advice welcome

I feel like many of you might be wondering why all the wacky changes have been popping up on my blog the last couple days.... I have been trying to get a "fresh start" on my photography business (now that I am in a new city it's pretty difficult to find contacts since I don't know many people yet). Anyway, I'm in the middle of re-vamping my whole business image and making promo stuff. I also love change so I can't stick with one look for too long. I pretty much love things simple and clean, so I'm digging the new one now. What do you guys think though?

Today I will be heading to my doctor. Have been struggling to get my thyroid medication just right and I would so greatly appreciate prayers that things will go well today and I can get something that will provide more relief from my condition. I have a long drive ahead of me today to get there and I am really, really procrastinating the whole "get ready" part. I did want to write this little post first though, because I felt like I might have scared the ba-jeebers out of everyone with my bipolaristic redecorating on here.

Okay so the advice welcome title lends itself to the opinion of the new look I asked for above, but mainly I was hoping to get some ideas from any of you as to what you might look for in a photographer's advertising. I have always worked by word of mouth and I feel that's the main tool of photographers, but I need to develop some hand outs and cards... so what would strike you best? I'm thinking business cards since they are small and easily distributed, but then again post cards are nice. There will be a new website within the next few months as well, so what are your thoughts on that?

Am I too vague today? Forgive me, there are a million and seven things floating in my mind at this moment. First thing now though... get dressed and get myself to the doctor!

before you know it...and a p.s. tag

I do apologize for the lack of activity on my blog this week. I have two very good excuses (excuses nonetheless, but they are good) for the slow pace.

My first valid reason for being so quiet is that this week marks my first as a full time employee. So if you will lend me your grace while I adjust to being away more, I promise that I will not make a habit of abandoning you all for a week. :o)

The second thing is perhaps the bigger obstacle to my posting. I haven't made any real connections as far as photography goes in my new town... so I'm sort of running out of subjects and I know you must all be sick of seeing my girls play by a muddy lake. Good news on the horizon is that this Sunday I will be snapping my sister and her fiance, hurray! Also, I have a family session in a couple weeks and seniors from back home that are beginning to schedule... I'm so ready to share new pictures!

Thanks for all your patience lovely readers!

Here is a melancholy tune from the great Amos Lee, it's called "Colors" and I just love it. Hope you enjoy my musing over music and nothingness.
