I guess I am not doing very well posting a photo a day, but let me tell you, I am definitely taking and editing a photo a day!  So many exciting things are happening for Emily Mariani Photography!  I have been working long hours on my new Etsy Gallery, ordering inventory and working to create a beautiful store with a variety of photos and printing options for my clients.  

This Thursday and Friday I will be at my very first Art Show located at the First United Methodist Church here in Frisco.  I am told there will be at least 20 other artists and vendors selling their products.  I am waiting on my arrival of inventory; a variety of prints, canvas, vivid metals, magnets, coasters, mouse pads, glass cutting boards... all items with my photos on them.  There will be vibrant butterflies, beautiful buildings, flowers and all sorts of creative photography.  I am beyond excited to be participating in an Art Show, it makes me feel like I too am for real, an artist :)

On another note, I have several photo shoot projects in the near future.  I am working with Yoga on Main Street here in Frisco to update their website photos and even do some "Mommy and Me" yoga shots.  I have also been asked to come in and take some professional shots pre-Homecoming.  I am super excited for that possibility.  There are multiple shoots in November and I am even doing a Christmas Card Mini that is short, sweet and to the point... 5 downloadable photos, 20 minute shoot, $100.  I can also assist you in your Christmas Cards if you would like for an additional price.

I have recently started a "Gratitude Journal" which is an activity that revolves around counting your blessings daily.  You record three reasons why you are grateful in a journal or on a piece of paper.  This activity is meant to reduce stress and change your perspective.  I am grateful for photography and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn, adapt and grow as an artist and Etsy Store owner.  My grandma gave me an idea this morning.  She said I should offer blank cards with my prints on the front, which is exactly what I am going to do.  I am going to offer blank cards and even "thank you" cards in the very near future.
