Newsletter is out

Hello, a few quick notes
NEWSLETTER
The October newsletter is out. if you would like to subscribe to it please drop me a line here
NOVEMBER
November has gotten pretty full already. it is true that going away for a Mexico wedding makes the month that much shorter but still. There is a snow fairy week end November 17 to 19 and a bunch of new products to get for clients.
We did not get as many Dancers as expected so we shortened the week end. That is next week end.
FAMILY PHOTOS AND GREETING CARDS
We have put a week end aside specifically for family photos. We can do them on location here in beautiful Caledon. We already have a couple of location picked out. If you were thinking of greeting cards, please book your session soon to avoid dessapointment.
If you have already had  a family photo session this year with us, we will gladly order greeting cards for you. Just give us a call 905-584-1999


Wedding News
The new Wedding web site has been launched. We will add more work shortly. here is the link for a visit www.weddingstoriesbydesiree.com

Promotions worked for Your Eye on Photo

I know I have not written a word here and hardly even visited Facebook lately, but that's because we have been tremendously busy at the studio.  I am so pleased to report that the March Tattle Tales promotion worked beyond my expectations with 32 photo sessions and almost 40 little ones coming to the studio. thanks to all of them and all the moms and dads, we now have a lot of new tattle tales themes and a lot of new images.
The Tattle Tales website is now updated and each of our 14 Tattle Tales are beautifuly illustrated. See them all here ;     http://tattletalesportraits.com/

Thank you all !

Our regularly scheduled designer sessions, among them a maternity session,  were still going as well and thanks to those, we've also added new images to our main web site. You can visit those right here http://www.youreyeonphoto.com/yeophome.htm

Our big news a the studio this week, is that the Wood's fairies Tattle Tales are featured on Living Social Family Edition. To see more details, please click on the following link

New Year, New Goals

In the past, Like many people, I felt compelled to re-start my life at the beginning of every year. I made resolutions aimed at cleaning up every area of my life. But this system does not quite work,  does it? It's a get-results-quick scheme...  Two years ago, I realized what does work. "Slow and Consistant" as much as one can handle on a regular basis is more solid than "Quick and Crammed". It's less of a shock for the system, the body, the mind and the emotional balance.  Therefore, there are more chances to keep it up.

So, instead of drastic resolutions, Gentle moving Goals is what has panned out for me. I write down Goals and break them down into little steps that I can take to make it happen. Breaking down one big project into small little projects seems to make goals more attainable and maybe less abstract. The efforts are more consistant and become part of my life. If the goal invloves a habit change, I change only one at the time. It's easier to keep it up.

So far, I have accomplished so much including moving the photo studio out of the house and into a comercial space.  When I look back at my notes, I see how I have progressed. I re-visit my "Goals book" every few months.  This allows me to fine tune some goals and is often a pleasant reminder of my accomplishments.

There is another fun thing to do that I learned at a workshop last year. Write yourself a letter describing where you see yourself in a year form now. Put your letter in a self addressed and stamped envelope and give it to a friend you trust and ask them to mail it to you in one year. I can not wait to receive my letter. it's due in a few months.

Despite all this reasoning, the new year still prompts me to take on new goals. My goals this year include
  • Get all my new web sites up and running (already started, one day a week)
  • Add  8 to 10 new Tattle Tales   
  • Have new and exciting products for my Tattle Tales  and Wedding clients.  Hint: Great images illustrate great tales, great tales make great books

This does not mean everything will be done in the first month of the year, though. Remember, my slow and consistant philosophy... 
Keep an eye on this ost and see the progress.

I wish everyone, a happy, successful and profitable year in 2011 !
