Day 168

earlier this week i offered my photographic services to friends of meg's that make the most amazing cakes. double banger really - i get to practice my product photography, and they get some great photos of their cakes. we're both just starting our businesses, so it helps us both out - so i figure.
anyway late last nite i got a message asking me if they could take up my offer tomorrow morning, they had just finished an awesome cake. i said sure...even thou i wasn't particularly prepared. (apparently they weren't actually expecting me to say yes - ha)
so early(for me) this morning i got up and went over to their place to take the pics. the cake was amazing, and i really didn't do it justice, but i now know what i need for next time at least.
tell ya what tho, not too sure about shooting this stuff i can't eat - it's torture!



nb....my first whoops, lost the file of me taking the photos of the cake.....so had to fill in with this one - dang it

Day 167

last year i did a shoot with a couple of my classmates for a hairdressing competition. the hairdresser was rondah and i have stayed in touch with her since then.....mainly coz she cuts my hair now! she is super-talented and has won numerous awards in her time!
earlier this year she did a make up course so i had suggested if she wanted to get some new portfolio images done we should get together and get it down. having the boy around makes it all a bit easier now, as i can palm these things off to him, as he enjoys that style of shooting more than i do.....although i really should push myself outside my comfort zone sooner, rather than later!
we caught up with rondah today to talk through some ideas for some shoots. she in fact had another comp in mind, so we're going to concentrate on that sunday week....should be fun!
