After much bribing, I was able to get some updated pictures of my little living doll. I must say this little girls eyes will steal your heart and you will forget that she took your $12.00 moisturizer and smeared all over the bathroom trash can or that she is continually in trouble at school for not listening to her teacher. There are SO much life, expression, and personality in them that it blows my mind. I find my eyes tearing up at the moment just thinking about hers. I really need to go to bed, but I wanted to post a few of today's pictures and let you decide for yourself what is really going behind the scenes of these eyes?

Wow! I fully understand the resistance to starting a "business" with photography… I did it. I've kind of faded out of it just because I had so much other stuff going on, but photography is addicting. I absolutely love it. I hope that when I retire from teaching I'll be able to pick it up again as a hobby/second income. While it's stressful/worrisome, I had positive results getting publicity by doing some really cheap work that I slaved over for hours. I agreed to shoot a wedding for $100 if she would pass the word. I volunteered to shoot a couple of models for a bulletin board advertisement if the business owner would spread the word. I photographed 4 seniors for $20 a piece. We all hopped in my truck and toured the town looking for neat places to take portraits. A little editing, uploaded them to Facebook… word starts to get out. I printed business cards through VistaPrint and kept them in my camera bag because people would approach me at weddings/birthday parties/my other jobs and ask for my info and if I would be available on certain days. I haven't had a single class on photography. I think the majority of people could care less how you got to be good at the art… as long as your good. And sister…. you and Kari do an amazing job!! This last picture of Katerina is breathtaking!!! I wish you both the BEST of luck. I wish we all lived closer. *sigh* Hang in there. One day Wendell will be done with school and things will slow down a little.
