The last month has been really crazy, so I’m going to try and give you a quick update on what I’ve been up to and what’s on my mind. First and most exciting is that we’re renovating the basement so that I can move my office down there into a larger space. As it is now, I’m using a spare bedroom as an office space and I’m quickly out growing it. We’ll also have a space for a client meeting area which I can’t wait to get up and running. We have some contractors doing some of the work so the house is in chaos right now, but I’m sure it will be worth it when it’s done. I’ll be sure to post photos of the progress so check back often.

Fall is here and will be gone soon, so I’m trying to squeeze as many outdoor sessions in as I can. The weather has been decent but is quickly getting really cool and it’s getting dark so soon. It reminds me of the days I used to take the GO train to work downtown. You know, you leave in the morning and it’s dark, and then you get home and it’s dark. I can’t say that I miss those days.

I’ve been working on getting more sample albums and wall portraits and those have been coming in. These albums and canvas prints have to been seen to be appreciated, which is why I can’t wait for the meeting area to be finished… can you tell I’m excited!!

If you’ve been getting emails from me at what seems like crazy hours, it’s not your imagination. Lately I’ve been falling asleep when Jayden goes to bed, and then I’ll wake up a few hours later and then work for a few more hours. I can’t help it, I love what I do. I had this issue in college too where I would only get a few hours sleep each night and still manage to work, goto school (and party), but eventually I’ll have to learn to pace myself.

I’m going to be offering a gift certificate promotion in the coming weeks so be sure to check back for that. It seemed to be really popular last year and a lot of people took advantage of it as it’s a great gift for someone that’s looking for a portrait session or as a gift towards a wedding package.

If you’d like to order prints so that they’re ready in time for Christmas, please be sure to contact me and have your order placed by November 30.

UFC 89 is on Spike TV tomorrow and it looks like a good card. What I’m really waiting for is UFC 90 where Anderson Silva is matched up against Patrick Cote. This should be a good match and hopefully Cote can pull out an upset. You can check out the cards for both events at the main site here UFC 89/90.

Here are a few before shots of the basement (ugly I know).
