A Little Housekeeping...

So I am officially (but slowly) transitioning to a Mac. It will be a 50/50 business for a while as I will continue with my trusty Vaio laptop as a travel companion until she decides to retire. It is a transition my sister has been trying to get me to make for a while. Don't get me wrong, I still like pc's in general and if it weren't for this line of work, I would probably just stick with them. But, I have, unfortunately, had my fair share of viral infections of the pc over the past few years and would really rather not have to go back to the pc doctor for a long while. Besides, having the 2 computers will allow me to continue working should one require some tweaking and I won't get so far behind (wink, wink).

Now that the holidays are behind us, there are some updates and housekeeping that I would like you to know about:

1.  I have said it the last 2 years and haven't followed through, but I will be taking the entire month of December 2010 off. My family is very lucky that there were gifts under the tree a month ago. Along with this, I will only be able to accept 1 wedding between the months of November and December.


2.  Over the next couple of weeks I will be updating the calendar on my website with dates and deadlines that I have already set in place. This will include Saturday sessions. I will set aside 1 Saturday a month for sessions. Some months I may be available 2 Saturdays out of the month for sessions, but I will post those on the blog as well as on the website calendar.  On Saturday session days, I will only be scheduling 2 sessions. Saturdays always book quickly, so if you are interested please contact me as soon as possible to get on the books. 

3.  I will be doing spring mini-sessions and fall mini-sessions. I will be posting info on the blog soon regarding the spring mini-sessions. These also fill quickly, especially the Saturday mini-sessions.

4. I have been asked about blogging sessions and how I choose which sessions to post. There is no rhyme or reason to this process. When I get the opportunity to sit down and blog a session sneak peek I usually just post the session I am currently editing. Generally, if you are a first time client or on the baby plan, I will post a peek of your session. Some blog postings show a peek of 2 or 3 images while others may show 6 or more images. This all relates to the amount of blogging time I have at that particular moment:)

5.  I am still getting requests for a photography workshop. I blogged about this a couple of months ago, and then the holidays rolled around and yadda, yadda, yadda (my throwback to Seinfeld). Anyway, I am still considering this. It would be a small and intimate group workshop to allow all questions to be asked and answered, so registration would be limited. We would learn about the features of your DSLR camera, what they do and how/when to use them, shooting techniques and even touch on how I use photoshop during editing.  If you are  interested, just drop me a line at agphotography@bellsouth.net .

That's all for now. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions just let me know. I'm looking forward to another great year at AGP and am very glad you are along for the ride.
