Anyone Wanna Shoot?

So I feel like I haven’t done anything lately, but I really have. I’ve just been so busy that this slight slowdown makes me feel like I’m moving backwards. What I’ve done lately:
Fashion show in Hornell
Calendar for 2011
Photo shoot with Calico
Photo shoot with Ben Miller
Breast Cancer Fashion Show
Shoot with Ken Noble
Four Bar & Liquor tastings

And that’s all within the past 3 weeks. So I think I’ve been pretty busy. I don’t really have anything lined up though. So I think that’s why I’m kind of feeling slow. I have two tastings coming in the next month, and I’m shooting a boudoir shoot with MKB Images, but besides that nothing really.

Yea I have put in for a runway show in Buffalo, and for the Lillypad Creations show in Syracuse. I have responded two 2 calls, one for makeup headshots and the other for an “era” of clothing style shoot. I responded to a couple of magazine shoot castings and have gotten in touch with a bunch of new photographers, and all have said they want to work with me on one thing or another. Will they ever come to fruition? That is what I don’t know.

There are things I want to do, like a hunting shoot, where I’m in my boots, my camo under armor and my long johns with my gun, with little makeup and rough hair. I want to something to show my roots. I want to do a formal dress shoot in the show and my actual wedding dress in a field. I want to do a jumping and action shot, and one of where it’s all sepia and me on the farm in the calf barn.

Besides those ideas, I’m not sure what else I want to do. Do I want to do commercial work for a designer or shop? Yes of course. Do I want to do more runway work and calendar work, definitely! But for photo shoots, I’m not sure what I want. I have an extensive portfolio, where I have to update my book with prints, but my mind is blank with ideas.

We’ll see. The boudoir shoot is for my husband and for advertising for MKB, I will need new headshots after the weekend since I’m highlighting my hair, but if I could get more paid work, more advertising or commercial work, that would be fantastic.
