New Business Card and Water Mark

Well here it is folks, my newly designed card and Water Mark. RedgwellPhotography, freezing moments and capturing time. I did it all by myself and I am pretty proud of myself!

I have been thinking pretty hard about my next step and as I was doing that I received a facebook message. This was a message I was thrilled to get because I haven't really advertised my photography to much. It was a recommendation! I will be heading out west in April to do a wedding photo shoot. I am so excited about it! I will do a blog post on it shortly after I have finished it.

I am still preparing to do the lighting workshop in Calgary and I am hoping to pick one more. Not really sure what though. I think it will be good for me to get out and meet other people who are in the same field. I enjoy the company and hope to learn from others a the same time. I think it is much more solid then books all the time.

Over the last little while I have made allot of system upgrades. I purchased a new laptop,computer, CS4, a wacom bamboo and a brand new Canon printer. Subscribed to a few magi zines to keep up with things.

Cant wait for the coming year. I am thinking about a contest of some sorts, I'm not sure how well they work or what my idea would be behind it. A possibility for sure.

Meanwhile, I have a dinner for 70 people at the Elementary School tomorrow. I am cooking ham and scalloped potatoes, Greek salad, homemade buns and fruit fondue for dessert. It is going to be really good! I hope everyone enjoys it.

Any ideas for a contest ?

Wedding In May with Family!

I traveled to a little town outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in May of 2009. It was my cousins wedding and my daughter Keira was the flower girl. It was great to meet new friends and catch up with family I haven't seen in years. I took the photographs for her and her husband. It was and honour! Quilting is a major component of my heritage. I had to get a picture of the shoes ,along with the pearls she wore , on an heirloom quilt. It was a great time and the weather was very nice. The bride ended up getting cooked like a lobster!

Well, I have decided that I need to create a new letterhead. One that people will look and and say " Oh that's RedgwellPhotography". I have no idea how to do that ! I am hoping to get a good book asap! Any suggestions? I have got to buckle down and concentrait on how I want to portray myself as a photographer? What will set me apart and how do I make it mine? These are all big questions to be answered. I feel like a baby learning to walk!
