Monday and the beginning of not only a new week, but also a new Month. Welcome March 2021.
Time to remember all the Social Workers as today is the beginning of Social Work Week. It must be a very tough job during the COVID-19 Pandemic. But today there was a win as it was announced that homeless people will now go to the front of the line for the next wave of vaccines. Homeless people have a hard time maintaining basic hygiene and in shelters they are very vulnerable to COVID-19. Many of the shelters have been closed during the pandemic, leaving homeless people to freeze literally on the steps seeking temporary shelter.
Wedding Planners get your pens ready. Today is National Wedding Planning Day. I know I’m ready with camera in hand for the upcoming wedding season. Many people postponed last year and are hoping to be able to have their weddings this year.
So with cameras out today is Share a Smile Day. What nicer way to celebrate than to get a new set of portraits done or just update your profile picture with a new 2021 smile.
For those of us who have retired today is Refired not Retired Day. Without our careers weighing us down many of us have let our artistic side out and started to work full time on our passions. I know I’m going to be busy this summer. I’ve taken on a temporary seasonal job and am also looking forward to my Photography, camping and just enjoying life.

The Wedding March always reminds me of the music played when soldiers go into battle.

Day of the Horse
Lost and Found Day
2020 is shaping up to be the year of family weddings I’m looking forward to dancing with my family and friends at these events. The first date to be confirmed was 10/10/2020.
I’m so envious of Wedding Photographers. They charge huge prices for their services and have an exclusive market. Many of the Wedding Photographers now don’t even permit the guests to take pictures (I still think it’s because the photographer is worried they might not get the best pictures). Recent weddings I’ve gone to have paid more than $5,000 (I hear it can go up to $10,000) for their photographer and only get a few hard copies. I could hardly believe that people wait more than 3 months to receive their edited jpg’s. To me if you’re paying that much for a photographer the timeline should be within 2 weeks.
I understand that its a “once in a lifetime event” that you can’t afford not to have good pictures, and that the photographer has invested in expensive equipment.
Contact me. My price is only $100 per hour (free engagement photos at the time of contract signing).
