Out o' Town

Tomorrow I leave for Tennessee to meet my dad's side of the family for our Parsons' Family Reunion! I'm pretty excited...I haven't been up to visit my family in TN in over 3 years I think. I should have internet access, but it's not likely I'll be getting back to any e-mails until I return on Monday the 30th. So if you try to get a hold of me and I don't reply right away, don't worry...I'll be back next week! Have a great weekend, everyone! :)

True Blue Seniors

I guess that Red Bull I had 8 hours ago is still workin'! I caught a second wind and decided to post a few images tonight despite the fact that I really should be asleep! These are a few of the things I came up with for my True Blue Seniors, printed by the fabulous White House Custom Colour. I'm so happy with the way these turned out! I've got 411 cards for myself and some for Janet, True Blue stickers in different colors (I can use those for tons of different things!), a 10x20 storyboard, and a preview of the album I just ordered from Finao One...my first one from them! I can't wait to see it!! Ideas, comments or feedback? I'd love to hear from ya!

Thanks, everyone! And now...goodnight! :)

Eeeeek! I'm so excited!

So I've been working feverishly on some materials to promote my new high school senior photography endeavors, and my second favorite UPS man (I don't know what happened to my favorite dude!) delivered the fruits of my labor this afternoon! I saw that big brown truck roll up and squealed with delight like a little girl...then ran outside and practically clapped my hands as I saw the big, lovely "WHCC" lettering on the sides of the boxes. I opened each box one by one, carefully laying out the goods across the living room coffee table. It's just so satisfying to see what was once a concept fully realized as printed materials right in front of me. Happy sigh.

I'M. SO. EXCITED!! My beautiful, fun and energetic cousin, Janet, modeled for my promo materials...and she did a spectacular job! The pictures came out amazing, and I'm so pumped to get more high school senior business in the door! I just think shooting seniors is so much fun...they're young, coming into their own as adults, fashion forward, and ready to try just about anything. The perfect recipe for fun, hot, amazing photos!

I'll post some samples soon (running on 3 hours of sleep, a giant Red Bull and remnants of UPS adrenaline right now) but if you're interested check out the new MySpace I'm working on for my senior work...www.myspace.com/trueblueseniors. Which leads me into saying that yes, my senior division will be called "True Blue." I really like taking the idea of loyalty and applying it to one's self...staying true to one's ideals, goals, vision for life and true personality. Plus it conveniently ties back into "Blue Lane." :) So, I'm thinking for a tagline something like "Be true to yourself" or just "Stay true." Any thoughts on those ideas? I welcome feedback!! This is all new to me, but I'm soooo excited and can't wait to get started and meet all of you class of '09ers!

Cheers!

Forward in time
