Yesterday we wrapped up our Seattle Photography Workshop for Women. It was an AWESOME three days!! This week I’ll post the photos from the weekend, and wait till you see what these women captured! Just awesome! After a full weekend, I decided to sleep in this morning (very nice ), and now I’m off to [...]
Dane Sanders and His Daughters Refuse!!
Prelude!
Today is Friday. The last day of our first week to have the new site live: Refuse to Say Cheese. Despite all the glitches and funny design coding that people encountered, we still had an amazing first week of visits! The response, feedback, excitement in your posts and emails was way beyond my expectation, especially [...]
He’s Been Awake All Night! Brian is the Hero of Our New Website!
How many bugs can one encounter when launching a new website? We must admit that this type of site is not like a photography portfolio type website. It’s so intense on how the site processes orders, verifies credit card info, does product comparisons, customer reviews, gives downloads of each 101 kit, and gift certificate options. [...]
We Are So Close! It’s Driving Me Crazy!
We are so close to going live with this new site! It’s driving me crazy! I’m so excited I can’t go to sleep, and it’s 1:20am in the morning! Yikes! BTW, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Our 27 lb. turkey turned out great! The kitchen sink decided to overflow at one point, [...]
Away They Go with a Special Surprise!
DVD 2 is off in the mail today!!! The pearl is in the river! I think I’m more excited about our stickers than anything else! But the stickers are not the special surprise. The “Special Surprise” is that within the Booklet of DVD 2 is a list of discounts for all of you! Yep, that’s [...]
Somewhere Between Seattle and New York!
Okay, time to send some serious prayers my way. I can’t share to many details right now, but wow, I’m in for a ride! I get this call Friday afternoon from Blue Pixel, the company I did work with earlier this year when Best Buy came out to Seattle. They ask if I’m coming to [...]
Thoughts on a Subtitle?
For DVD 2, the title is Beyond the Green Box. I’ve had the working subtitle be Understanding Your Digital SLR. Just wondering, do you think the term “SLR” is confusing for parents and aspiring photographers who are new to their cameras? If it is I’d rather scrap it. Would it be better to have the [...]
Overwhelmed!
There is no other word to describe how I feel as your emails arrive with your beautiful photos. I am truly overwhelmed. When we started working on the dvd project, I really had no idea how people would like it. I hoped and prayed it would connect with parents, but you never know if something [...]
What Do We See?
As parents we see endless emotions in our children. We know their quiet look. We know their mischievous look. We know that smile that says, “Momma, I wanna marry you.” Who better to take their photos then us. One of my favorite parts of my week is getting emails from moms and dads. I may [...]
Hyper Focused!
Do any of you ever get hyper focused on something, and then you look at the clock and realize it’s 2:43am!!! I don’t do this very often. That’s usually Brian. But tonight, or should I say this morning, I am the loser b/c my kids are going to totally take advantage of this when they [...]
