My o My

no excuses here...I often get so busy I forget I have a blog and I forget that I wanted to update it back on June 2! How sad is that! I'm old but not THAT old!
OK, with that said.....nah, I'll just leave it at that. I am NOT going to say I am going to keep up from here on in, nope, won't do it.....

Onto LIFE!
It is great. I love summer so much it makes me disgustingly obnoxious. I am singing all the time, talking to the freegin' moths in my house.....not to mention the spiders...(they are allowed to stay til fall as long as they stay up where I can not see them too well and they don't bite me.) Our house is a replica of a 1700's house, built in 1991 tho, it still acts like an old house....old fashion screens...big problem at times if they move at all to let those skeeter's in. I have a real problem killing anything......and I mean anything......EXCEPT skeeters, ticks, fleas...that's about it. May be a problem for some....me not killing anything...wait, it IS a problem for some, they want to smack me upside the head! I have seen thousands of eyes roll on my behalf. I will spend 15 minutes getting the moth out of the shower before I turn it on....ya see, can't touch their wings. Oh well. I best shut up now or I won't have ANY business, eh?
Speaking of business.....it is marvelous!!! I just love what I do so much. ('scuse me, i have to go adjust a screen....skeeters coming in.) It is an enormous amount of work marketing, studying, listening....but well worth it. I really don't know what I'd do without the internet. Besides being able to take online classes, workshops, etc...communicate with some of the best photographers around.....the best business folks. It is amazing.
Because of the internet and my website, I have been asked to do 3 weddings! I only did very small weddings if any. Well....guess what....folks love the style and philosophy of Whinneas Arts & Angels Photography
I had to continue this on a new line the link just wanted to keep going.
Anyhoo, I am now doing small weddings. I LOVE it. No more then 150 guests. I work on my own and when I have a consultation with someone about their wedding, as they "interview" me, I interview them. I sometimes have to suggest they find someone else for their wedding day. I take great pride in my work and want what I provide to be the absolute very best and I know sometimes, after a consultation that I may not be the photographer for them.
I am excited that I have a display up at the bank in the center of town now! Small, but wow, I've had 3 calls in the 3 days it has been up! wooooooohoooooo.
Thank you all for liking my work. It sometimes is better then money......ouch, I didn't mean that, Well, yes I did!
So now for some new stuff. I've had loads of fun, not to mention rewards, with the sessions I have had in the past several weeks. I will close this post with some photos of a couple.
No I won't, it's not letting me. Something is up with "blogger". If I lose this I will just die! nope, just saved it.
Well, now I have to come back tomorrow and post those images!
Until then....

I LOVE SPRING!!!!

But I just can't believe how time is flying by. Nor can I believe that I have not posted anything here in 2 weeks!
I have just seen the most wonderful comment from a client after my last post....I gotta get here more often!! She and her little boy are so great and I am HOPING I get to see them this weekend at her sisters who's kids (mom and dad too.....pets...you name it) I will be photographing. I am in for a wonderful time.
It is sooooooooooo rewarding not to mention inspiring, motivating...you name it...being able to do what I have dreamed about doing for so long.
One of the reasons I have not had the chance to update the blog (I really don't like that name......can I call it something else? Any ideas? lemme know melissa@whinneasangels.com ) or my website is I have been really busy primarily with 1 family....it started with the birth of her 5th child!( I just can't imagine...like Thanksgiving at every meal!) and this lil' beautiful baby boy....well not that little....10lbs OUCH. I have seen one other birth of a child and it truly is just so amazing it is hard to find words. ( not ever experiencing it myself it makes it all the more special and miraculous). The mom wanted to see what goes on! Most moms don't get to see, right? I'm sure some folks take photographs but probably not too many. From a few hours after her water broke to about 2 hours after the baby was born....ok, let's see, time....it was of no importance to me so I have to remember.....total of 7 hours....I was able to get some amazing photos. What was also special was her other 4 children...no, they were not in the birthing room besides a few 10 minute visits before and after....they were in the tv room. They are wonderfully well behaved, fun, respectful and not once, got bored, complained, whiny...just amazing kids. And they all get along so well! Needless to say I got some wonderful photos of them too! The most incredible aspect of this day was the mom herself. A wonderful woman (gotta be right? with 5 kids, oldest is 9) who smiled almost the whole time!
After seeing these photos from this great day, mom wanted more so a few days after, on a beautiful sunny day, I went to the house to get them all, outside, with the animals, including "Shot" the guinea pig! With so many images to go through, edit etc, it has been busy. Not to mention getting outside myself to start early on the gardening! :)
So here are a few images. My website will be in the process of being updated starting Sunday. Many will be on the site....don't worry, not the birthing itself. But wait til you see this beautiful baby boy!!!! Oh wait, you can one of him below!
