much it, for now.

Easter is coming up! That means shooting in floral fields! Wooo-hooo! Cannot wait!
