Update

It sure has been a crazy summer, but it's been fun. For the most part have been busy with weddings with July having 4 weddings and now things are slowing down with that as I only have 3 weddings to go (I will try to update my blogs of the weddings I photograph). I know this fall I will also have smaller photography projects such as Family portraits & Engagement Sessions (Now's the time to do it!! and great for holiday greeting cards!).

I'm also involved with a couple more charities. First is a walk for ALS http://web.alsa.org/goto/algoldman and our team page is here: http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/Walks/WisconsinWalk?team_id=182473&pg=team&fr_id=6467  We will be walking in memory of my Aunt Judy. And the other charity is for MDA which I've done their "lock up" for the past few years now. My site is here: https://www.joinmda.org/depere2010/alicialynnphoto  For either or both charities, please donate or help out if you can (& is also tax deductible!!). Every little bit helps

I also took ownership over organizer duties of the book club I am in (http://www.meetup.com/newwomensbookclub/). We have some fun books to read the next few months and fun activities as well-so looking forward to that.

And also looking to sell my darkroom equipment that I've obtained a few years ago & never used. I have yet to go through & list what I all have as well as take a picture of it all. So if anyone is interested, let me know-I bought it at $100 OBO!

And speaking of selling: Still have a wedding dress that I'm looking to help sell (I've posted about it in early blogs).This was also from David's Bridal. Style T8778 Strapless satin A-line, cuff neckline and pleated sash at waist. Sweep train. Available in White. Woman's Sizes 8. Beaded satin sash color pool. Also sold with Bra size 38 and the tool slip (underneath dress). She is looking to get $500 O.B.O

I think that is it for now. I will be in touch & again will try to blog more often.

Otherwise lots of other things keeping me busy this summer. Mostly, my time has been filled up finding activities for Ziva. I like taking her to the story times they have offered at the Public Libraries and attending events through the play-groups that we are apart of.  I've already made a few new friends and hoping Ziva is/will too. 

And of course, it is the season for Rummage Sales, so I've been trying to hit as many as I can. If you know of any good sales in the GB area, let me know.  Mostly looking for anything I can use for a photography prop or background and of course 18 month clothes & over for Ziva. I will also be selling a few items at a friend's sale later on in the month & I will have to keep you posted on that or if anyone is interested what will be in the sale. Also, make note of the David's Bridal Bridesmaids Dresses & Wedding Dress that I am hoping to sell (See my post in January or March of this year).

Other big announcements: my husband will be graduating this Sunday, May 2nd from Lakeland College for his MBA.  I'm so proud of him and all of his hard work! If he is really ambitious, I think he want's to go for his Doctor's degree as well (Just so people can call him "Dr. Goldman"-haha J/K). The other big announcement is that I was able to land a position back at Green Bay Truck Sales in where I used to work. With that, most of my week-nights will be spent there working on inventory for the Parts Dept. Overall I am so happy to be back to work and that they can be so flexible with my schedule (& now I don't have to worry about daycare). 


Well, I think that is it for now, I will keep you updated.

I would like to get at least $100 for it, but would be willing to get the best offer for it. I have had it posted on Craigslist, but I have not been able to get any hits on it.If there is anyone out there that would be able to help me out, please pass the info along.

Bridal Shows

Since I've become a wedding photographer in 2005, I've done/appeared in a few bridal shows to promote my business. The pic to the left is actually from 2007 at David's bridal in GB. I appeared again in early 2009.
The David's bridal show is a lot of fun and I am glad to help them out. As with any bridal show. this gives me an opportunity to get my face out there and also to be able to talk to potential clients one-on-one.
I also appeared at the Bridal show at Shopko Hall Jan of this year sharing a booth with Bronson Smith of Superior Sound Entertainment. I met Bronson at a wedding we were both working in July of 2007 and have been friends ever since. We co-advertise a lot and help each other out in the wedding biz whenever possible. We make a great team!
I'm planning to help him out again at the Shopko Hall bridal show again Jan 2010-be sure to look for us there! Can't wait!
