Photo day gone BIG

Another big day for my career. Well huge for me!
I earned over $250 and who said there's a economic crisis. This is great money for me especially for only 4 and half hours of work.
I started around 12. And took photos of everyone and a few family portraits, the more I took the more I could sell and then the more money I could make.
It was pretty easy but I tried to challenge myself with playing with the buttons on my camera.
I gave my friend some money for coming with me and helping me which was good but I don't think she was worth as much as I gave her. I was being too nice, I need to be more business wise.

Talk soon sorry gotta go

    Big smile from me! That's good to hear Annalisa, I was thinking about that upcoming day since you first mentioned it, wondering how it would go.

    So who's going to take pictures of you and Scott at YOUR wedding? Ha ha!

    And when do you think it will be? Whenever it is I bet it'll be amazing and an incredibly happy occasion. I think everyone who's been reading along is eagerly waiting for that day. I know I am.

    I think it would be incredible to be there with Sandy to see you get married!! (I'm so hopeful for the two of you it makes my teeth hurt). Okay not really. :)

    ...I mean not really that my teeth hurt. Not as in I don't want to see you guys get married, because I do. Boy, I don't want you to misunderstand that one!!

    Again, congratulations Anna on a successful day. I don't think you should think too much about the money you gave your friend. It's hard to change your mindset about something you're passionate about (there's that word again!)to think of it as a profitable business venture. I know because I had this same kind of situation with my hobby. I quoted my commission way too low because I wanted to give my client a break and I made about half of what the job was worth. These things happen and I'm sure you'll have plenty more opportunities in the near future.

    Before you went away you said you thought you were fighting a cold, sounds like you weren't feeling great at times while you were gone. Are you feeling better now?

  3. Thank you.

    Haha I know. I was talking about that with Kim. I don't know who will but they'll have to be great.

    Um who knows Scott said he knows when he's going to propose. I'm waiting too.

    Yes you'll be there.
    But relax save your teeth you'll need to look good for the photos.

    Good. Happy happy, joy joy.

    You asked me a while ago to remind you to do a post about your worries and how to get over them.

    So Annalisa, don't forget to do a post about your worries and how to get over them.

    If you do I'll be waiting to see what you write, because it's much easier to say than it is to do. I know because I worry too.

    AMAZING BUG

    Just want you to know Anna that I still have no idea what that bug is. But it's not making me lose sleep. Yet. :)

    TRIP

    Oh,oh,oh!! I almost forgot to tell you. I was in Australia Thursday night. Well, in my dream anyway. Sad to say, you were nowhere to be seen but one of my real-life work mates was there. His name is Pete and I talk to him sometimes at work about the trip he took down there recently. He's a great guy but I still want to kill him because I'm SO SO jealous!!!!!

    Anyway, all I remember was that I was in some sort of park surrounded by lush green plants with HUGE leaves. And I remember I said to myself, "This country is great, why don't I live here?"

    Then I woke up to reality and went to work. That sucks (do you say that in Australia?)

  8. Hey B,

    Sorry, but soon you will be losing sleeping about the amazing bug. :)

    Seriously Barry why don't you live here?
    It's an amazing country, flights are cheap-ish and I'm sure you can find one house in all of Australia that you'd like and also it's price.
    I know it's not as easy as that, but imagine living you dream every day. Barry your dream can come true you know that.

    Annalisa

    P.S: Then you can call yourself an aussie.

  9. Well at least I can say one dream has come true for me and that's Sandy. :)

    Yeah, I think I'd love to live in Australia, I've always thought it if I could live anywhere besides Canada that's where I'd go. Beautiful country, beautiful people. I won't say it will never happen, but right now we'll stay here. If I were single now I think I'd seriously consider it, because with all our talk it's made me realize how much I've always been interested in Australia since I was very young.
