So I was wondering how many no shows and cancellations are going to happen this week because of people who ate too much over the weekend. I wish I could see the data....lol

I had plenty of photographers schedule to shoot over the holiday weekend with me.

Every single one cancelled. Nice, right?

The only things that could cause me to cancel a shoot with you is dismemberment or my demise.    maybe not even dismemberment if it was just an arm or a leg that was lost...

I blocked out a couple of days on either side as no-shoot days for that very reason.  I got caught up in editing and made a ton of platinum prints.

Not just that, but the Seattle area had a rare snow storm yesterday.  My aunt and uncle cancelled on lunch. :p

I generally tend to avoid scheduling anything during what I call "holiday madness".

I had a successful shoot the night of black friday.

I can't wait to see the results, though I think he said something about the fact that one of the cards might have been corrupted (it wasn' me this time I swear!) but I hope thats not the case!!!

I had two shoots that both went well. First, shoot on the 23rd, was with Cherry Lane for part of her husbands Christmas present while he’s in Iraq (See sneek peek below).

And the second shoot on Sunday, was a new Gothic model I met at a piercing and suspension show in Seattle last month (she’s viewing her proofs now).
