I cant believe it has been so long since I have been online. I Almost forgot about DeviantART!! Something I never thought would happen :(
Life has been really busy. My youngest even starts school next septemeber! So that would mean more time on my hands right? WRONG!
I have been running a very successful photography business now for the last 7 months and I have bookings coming out of my ears!
If im not marketing, im repling to emails and bookings, editing, updating my website, facebooking it and finally actually taking some beautiful photographs!
Who would had thought it would take so much of my time. And im only actually out photographing for a few hours a week.
Also in such a short time I have officially retired from Wedding Photography at the grand old age of 26. Seriously, stressful is not the word. Thankfully my last wedding went amazingly well and I let it on an amazing note!

So what have you all been up to in the last year or so? Anyone got married? Started a family? Moved into their own place? Started a business? Please do tell!! <3

PS. My photography website is www.lucylou-photography.co.uk if anyone is interested in having a nose ;) <3

 

 

OH OH OH OH I almost forgot!!! I am now a National Award Winning Photographer!! I won a bronze bar from the Guild of Photographers. Something that is very very difficult to get. Very happy :D <3

Hey everyone! How is everything in the Equine Art world!?
Im so sorry i havnt been around as of late... Alot going on in my home life that is keeping me rather busy!
Having 2 sons with special needs is certainly keeping me away from the computer!

I did venture into child photography for a few months and it all came abit to stressful and its not good me being stressed as my youngest has to have a calm envioment... So i had to put it on th back burner untill he starts school, which is another 2 years!! =O

So to fill up my day while my little ones are at either school or nursery i now make newborn photography props!
The business is doing fabulous at the moment and its something that is calm and relaxing... I love it!

Thats the reason i havnt been on here much, i have been consentrating on setting up a business as a standard 9-5 job for me is completely out of the question! I need to be close by just incase i have to take my little ones to hospital or doctors.
I've always worked and been very indipendant and i dont want to be one of these mothers that do nothing all day...

Loves to you all!!!

Wow! I cant believe i have actually been away from DeviantART! :faint:
As you all know i have had a new camera for cristmas which i now have 3 new lenses for already!!
Gotta love Ebay right?

Anyway i have been taking ALOT of photos of my children and my sister asked me do to a photoshoot for her little girl (shes 4 months).
Well ever since then i have been bombarded with people asking me to do there children and babies!! I thought why not eh? Maybe this is my calling in life!! So i have done another 2 photoshoots and i have 5 coming up in the next 3 weeks. Im doing them for free at the moment as i need to build up a portfolio.
Me and my husband are in talks weather to actually make this into a business in in 2013 new year! I have ALOT of saving to do and alot of courses to do till then so i've been stupidly busy.
I have an inteview at the Job Center Friday to see whether i can blag my way onto a business training course! I have to make an appointment with the back within the next 6 months to sort out a buiness plan. I have 2 courses i need to do at college which thankfully i get funding for as im a carer for my 2 boys!

Things are moving so fast and i still feel the need to manip! I miss it i really do :(
Maybe in the next couple of days i will try and find time to do another manip ;)

On other news i had an amazing birthday!! I didnt go out as having a 5 yearold with XXYY Syndrome and a 21 month old boy with Autism i cant find a baby sitter, not even my own parents!!!! But we had a DVD night and a LUSH Chinesse :D

Thank you all for the birthday wishes to!!

Love ya all <333
