I think it is time for a summer freebie!

I have been so fortunate to be swamped with entirely new clients this year. My repeat clients have been equally amazing. When you "feel the love" as I have this year it makes you feel grateful, excited, and charmed by each new day. It also makes a person want to "share the love". So this is my plan.....

1. To enter, you must be a fan of Real Life Photography on facebook. (CLICK HERE)
2. Share the contest on your wall.
3. Once you have shared it leave a comment telling me who you will share your extra mini session with and why:      example: My sister would love this session because she is awesome!
4. Be sure to tell your friends to enter....maybe they will share their mini session with you.

Did you see it yesterday? Venus crossed the path of the sun and we could see it from way down here. If you missed the event (or were too scared to watch it from fear of damaging your eyes), check out the video below.

  

This event will not happen again until 105 years have passed.  If you want to partake in more celestial watching this year, we still have a few very interesting events. On August 12th you can view the PERSEID METEOR SHOWER. On November the 13th there will be a total eclipse of the sun. On December 13 & 14th grab your blankets and head outside for the GERMINID METEOR SHOWER.

Two years ago I woke the kids up and together we watched shooting stars until they were completely out of wishes. It was a great night and one I hope to have again this year. Last year the Perseid meteor shower wasn't as spectacular because of a bright moon, but this year looks promising.

Happy Wednesday-

Making a go at your own business is not for the faint at heart. I have been so fortunate that my hard work has turned into a business full of fun-filled days and amazing clients.

I know that some of my regular readers are just getting started with their own photography studios, clothing boutiques, design shoppes, etc. I found this today on pinterest and wanted to share it with my readers. I hope you will find inspiration in these words.
