Eureka!

I had no idea that "Eureka!" is California's state motto. I was doing some research on an area that I would like to take some pictures of and I stumbled across that little fact. Nifty.

I absolutely see the irony of the meaning of Eureka and the fact that I "found it" amidst my research. I always did have a flair for the hilarious!

So, you might be able to do the travelling math and figure out that I am heading to California. I haven't been there in a while and it is going to be a nice family visit. I am excited to get out of the blistering Arizona heat for a few days. I swear, there have been a few days that I have walked outside and was convinced I was melting!

I have a ton of projects that I am working on right now. Client proofing, some design work for SEP, and some design work for a friend who is building his website which I will happily brag about him and my work at a later date. Not to mention my dearest daughter is heading to middle school in a couple of weeks!

So, I am keeping busy, I am keeping out of trouble....well at least mostly keeping out of trouble and I am keeping my forward motion that has been blessing me these past few months!

Off to California! Stay cool while I am gone!

Me and Albert Einstein

I am a genius. No seriously I am. STOP LAUGHING and LISTEN!

Are you listening now? Good.

I have literally hundreds of ideas a day. Not just the mundane ones like "I should eat a bagel for breakfast" kind of ideas. I am talking about "If I use Velcro to attach children's shoes to a Swiffer like material I won't have to clean the floor today" or "If I string up crystals to a light fixture, I wonder if that would make a neat light source for a photo shoot?"  kind of ideas. I never really put a cap on my crazy creativeness when I was growing up, so I still have a firm grasp on my insanity.

My crazy serves me well. It enables me to think outside of the box. Not just in my personal day to day life, but also for my professional photography life. It gives me the ability to brainstorm and then implement some really daring, but awesome promotions, photo shoots and products for my clients. These ideas challenge me. When I am challenged I am a better photographer. I also become a better person.

Today was a great thinking day and I had a great idea. Now let's see if it was a good idea or am I crazy....

See, me and Albert Einstein, I get him!

Girls love to decorate!

The theme of my life for the last 2 weeks has been change! Serious change. 

I got a new hair color....

I redecorated my bedroom, which I am *not* going to share with you because, well, it's private.

And last, but certainly not least by any means, I have spent quite a bit of time decorating my new website. That's right...Simply Enchanting Photography has a new home on the world wide web! 

I have to tell you, I am thrilled with the direction and the flow that SEP has been taking. Everything has been clicking into place exactly when I needed it to and how I needed it to. It is truly a wondrous feeling! 

Even though I have finished those 3 major projects, I still have so much work to do. I plan on being happily busy for quite some time. My photo shoots alone have me grinning from ear to ear! 

Thank you for hanging around while I was getting this kicked up and ready to go. I hope you all stick around to see the new and exciting directions I plan on going! It should be a fun and wild ride!

Blessings,
