Last Great Grandparent

My great-grandmother on my mom's side passed away this past Sunday morning. Here is the brief article-

Taken from Robinson Daily News
Twila Perkins

Twila Jones Perkins, 82, Robinson, died about 5:15 a.m. Sunday, May 3, 2009, at Ridgeview Care Center, Oblong.

The funeral is 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, at Goodwine Funeral Home, Robinson. Burial is in the Westlawn Cemetery, Newton. Visitation will be from noon to 2 p.m.

I was not able to attend the funeral, but my thoughts are with my family. It is difficult to live far away from family, but I should be used to it by now! :) She was my last living great-grandparent, so it was hard to think she is gone.

IN OTHER NEWS:
My mom visited a couple of weeks ago, and we had a great time!

My business is off to a slow but steady start! I have an llc.... it is call: photojessic photography! A website and blog dedicated to only my work will be up soon! I will keep a link posted on here as well.

I attended a photography workshop this past Saturday, and it was amazing!! I LOVED IT!!! I wish I could go to one every weekend! Ok, maybe that is a bit much, but it was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot. I have a lot to think about as a business owner, and it helped me straighten some ideas I had out! :)

My blog got a facelift!... I like it!

My friend Sarah officially moved to Vegas last week, and I am super sad!!

If anyone would like some summer photos of their family, baby, themselves, pets, what ever! Please let me know! I am eager to get busy with work again for the summer! I have a couple of new ideas that I am thinking about, and a couple new spots I would like to shoot!

So, those are my random thoughts for now! Sorry there haven't been photos lately! I will have to stop slacking! :)

xo!

About Me

My photo
Twin Cities, MINNESOTA
I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota. I have a B.A. in Communication Disorders, and I have taken classes in photography and visual arts. I have a wonderful husband, a house, and two cats. I am an office manager and photographer for a wedding photography company in the twin cities, and I am working to start my own photography business in child, baby, belly, family, and high school senior portraits. I love natural lighting and I like getting as many candids as possible. I also love setting up photo shoots with backdrops, props, and cute outfits! I enjoy "choreographing" shots, not posing! I feel my style is mostly photo journalistic with a little bit of traditional and artistic thrown in the mix. I started this sight to share my work as well as keep updated with my family and friends! We seem to get more and more spread out across the country, but I am hoping to keep everyone informed on what is happening in my life with this blog. I also hope to share a little bit about myself with the people I photograph. I feel like I am photographing important moments and people in their lives, so I want them to get a glimpse of who I am as well.
