It has been a while (said in an embarrassed voice). I am sorry for the delay. But today is the day… my first blog post of the new year. 
Some updates…. It is 2010… Woot! Woot!
I survived the holidays and enjoyed myself…. another Woot! Woot!
And I feel happy today… A huge Woot! Woot! I love happy days.
I started doing family photography at the end of last year and I dig it, so I am officially adding it to my repator.
I am learning Illustrator. It is taking me for a walk around the block. By the fifth hour of Illustrator training my brain is mush, and all I can do is make gurgle noises as I drown in my own brain matter… gurgle…. gurgle…. and sip diet Pepsi (in the hopes that it will revive me and re-congeal my brain like a jello mold). Was that too much information? Sorry. My hope with learning Illustrator is that I will be able to create templates to sell to other photographers for holiday cards, albums, and all sorts of other design stuff. I am hesitant to mention this in case I don’t actually do it (over achiever and I might fail issues surfacing) …. but I think by putting it out there and saying, “Universe this is what I want,” I increase my odds substantially. I will keep you updated.
I had a marvelous time shooting this session. Did you notice how adorable my subject was???? I know, so cute. The light was crazy weird on this day….. super flat and really just flat. I had to dig into my bag of trusty photographer tricks to make it work. And thank goodness I have a bag of trusty photographer tricks. They totally saved my bacon.
One other thing…. I get emails asking questions about this and that and rather than answer each question a bunch of times, I am starting a Q&A section on the blog. If you have questions about my photography, photography in general or really anything you would like to know (that I can help with) please email me at jamie@jamie-sampson.com.
Cheers. Peace Out. Lots of Hugs. Can you dig it? Rock On!
