This Spring has been a busy one thus far . The majority of my time has been dedicated to the finer details, as in getting everything squared away to legally deem this project a business. It's definitely difficult to work on these types of things during non-business hours since I have a full time big girl job and a pretty active social life. Nights are for business and the weekend is for shooting, which is pretty unfair if you ask me. Five nights of boring legal mess and only 2 days of creative release, which has forced to me suggesting dates in May and June for client sessions since my March and April 8-day-only calendars have booked up so fast.
One aspect of the business side that I don't mind so much is the creation of my website, http://www.kerripaigephotography.com/. Though it's brought out the anal retentive side of me, I do look forward to coming home and working on it and acheiving the small yet satisfying creativity orgasm that it gives me. Seriously, though; color schemes stress me out. I've had to change it atleast 10 times. I've even become picky choosing the shades of colors. Anyone who says that blue is blue, I beg to differ. I've become best friends with HTML/hex codes in the last month, and know for a fact that there are over 700 shade variations for all colors. Don't believe me? Count them. I dare you.
Lucky enough to escape the hectic world of LLC's and EIN's and .com's, I had a shoot with my childhood best friend's 3 little boys on Saturday. Jennifer's been a mother for 6 years, and it still freaks me out to hear her be called mom. Her boys are precious though, each of them embodying the 10 year old "Jenn-Fur" I remember, attitude and quick lip in toll. The weather was awesome - the warmest we've had in several months - definitely a great first day of Spring. The photoshoot of 3 turned into a circus of 9, once the neighbors' kids joined us. Now that I can handle 9 kids, I can handle anything. Maybe.
Below are a couple of my favorites:
