Friday Fractured Thought | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

* Lots of change going on. About half of our house has been packed and U-Haul'd away to Beloit. The house is starting feel empty...and it's kind of sad.

* On the buying front, we're still waiting to hear if our offer has been accepted. In the meantime, we've been looking at "backup" homes. Nothing has really compared. A few notes for people showing your homes:

- Don't try to cover up the fact that you smoke in your house with rancid air fresheners. It just ends up smelling like a flowery bar.

- Letting your dog pee in your closet probably isn't the best way to showcase it's walk-in capabilities and nice-ness. Just a thought.

- I'm shaking my head at the home builders of yesteryear. You built a beautiful 109 year old house....with a park-like backyard and lots of charm. And a kitchen the size of a postage stamp.
Thanks.

- If you are not a carpenter, please don't attempt to build "built ins" or a finished basement in your home. I know it's cheaper, but in the long run you're just going to end up with something that looks like a funhouse.

* Wedding season starts in 1 week. I'm completely booked for 2010, not taking on any more weddings (portrait sittings/families/etc I will take). So, if you have a 2011 wedding in the works, give me a jingle!

* Based on the "popularity" of Betty's blog post, I decided to get her a kiddie digital camera. We'll see what she comes up with! That way when she decides to follow in my footsteps at the age of 20, she can tell clients she's been photographing for "18 years".

* SPOILER ALERT! So so glad that Seth Aaron won Project Runway! Mila was too...boring. Emilio was too 1992.

* Now that Project Runway is over and ANTM is boring the bejesus out of me, I have precious little to watch outside of HGTV home shows and Biography. Please, Dexter, get here soon.

* We've been trying to take the time to enjoy what little time we have left in this house, our first real home.....Betty's first home. So, last week that involved bubbles......

Stay tuned this week for an engagement session, a family session and maybe more of Betty Claire Photography!
