Costume Portrait ** F.Y.I **

Just wanted to make sure that anyone interested in have costume portraits will need to be on the schedule! I'd love to be able to do walk-ins but then we have kids waiting around in costume and that's just not comfy if there isn't a gap in time. So, just to make it simple, everyone needs to be scheduled! Let me know via email at jill@dreamcapture.com or call 859.967.6685 and let me know!

Costume Portraits!!

YAY!!! It's time for adorable costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and fundraising for the Lexington Humane Society!

This year we'll be creating a wonderful calendar filled with the cutest little trick-or-treaters ANYWHERE around!

As usual, we'll have our costume contest with special prizes for the winners. And, special pricing and packaging for everyone! Online viewing and ordering will be available as well so you can share with out-of-town friends and family!

I have added an extra day this year, however, these sessions book very fast so if you're interested please let me know via email or voicemail.

When sending your inquiry let me know the date/time that's best for you and even a back-up day/time, just in case.

Also, please let me know the name, age, and costume (if you already know), of each child along with your contact information.

*The cost is still $10 per child, per mini-session. *Each session lasts approx. 15 minutes. * Sibling sessions (up to 3 max.) can be combined. * Children must be in costume. * Children must be under the age of 10 yrs old.

Opportunities Abound...

I will be following up and making call backs slower than usual over the next 10 days as an opportunity has presented itself to me and it's not optional, by any means.

Most of my clients are aware that 2 years ago I was planning to relocate into a newly constructed studio. You may even remember the excitement!

Unfortunately, there were licensing, building codes, building inspections, and occupancy issues that were out of my control and never completely resolved. There are two sides to every story and I do not want to put a dent into any part of my case so, I will refrain from disclosing any details at this time.

Over the past 2 years since this all began, it has been a challenging time for me. I have tried to keep up and sometimes I've tried to jump ahead. Usually, I'm trailing somewhere in the rear view. However, I've decided that I would use a positive-thinking approach and view this as an opportunity of a lifetime. I have the unbelievable opportunity of representing myself in a trial. Yes, after all this time, this case is going to trial, my friends!

I will represent myself against the owner/lessor of this property. They are an LLC comprised of an architect, a home builder, and a real estate attorney. Additionally, they are being represented by an attorney.

I am fully aware that I could lose but, let me just say, it won't happen quietly. I am far too competitive and retentive to allow this to just happen to me. Remember, I don't believe that things happen for a reason so I won't just sit back and let them. I will take my position and make them all aware of it.

There was a day when I was under-estimated, under-valued, under-appreciated and the sun has set on that day. Regardless of the outcome of this trial, I will prevail knowing that I will no longer under-estimate my abilities, I will realize that I am invaluable, and I will appreciate my tolerance threshold of the negative people and circumstances in my life.

So, now that I've put it out there, I appreciate any patience and understanding that you can lend me during this time.

Yikes...Technical Difficulties!

Just to let anyone that has or is trying to reach me via email. Please feel free to send emails but if you need an immediate response please call 859.967.6685. Thank you for understanding!! Jill

Spring = Busy, busy, busy!

I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've updated this blog! It's been busier than usual and I think that each year it surprises me more and more. I just wrapped up the St. Joseph East Maternity and daycare pictures along with lots of newborn and kid sessions! If you're interested in scheduling a portrait session please give me a call at 859.967.6685 or email jill@dreamcapture.com. Keep in mind that when I'm on location it is difficult to make timely return calls and email can be a better way to get in touch, initially anyway.

Things that I Wonder...

In the capturing of the image at top of this page, I thought at first sight how happy the color yellow made me. I had to capture that "Happy" and I set to work seeing it through my lens. I love all the colors in the background but had to find a focal point. In selecting this particular flower as my focal point, there was no real reason. It was just there or it stood out to me, in retrospect, I don't really recall. Maybe it was just waving at me in the slight breeze, maybe it was slightly taller than all the rest, who knows. Does it really matter? Probably not. But, I do wonder at times why things catch my eye. Or, the eye of another, for that matter. At first glance, what moves a person to the point that they may even gasp, unknowingly, as their breath is taken. Taken for no other reason save it's very being.

The image of this flower and the sea of all that surround it, represents to me the perception I have about us as individuals. I think there are times when we may seem similar, if not identical, to those in our stereotype (whatever stereotype that may be). But, there are also many times when we are set apart from all the rest just by our very being. Set apart so much so that we may even cause someone's world to stop as they gasp, unknowingly.
