YES I WILL!!!

No Day But Today…

Today was inventory day, albeit it was somewhat slow going since yours truly is currently working with one arm, but that’s another story for another time. At any rate, my trusty Affairs Czar, Jasmin did the heavy lifting and as we were sorting through the piles of props, wigs, and costumes; I began to think about the many excuses that were racing through my mind as to why we shouldn’t do inventory today. Everything from, “my arm hurts,” to, “it’s almost dinner time,” scrolled through my mind. In the end, it was best that we push forward and do what we needed to do instead of taking heed of those excuses and never achieving our goal because we were waiting for a more ideal situation.

In comparison, there are many things in life that we push to the side and put off for a later date with every intention to get back to them, but often never do because the ideal situations that we wait for never truly arrive. Why am I talking about this in an artist’s blog? It’s because I want to tell everyone that there is no better day to sign up for their sessions than today! Let us not have waiting for those ideal conditions keep us from doing what we want; whatever those things may be!

Many people have come to me expressing their desires to book sessions, but either want to wait or are too nervous for various reasons. While posing in front of a camera can seem daunting, we take measures to ensure that everyone is comfortable in front of and around the camera. We will work together not only to ensure that you get great pictures, but also so that your entire experience with Ruby Spring as a whole is an unforgettable one!

Happy New Year

Here we go again...

It's 2012 and most of us are still basking in the warm glow of the New Year's potential. It's so stock full of possibilities that we very often over do it with Resolutions that we half mean to keep, but forget in two weeks time! As I was putting away the gift bows and my black Christmas tree, I began thinking about a particular project that Ruby Spring will soon be working on this year. Sometimes I love the planning stages as much as the actual shoot itself because figuring out the logistics, while often tricky, can be fun and creatively stretching. As we get to work on more and more of these projects, and as J and I get to tackle on bigger shoots, it's certainly been an adventure! At any rate, as we march head first into this new year, let us all not make promises that we will forget to keep. Instead, let us set goals that are not only realistic and attainable, but are also goals that bring us into a different place so that we do not grow complacent or stagnant; whether in our art or in our personal lives.
