#ProjectThreeSixFive: Day 17

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Not so much a photo today, but I designed a new logo/watermark.  I think I like it, but it's so new that I'm not 100% yet.  I'll mostly be using it for some branding, watermarking here and there, general logo use...you know, the usual. 

Here is what it looks like as a watermark...not exactly a watermark, but you get the point.

I would love love love and super appreciate any feedback.  I know if I can get you nerds on board, clients will be an easy sell!

#nowplaying: Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

Oh my holy poopsicles, I just love love effing love my job.  I'm a photographer (not like magazine model photographer, more like family and wedding photographer), and it is just so amazing.  I get to do what I love every day (literally, I take a picture at least once a day, check it out), and I don't have to be professional.  Like not much at all.  I try to maintain a baseline amount of professionalism, of course, but I really get to be myself and screw around.  I get artistic and creative freedom, I have no boss, I learn TONS about my craft daily, and I do it all from home with my wild beast children running around in the background.  As I am typing this they are being quiet, meaning they are probably drawing things on the baby's face. 

I just had to submit an ad for the program of the wedding expo I am doing soon, and at the end of it I decided that I needed to let them know just what a whackadoo I am.  So I sang to my ad rep.  Through the email, of course, but I definitely let it all go for her.  Here is a screen shot of it just so you can experience the awesomeness. 

So yeah, right after I sent it I realized that this is a professional woman I am corresponding with.  For my business.  That I actually make money at.  That I earn respect doing.  I rock a faux hawk, have my lip pierced and get to make people fall in love with me when I make them and their family look amazing.  I get to really see people, look straight into their souls through my lens, and capture their true emotions.  I am there for the most important parts of their lives - marriages, engagements, and babies.  My life is so great, and I am really appreciating that today.  Because today instead of editing photos (which I really should be doing) I built templates.  Amazing templates that other people don't even know how to do.  I am really thinking about selling them, like I don't have enough going on, but dang, it's not every day that you realize you have a new and marketable skill.  Damn!  Amazazazazazing!

Here is my photography.  Like it?  Go ahead and like it on Facebook: jenswedhinphotos

Feedback is what keeps me growing, so let it fly!

#ProjectThreeSixFive: Day 16

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

After spending all day with kids, usually the last thing I want to do is spend more time with kids.  Except this cute little baby face.  She always falls asleep on Brian and it's totally unfair.  I'm jealous.

I #suck at putting makeup on...

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Can any of you ladies put mascara on without getting it all over your eyes?  Cause I sure as hell can't.  I have tried everything, but I always get it every where.  Sometimes I even end up with a big smear across my cheek.  Seriously, what is wrong with me?  My mom says it's because I'm a tard...but I'm not convinced.  I'm going to blame it on the fact that my lashes are long.  Thin and blonde but long.  So nanner nanner.

#NowPlaying: Backstreet Boys - We've Got It Going On

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @JenSquard

Oh man, sometimes my iTunes is so in tune with what I need!  I love it!  Thank you, and now I will resume my dance party for one. 

 

 

Everybody groove to the music
Everybody jam

Ahhh, uh oh, hey


We've been waiting so long

Just can't hold it back no more
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go

If you really wanna see

What we can do for you
Send the crazy wildin' static
Sing it (ahhh)

Chorus:

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years
(2x)

Ahhh, uh oh

We've got it goin' on for years
Oh baby
We've got it goin' on for years

Well I'm creepin' up on your left

Straight up funky when I get with you
I get ruthless when I get wet
Keep the party packed in my corner
Tough like granite to keep the crowd hype
Get up on this just to get right
What you want is what you're gonna get
Backstreet's got the special effects, uh

If you really wanna see

What we can do for you
Send a crazy wildin' static
Sing it (ahhhh)

Chorus:

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it
Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years
(2x)

Ahhh, uh oh, hey (We've got it goin' on)

We've got it goin' on for years (2x)
Hey, hey, yeah

Bridge:

We've been waiting so long
Just can't hold it back no more (Just can't hold back no more)
Creepin' up and down now
It's time for me to let it go (2x)

Jam on, jam on


Everybody groove to the music

Everybody jam (uh oh) (ahhh)
(2x)

Jam on 'cause Backstreet's got it (Everybody grove to the music)

Come on now everybody
We've got it goin' on for years (Everybody jam) (uh oh)
(2x)

We've got it goin' on
