February 2008

We have had a very snowy February here in NY and I don't know about you but I am ready and anxious for Spring!  I can't wait for the 1,000 bulbs of Crocus, Tulips and Snowdrops that I planted last Fall to poke through the snow and show me that some warm weather is just around the corner.

In spite of the weather, February has been a busy month.  The studio has been booked solid with interviews for weddings, photographing portraits and head shots, and believe it or not shooting luxury homes coming on the market that need pictures snow and all. We are busy photographing hundreds of rare and wonderful items for Red Schoolhouse Antiques in Millbrook NY for their website that we are designing and will launch at the end of April. They have been long, on location shoots but the results are fantastic.

I attended a fantastic seminar in NYC hosted by Lexjet on print workflow and production. These people are the best and I love working with them.  They really know their stuff!

Neal and I will be leaving on the 12th for Vegas and the WPPI conference.  We are looking forward to it.  I signed up with Mike Colon for a Plus Class and really can't wait to see his presentation.

My favorite shot for the month was from a session with Lisa.  It is a challenge to portray the right emotion in a portrait of an expectant mother and I was very pleased when we did.  She should be having her baby any day.

Goodbye for Now,

Janet
