GREEN!

I am extremely excited! I have found a company that I am planning to have Shannon S Photography start working along with. The company is called Wild Magnolia Design. In the next couple of months plan on seeing the new products that I will be able to offer to everyone. They offer products that are eco-friendly and that is going to start being what Shannon S Photography is all about.

2010 the year of planning

Right now I am taking a marketing class. Love it and hate it. Love that information that I am gaining, I getting new ideas for my business that will offered to my customers. Hate it because instead of having the time to put them into action I am in class trying to earn that degree. I can not wait until next year when I should be done with my BA so I can focus more of my time to really start to provide you, yes you with great photos and new products

So this year is definitely is a year of re-planning, re-designing, and re-inventing. Re-cycling :) a word to share with you about a direction Shannon S. Photography will be moving towards.

I did though just photography a wedding in Watsonville, Ca located about 20 min south of Santa Cruz. It was wonderful, who could complain when you have the opportunity to photograph on the beach?! Once I load I will share some of the highlights of that day. :)

Henry Cowell State Park-Day with the dogs!!

I completely forgot! Last weekend I took both of my dogs on a little easy hike at Henry Cowell State Park and then finished off the day at Seacliff (one of my favorite dog friendly beaches). Our newest member of our family Goober I was worried that he would not enjoy the water. But once in he could not get enough. If it was up to him he would have stayed in the water the entire time at the beach. Now I can not wait to take him to the lake!!

3 months already?!

It has been a couple weeks but I did find time in my busy summer schedule to take photos of Elijah who now is already the 3-4 months old. Crazy how time fly's by. Here are just some shots from that day. We plan to take photos at further locations especially now that he is getting older. The photo of Elijah and his older sister is extremely cute, one she will show off to his friends when he gets older. :) (isn't that what sisters are for?)

Can't wait for the 6-7 month mark!! It will be fall and that means great yellow, red, and brown foliage!

WCC-Stockton 2010

Yesterday was Western Career College-Stockton Campus graduation. I had planned for me and my assistant to have matching shirts with Shannon S. Photography on them but the iron on transfer had a different plan. The Friday before the graduation ceremony I had created a simple design to iron on the shirts that I had purchased earlier that week. I placed the iron on transfer into the printer went to my computer pressed print, then a crazy sound came from my printer. The iron on transfer wrapped itself around one of the drums/roll and because the iron on is, lets say sort of rubbery. Every time we tried to pull it out, the "paper" would just stretch. :(

So though that didn't work out my assistant and I still looked great (that's us at the end of the ceremony) in our plan black button up shirts. New plan until I can really afford embroidering the name will creating name badges. I really believe it is important to look the part and with another graduation coming up that is one item that must be completed off my list of things to do. The badge will allow us to actually wear other color button up shirts depending on wear we will happen to be shooting at.

Now it is just loading the photos and getting them ready to view for tomorrow. Then next will the WCC-Antioch Campus on 6/25/2010!

SHIRTS!!!!

With a graduation coming soon I have finally decided to put together shirts with Shannon S Photography on them. I am super excited and can not wait to be able to wear them this weekend. I will have soon a photo of me and my assistant with our new gear.

Antioch WCC Graduation

Hi everyone! I have been asked to just take the photos for the Western Career College- Antioch Campus at the actual ceremony. Students like before will be able to view and purchase their photos online. The most important part of that is that they will be able to share with their family members that were not able to attend their graduation. I will have the sites the students will be able to visit soon. The students will also be able to know at the graduation when they will be able to view their photos online. :)

This will actually be the last time that Western Career College will have a graduation under that name, they will be changing their name to Carrington College California as of July 1, 2010. I will be using the WCC as their school name, this will hopefully help for students to remember their name being that they had know WCC as WCC.

Western Career College-Stockton Graduation 2010
