Journal 5/17/10

Well, what a busy weekend. Sorry for not checking in but it has been a frantic few days.

Saturday morning/afternoon, I spent a little time getting my feet wet doing a bit of photography at the ACPS - Jax. I will be volunteering weekly to take photos of the new residents. Check out a couple of the cuties that need a home. Visit http://www.coj.net/Departments/Environmental+and+Compliance/Animal+Care+and+Control/Pets+Online.htm to see them in person and many other furbabies that need homes.

OH! I've been approved to having a meeting with the ACPS so that I can offer free photoshoots for families that adopt shelter pets. I will have one day a month that folks and turn in their vouchers and receive a free mini session and 5x7 portrait :)

Later that afternoon I had the pleasure of taking photos with Jada and her mommy and daddy. Nothing like chasing a 2 year old around a park to get in your Weight Watcher's Activity Points! Major fun!

Sunday was a day of retouching, retouching, and more retouching. Thank goodness for ibuprofen! My hands were about ready to fall off.

So this week will continue to be busy as I keep working on my loads of retouching. Keep in mind that if you need retouching, my turn-around is pushing 2 weeks. (This does not apply to my own photography)

Journal 5/10/2010 Marketing

It is a funny thing that a professional graphic designer and do all sorts of groovy work for others, but when it comes to themselves the creative juices dry up like the Sahara Desert. I finally got some decals and magnets ordered for my car. Not the greatest or the best but I hope to generate a bit more business.

My visit to the ACPS really made an impact on me. It is amazing the amount of work to be done for all those animals with such a small amount of full time staff. I urge anyone with a little free time and a love for animals to volunteer. It can be as simple as petting a kitty or playing a little catch with the dogs. Granted for those that like scooping poop, that is always welcome as well. In honor of my visit, I made a little decal about spaying/neutering/adopting. I've seen many similar and I wanted my own!
