Photography business?! CRAZY.

So, I did my first photo shoot last Friday for my friend, Eva. She is a Violin Performance Major and these shots were for her Senior Recital pictures.

























So, that was that. THEN, after all 40-sumthing pictures were posted on Facebook, SIX people since have asked me to do pictures for them! Mostly for 1)Senior Recital, 2)ENGAGEMENT invitations, 3)Headshots

It's SO cool! And yesterday I did ANOTHER photo shoot for this Vocal Performance Major who needs pictures for her Senior Recital as well! Her name is Reina and she's basically going to join the Metropolitan Opera in a few years! AND she paid me for the shoot! I'm not used to getting paid...lol



NOW, I need to prepare for a DOUBLE photo shoot on Friday! Y'all, this is CRAZY! lol

Wearing the director cap sucks...

At this exact moment, I am sitting in the Orlando Airport, awaiting to board my 10:35AM flight to New York City...yea, I always try to be early, JUST in case something goes wrong...well, I got to the gate at 8:00AM...thank God for free wireless internet *thumbs up*

ANYWAYS.

As Director of Stetson's Broadway Revue show, I'm about to kill myself...well, I'm about to allow myself to be killed...the stress and chaos recently is causing a slow, and quite natural, death.

Why don't people just do their job?
Why don't people respond to your emails, Facebook messages, mail, OR plea for help?
I. Don't. Get. It.

What I need to do is just lay out on the table what all I need to do and take care of...hmm...let's see...

1. Buy my costumes
2. Buy props
3. Finish choreography for "Hey Big Spender" and "You Could Drive A Person Crazy"
4. Figure out the stage setup
5. Contact tech people - microphones, lights, spotlights
6. Email Hollis Center people about ballet bar FOR "Hey Big Spender"
7. Write cello part for "Song of Purple Summer"
8. Email advertisers the layout for flyers
9. Don't kill one's self in process...

There. I actually feel kind of better now. It's much better to write a bunch of crap down on an online blog, than it is to keep it all cramped in your mind and lose sleep over it at night because you're so stressed out and depressed.

Oh, and by the way, I still have to do life besides that.
Don't we all, though?
