Some new things on my horizon....

Thanks to well....EVERYONE, I guess!....Last year was a great year for my photography. My business has taken off in all different directions, and I've had some help designing the future of the biz!

First off, some BIG news is that there will be a name change for the business. This is in the beginning stages, and I'll keep everyone posted so the transition on the website/blog/contact #'s, etc. will be smooth. Although I know many of you have commented on really liking "Finding Joy", I think I am going to swing over to the more classic..."Joy Kaminski Portraiture." To be honest...it's just more "me." Since someone suggested "Finding Joy" a couple of years ago, many of you have commented on liking the name...the unique-ness (?) of it. But I must say...it's never really felt like "me." I can't really explain it. HOWEVER....

I've been in cahoots with the FABULOUS Jodi Bell out of Texas....she is a graphic designer extraordinaire. Check her out! www.chocolatecactus.com Now is THAT business name the cutest thing, or what! Chocolate Cactus. Love that.

Not only is she one of the COOLEST chicks you could ever meet, she really GETS her clients. I was thrilled when the first logo designs were sent to me. She is busy, busy, busy designing all kinds of goodies for me...not to mention her other trillion clients. I'm so thankful for her attention to "me." There will be lots of fun stuff that I'll be posting soon, but for now, here are three of the logo samples. Loving #1.....ADORING #3. Now THAT is me.

Just chillin'....

I'm sooooo over winter.

I'm a winter gal....I love it...Love the snow, the clothes, the coats, etc.

But I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO over it now. ESPECIALLY since I'd like to get back to shooting outside. It's just not the same indoors!

One from the other day - John.

Drake's turn...

Next up - my middle one. Stay tuned, lol

Michael...

In a couple of weeks, my first baby is going to officially be a teenager.


***Sigh****


Right now, he's out running a couple of miles, letting me know on his way out that he needs to download some new songs on his new Ipod Touch.

HUH?!?!?!

Weren't we just doing Jumpstart Kindergarten together on the computer....like, YESTERDAY???

He's excited to be a "teenager", I think. Me, not so much! He's a great kid, though, and I must admit I love every minute of watching him grow up...

Kendyl

I'll get some more going for you this week, Kendyl! Thanks for being such a sport today! Let's see...we dealt with mud, "strange" smells, snow, an "almost stuck" car, lol, and the freezing cold! What a morning....

Here's a sneak peak for you, A!

This little doll braved some COLD, COLD temps to get through her session. What a little pro!
A- I had so much fun! You were just a delight to work with. Here are just a few for now....we'll talk soon!

Well, after a much needed break...

It's back to work. Wow. The holidays were just a whirlwind. The kids are back to school....and I'm back to work. Looking forward to the new 2008 Sessions!

One last fave from 2007.....
