wedding:
we had a wedding this last weekend, at the after hours reception ( we had a formal dry reception and then a wet after hours one)

some idiot told the world that my sister had a tramp stamp. this cause quite the stink since the BRIDE has a tat on her back. the aunt of the bride was kewl but the groom had a fit, he was not going to tolerate some idiot saying that his wife and his aunt in law were wearing tramp stamps.

blood was shed.

WOW
okay. I took Doug Box's Class. I took Tim Babin's class and I 'wanted' to believe. but I did not really believe.

NOW

I believe.

I had a family session 1 hour outdoor. 1 hour indoor.

I offered HDTV 30x40 proofing (all the images were shown in high def 1920 x 1028 resolution)

I charged 1 hour for head swapping on one image.

and I charged full price.

let me restate that

I CHARGED FULL PRICE.

I did not offer any discounts.

it took 1 month before the order was submitted but 'WOW'

so while my 'average' is $200 / family and this is a 'normal' family, not rich or anything. their order is $945 so far and they are interested in a dvd slideshow as well, but have not gotten back to me yet.

I am dying here. yes I need several more to PAY FOR THE HDTV system. but "WOW" that is what I made from one wedding or one small daycare. IMAGINE the possibilities!

my 5 year old has been singing for me

"I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky"
he is hysterical!
