The Past and Things to Look Forward To...

Sigh... well, the summer is winding down and it's back to school time for some. I keep asking myself, "Where has the summer went?". Well, it's come and now it's leaving... Even though it's Summer until mid-Sepember, but you know what I mean.

Would you like to support a local artist (me)? I have had some inquires about purchasing some of my images as a print and well, I aim to please. I have compiled some of my favorite still life shots, 42 to be exact, and I have them up for sale as 8x10 prints. A sample is on the right, click to enlarge.

The images have been uploaded into a public gallery and are available for viewing and ordering. If you visit the "Clients" tab on my blog or go to: http://LaurenBeasleyPhoto.shootproof.com/8x10 and enter your email address. 8x10 Prints start at $25.00 for a lustre print and ground shipping is $6.00 per order. The prints are from a professional photographic printer and are photographic prints, not an ink jet print. If you would like an image in another format, just let me know. The gallery will be open until mid December, so get a head start on your Christmas shopping!

On the same note, My mother in law, Anna, has a vendor space at Ritas Decor and More in Fuquay (the address is at the bottom). She is selling some unique signs, vinyl wall quotes, and goodies. Go by there and check out what all the vendors have to offer. She is making a little spot for me in her store space to display some photographs as advertisement and I will also be selling some 8x10's there as well. I expect my shipment of 8x10's to arrive today or Monday. I would like to sell the photo's in the store matted and framed, but I will need some time to get that together. So, I will post when I have it together up there.

Update-Update-Update! We are finally breaking ground (well, sort of) in the creation of an office/studio space. The room is already a finished space, but it needs some work done to it. We have replaced the carpet with flooring and are painting now. It's a mess right now, but I'll post some pictures after it is done. I plan on using the room as a multipurpose space; part office, crafting space, storage, and natural light studio. It's small, but it's a start. YAY!

I have also been wanting to post some sessions that I did prior to starting my blog, which was started in March 2013. I have a handful of sessions I would like to post, so I will start with my next post and periodically add to it as I go along. I like to post weekly, any more than that I don't think anyone will visit. Maybe I'm wrong, so feel free to leave feedback.

Eventually I want to upgrade to a nice more professional blog, but right now I am working without much of a budget and a free blog is what is affordable right now. I also am looking into a portfolio site, I feel like a portfolio website is something I will eventually need to invest into. So, big things to look forward to in the future. Do you know anyone who would trade website/blog/html help for portraits? Give em' my number please (seriously), because website stuff is just not my forte... figuring out CS6 is hard enough.

Thank you to my loyal friends and followers and hello to any new one's! Leave a comment if you are new to my blog! Cheers!
