Still Playing the Numbers Game?

Running a business....

Starting a new business and keeping it running creates a busy, hectic life!  But I love it and am passionate about my photography.  I enjoy photographing everything....people, places, things...well, everything except bugs.  I'm primarily an on location photographer, but do have an in-home studio...but all of that is about to change.  I'm in the process of acquiring a studio that will be totally separate from my home and am very excited about it.  Having an in-home studio is very convenient, but it lacks the professionalism a separate studio affords.  The new studio will be very close by....can't wait for you to see it!  Will keep you posted on the progress and hopefully will be having a "Grand Opening" event some time in the near future. Check out my photography blog... sweetnothings4you.blogspot.com for updates and to see some of my recent work. I'm just sayin'...happy shooting - camera style, --Margo
