over the years i have done engagement and wedding photos for friends and family, and i suppose it was just a matter of time before i gave serious thought to making a business out of it. truth is, i still have absolute confidence that marriage and family are in my future, and in an ideal world, i will be able to stay at home with the kids. with that in mind, i have been pondering for years what viable 'side-business' i could implement. the obvious answer was event planning, but to get an event planning company up and running would take a lot more legwork. photography is something i love equally well, and is probably equally lucrative, with less time investment required.
so, the 'official' launch of this new business is probably six months off...pending relocation, the purchase of a new camera, and photoshop classes. the camera is the big roadblock at the moment. i simply can't afford to invest without having any idea where my income will be coming from at the end of september, and i don't think anyone will take me seriously with my point and shoot...even if it is 10mp.
in the meantime, i'm trying to put the pieces in place so that when i am ready to go, i am READY to go. the first piece for me was beginning the website. it's still a work in progress, but feel free to check it out and comment. constructive criticism is always welcome!

in other news, kate and kendyl are moving back from nashville at the end of the month. needless to say, the info came as a surprise, particularly after having spent 20+ hours in a van moving her there only two months ago. nonetheless, it was great news to all of us, and means that i get a little more time than i thought i did!
i had a dream about my future husband last night. he was tall, dark haired, and 37. today i have been scouring all the mormon singles sites in search of him. it's possible he's 36 and will be turning 37, and it's also possible that he is the brother of someone i know. so, if you have a brother who is tall, dark haired, single, and 36 or 37, send him my way. you could be personally responsible for my eternal happiness! (ps...lara, you know who does not qualify as your brother--he came up in my search today--even though you have known him so long).

LOL -- I immediately thought of "you know who" but didn't say anthing. :)
Hey Tara...great Website...what is the name of the song that plays?
I had to laugh when I first saw the name of your new company--I mentally reversed a couple of letters, and thought it was "Spoilt Photography". Couldn't figure out why you wanted Spoiled pictures.
Oh, and how dark haired, and how tall? ;)
Very cool my friend!
So he has to be 36 or 37 now? What if he's like, 35? :P
