Another 2008 Goal

I have another goal that I need your help to accomplish! This year I want to shoot my first destination wedding, bad! How bad you ask...so bad that I'll shoot it for free! All you have to do is pay me and my second shooters travel expenses (plane tickets and hotel)! What will you get from me? I will do a shoot with the bride and groom the day before or after their preference, all day wedding coverage with an assistant, and a high resolution DVD with all your digital negatives on it! Anything else you decide to order from that day with be an additional 25% off for the first year of your marrage! Sounds like a good deal to me! If you or someone you know is having a destination wedding and are interested please email me and let me know! sarahseay77@gmail.com

It's 2008 Goal time!

I sat down this weekend and wrote out all my business and personal goals for this year. I will spare you the long list but I will share a few that I need your help for! I'm trying to build my senior (high school senior) business and this year I have a very reachable goal of 50 seniors. That being said I need some senior reps for the local area schools. They can currently be seniors or up coming seniors. I already have a rep for Fuquay but I would still love to hear from you if you attend Fuquay because I'm willing to take a few more since this is my first year trying to break in to that market. I love shooting seniors b/c it's always so fun to get to know their personalities! These would all be on location shots which means they would be unique photoshoots. Please email me if you are interested, sarahseay77@gmail.com. Oh yeah the perks that's always an important part. I will give you a bunch of wallets, a few 8x10's and 5x7's. If you want to order anything else you will get 25% off your entire order. All you have to do is smile pretty and spread the word about my photography! I hope to have a flood of emails! :) Thanks guys!

Busy Bee!

I apologize for my MIA status since I left for my seminar! Let me tell you the Photo Biz Boot Camp was the eye opener I needed! I will write a whole big blog about it in a couple days! I have so many changed coming your way it's mind boggling! I'm staying tight lipped about them until I get them all set in stone and done! I can't wait. My business definitely needed this kick in the butt. So I'll probably be a little lazy with the blogging for the next couple weeks while I try to get my stuff worked out, it'll be well worth the wait, I promise!

On a completely different note if you have a free minute please go by and check out Nathan's blog. His wife, Tricia has Cystic Fibrosis and they were just blessed with a baby girl named Gwyneth. Tricia was up for a double lung transplant when they learned she was pregnant and the baby came at about 24 weeks I believe. It's a really long detailed story so I'm not going to try to do it justice. Please go by and check it out and keep this wonderful family in your prayers. If you have a blog maybe do a little blurb to so the word will spread like wild fire. I don't personally know them but they have been in my heart since I read their story.

Thanks for your patience guys and I'll post again as soon as possible!

I'll leave you with a picture of the most photographed child in the world.:)

Long Overdue Post

Sorry to leave you all hanging about little Miss Sophie. She was released from the hospital on Friday night. It was purely a miracle from God that she was able to go home b/c Thursday she was a very sick little girl! She doesn't have any veins for her IV so they didn't see the point in keeping her. The down side to her not having any veins is that she will have to get a port next time she needs an IV for anything. This will stay in her until she's around 5. Please continue to pray for her b/c she is still getting pretty bad fevers every now and then.

In other news I'm in GA for a seminar until Thursday! I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. It's focused on the business side of things and I know I need help in that part! YIKES! Soooooooooo on that note I need to go do some last minute homework. You guys have a wonderful week and I'll will try to post again and let you know how its going!

Sophie Update

Fortunately Sophie's chest x-ray came back clear so that's a good thing. She will be admitted to the hospital for a few days for IV antibiotics. Her fever has broken and I'm told that she is perking up and saying hi to everyone who walks into the ER. Please continue to pray for her. Her real birthday is on Sunday and we all know that's no way to spend your 1st birthday. I'm going to see her tomorrow and put some clouds and snow flakes Uncle Adam and I made tonight on her walls. Hopefully that will brighten her day. Also pray that Josh her father has a safe trip home, he is training in Wisconsin so he won't be home until tomorrow night at 10:45 and that's just for the weekend. It's got to be hard to be away from your sick baby. Thank you in advance for all your prayers and support. They make a hard road a little bit easier.

Please Pray...

Please pray for my niece Sophie. She is on her way to Duke right now because she isn't breathing well. She has been sick with a cough for the past week or so. She needs all the prayer she can get. Thank you.

Sophie's 1st Birthday!

This weekend was my niece Sophie's first birthday party! It was princess themed.

Sophie was mighty spiffy at the beginning of the party!

Heath and Owen got to come!Soph. in her princess party hat!

A little cake for the birthday girl!
She was spent by the end of the day! Meem's was a little worried about all the lead paint recalls and Sophie having to have the rubber duck in her mouth all the time!I wish I could blog some of the awesome bridal portraits I did on Friday but of course they'll have to wait until after the wedding! I'll be counting the days until June 28th!

Canes Game

Adam and I had a great time at the Hurricanes game last night...even though we lost in overtime. While walking around the arena I saw a huge picture of me on a wall banner. I was a little excited since I didn't return to the Storm Squad this season. Here are some photo's of our fun times!

Okay back to work! I have a busy day ahead of me!

Back to work I go...

Happy New Year to everyone! I'm finally updating my blog, after a much needed break I'm back to the grind. It was a nice break but today I am looking at a mountain of work. Adam and I definitely needed a break after a crazy not so great 2007. This time last year I was getting ready for what was to be the best year ever. I guess all things said and done it was but we had a lot of snags that made it hard to see the gifts we were given. January 13th I became an aunt for the first time, May 12th I married the man of my dreams, and June 19th I was blessed with my first nephew.

I was originally probably going to make this a poor me last year sucked post but I've decided to leave the past in the past!

Let me tell you guys it's only the 2nd day in 2008 and it's already rocking my socks off! So far today and it's only 2:39 pm Seay Chiro has had 5 new patients call in! For people to still be in vacation mode this is awesome stuff! Adam and I get to go to a Hurricanes game tonight FOR FREE! Thanks Jon and Ryan! If you didn't know I used to be on the Carolina Hurricanes Storm Squad and quit to focus more on my photography business and have been missing it like crazy! And this weekend I booked my first real Photography Seminar! I leave in less than 2 weeks and I'm pumped! So I have decided I'm going to be positive no matter what this year!

Here are a few "resolutions".
1. Lose 10 lbs.! since getting married I've gained 5+ and 10 seems like a good number.
2. Do a meaningful devotional every day. I need more one on one time with the Lord.
3. Go to 3 or more seminars.
4. I have many other personal ones I leave off :).

So here's to having the best year ever! I can't wait! I hope your year is blessed!
