Okay, so I know I haven't added my two cents to the blog in over 5 months. Not exactly ideal. . . but on a positive note, I have been adding regular blogs every week to the photo blog!!! I'm trying here, people. If you don't think we're alive, check out daynaphoto.blogspot.com and place your vote for your favorite photo every single week. That's right. Conor and I have a little bit of a competition going on and I'm 2 for 2 so far. Do it now; vote for your favorite, add a comment and send the link to everyone you know and their dog! ; )
We just booked our 1st Houston Wedding and are pretty excited about that!!! Experienced our first ever bridal show last weekend, at the George R. Brown Convention Center, in downtown Houston. Overall, we felt the show went very well and our booth looked great, even if it was small. I was relieved to find we were the only ones with a metal mural at the show and it attracted the attention of other vendors. The Jones Sodas had photos I took and were also a fantastic attention grabber. With nearly 5,000 brides and 50-60 other photographers at the show, we had stiff competition.
My sister, Malia, flew down from Utah and agreed to be my slave for an entire week. It was much appreciated and needed. Conor and I are very grateful to her for all her help and hard work. Plus, the house was in need of some TLC and decorating. We accomplished a lot and got a jump start on the rest of the house. We took a carload of stuff to goodwill (one of many, many trips I have already taken to get rid of things that we don't have room for), weeded in midday (I hear it cleans out your pores), tried on vintage hats at resale shops a few blocks away, took 3 trips to Hobby Lobby, and got loads of HGTV at night. It wasn't a "fun" trip for her, but it was fun to have her here and next time I won't make her work for her food.
Conor and I have set appointments to start taking photos, meet with prospective brides, and gearing up for our 2nd Bridal Show, Houston Wedding Showcase, August 29th!
Conor and I after setup on Friday.
Final touches for first day of show! : )
Malia in her element at Sam's Club. She was lost in Houston, so I took her there to feel at home.
Malia & I having fun at young women's activity at church. Mom--the feather game was a real hit!!! Thanks!
And I would like to dedicate this one to Dr. Huffaker. We really are two sweet girls!
I think it's funny to note that Malia had a root canal the following week she was home! : )
