FYI, I’ll be out of the office May 5th and 6th.  I’m travelling to Richmond, VA for the “Captivated by the Light” Workshop with Ed Pierce.  Continued education is so important for photographers as the industry is constantly changing.  I’m really looking forward to learning a lot there.  I will have internet access in the evenings and will be back in the office on May 7th.  BTW, I’m still trying to pressure my best friend/business advisor/client L. to tag along with me for the boondoggle business trip!

This week I met with a wonderful bunch of photographers for coffee at a Virginia Beach Starbucks.  All of these girls are so creative and busy!  We laughed and shared stories for several hours.  There really is so much to learn from all of our experiences.  We’ve even decided to meet twice a month- once in Norfolk and once in VA Beach to try and make it so that everyone can at least make it to one of the meetings.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for Norfolk Academy’s “Field Day” on May 2nd!  Not only is this a fun and activity-full day for the children, but thanks to the heirloom plant sales, book exchange, and the antique silver and painted furniture sales, it is also fun for adults!  Well, it is fun if you like an exciting day of finding unexpected treasures!

Have a nice weekend.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful for my Saturday session with J.  I can’t wait!

A big congratulations out to Mary Liz who won my Surface Officers’ Spouses auction prize!  She called me the morning after the event and was so excited that she’d won.  I can’t wait to meet you, your new baby and your husband.  Thanks for supporting the SOS scholarships, Mary Liz!

 Of course, that auction wasn’t the only way to win a free photo session and a wall portrait.  The Saint Paul’s Youth still has their raffle going until May 11th.  All raffle contributions go to their 2008 mission trip!  You can purchase tickets from any SPY kid on Sundays after the service.  Who will be the lucky winner this time?

The next three weeks are going to be crazy busy wonderfully busy for me.  Oh yes, I’ve got babies!!  Check back for sneak peaks!   

Leslie du Mont Photography has had some web troubles this week and my site, shopping cart and blog were down for three days.  Everything seems to be fixed now.  I’m sorry if this inconvenienced you in any way.

That’s all for now.
