Walking for a Good Cause

I will be walking for March for Babies (March of Dimes) and my personal page is here: March For Babies Personal Page > I know the walk is coming up fast, but hope I can get some donations. Every little bit helps.

I'm also  walking for the 2010 Sole Burner in Appleton: I don't have a personal page set up here yet, but you can go to http://www.soleburner.org/ for more information and where to make your donations out to.

What I've been up to: A follow up

My photography business has been in the off-season since about last October and yet I've been finding plenty to do to keep myself busy. I am currently working with a friend of mine that I went to school with on a new logo-design (See: http://hypernest.com/). We have some ideas going and everything is going well so far. I will be announcing the "unveiling" when the time comes (maybe within the next month or so). I'm really excited about that & looking forward to using something that is my own and unique vs using a generic design (that others use as well) for business cards & marketing materials. 
Another goal of mine is to create a flyer/postcard in addition to contacting High Schools to target High School Junior/Seniors for their Senior portraits. I would love to get more business from that (especially to fill the void of the wedding off-season). I have photographed 4 students already and would love to build on that portfolio. 
I know I had mentioned trying to build or create an in-home studio, but now I'm not so sure how it will work as far as space especially if my husband & I plan to expand the family.  I may have to be creative in creating a space in which I am limited on (maybe something that can be collapsible??). I will have to keep you posted on that.
Otherwise, as far as non-business stuff, I have also been busy studying at the synagogue here in GB as I had married into a Jewish family and want to do this not only for myself, but for my husband & my daughter. It has been really interesting & fun so far. In addition, if anyone would like a photographer for their bar/bat mitzvah or other events-let me know!!
And I have also been spending a lot of time with my daughter especially now that she can crawl (& will soon be walking). I've been attending as many story-times at the library with her as I can and try to get her to play-groups too (when my sched. can allow). I am also looking forward to the warmer weather as I can continue going on walks with her & now can play at the park with her (vs when she was a baby & couldn't do a whole lot). 
Other than that just trying to catch up with family & friends. I think it's been a great year so far.
