Laine Girard - Hey Leah,

My name is Laine Girard and am 20 year old student at GVSU. First things first awesome blog!

I have a question and wanted to know if you could help me out.
I am trying to get my photography career rolling but I am having a hard time getting clients because I have very little experience. It is quite discouraging. I am almost at the point to where I am thinking about doing a wedding or an event free of charge just so I can get the experience under my belt.

If you don’t mind my asking… What is the best way to start off?

Your fellow photography girl,

Laine Girard

Sandy - HAHA! I just laughed out loud at the TV … hilarious! I seriously remember the excitement seeing that huge TV attached to the rollers and only hoped it was some Disney movie we got to watch (but it usually was a science related thing…). Ohhh… the memories! love it :)

Stephanie B - So true about the tv! haha I love the hallway photo as well…wish I had one like that in our house but we always want what we don’t have. :-)

Yea, winter basically skipped us this year. Not sure what summer will bring but I’m hoping that means it will be a good one. Spring must be coming early right? LOL

Here is to making 2012 a good one! Love the blog as usual and thanks for sharing!
