OK, I'm not sure I believe this myself, but I just hosted a slumber party. Yep, a real honest-to-goodness slumber party. Food, girlfriends, staying up late, gossip...and a bit of work thrown in.
Two of my best photographer girlfriends (part of the group we call the ShutterChicks) came and we camped out in the studio on Wednesday night to work on some exciting new products. These are going to be very sentimental items, with a lot of personalization, and we wanted to spend some time brainstorming about how to get it just right. We worked/played/burned candles/ate until about 2:00 in the morning, and then I couldn't sleep because my brain was whirling.
The three of us had been to a seminar over the weekend (which was wonderful) and got these ideas from a wonderful photographer from Boston. They are called "Love Letters" and "Love Stories." The Love Letters is a special folio presentation that includes a portrait and a hand-written letter to the recipient sealed in an envelope. There will be a guide to writing the letter included with each one.
I'm really excited about this! I am going to make one of myself for my husband and I'm planning to photograph each of my sisters and my brother and ask them to write a letter to each of their children. This is going to be my Christmas gift to my nieces and nephews. (I hope they're not reading this....guess that might ruin the surprise.)
The Love Stories is a whole different idea, with a multi-media presentation included. It's all about couples in love, from young to old. Can't wait to get this ready either, it's gonna be super cool!
