Hurry up weather and knock this winter outta here. I'm so ready for even 40-50 degrees. I love that the sun is out more lately, but once you step outside it doesn't do any justice. It's still too cold and very misleading for you sun.
So I haven't posted here on a while. I'm looking forward to warmer weather that needs to hurry up and get here. I'm looking forward to some new photo shoots coming up. I'm also looking forward to taking long walks in the warmer weather.

I got my nose pierced today. I also got a new lip stud with a music note. I'm super proud I got my nose pierced. I was so nervous but it wasn't too bad at all.
I'm starting a photo project involving people and their tattoos. I want to photograph their tattoos and them. I want to get the person's personality to come out through their tattoos and show who that person is. It's going to have meaning and purpose and be great for the client too. I'm very excited to be starting this project next weekend.
I feel as if people need to realize what is real and what is unreal. Real is something you can actually physically see, hear and touch. It's that human interaction with someone that cannot even be replaced with a phone call or internet conversation. Yes a phone call can brighten your day or an email, but it pales in comparisson to real one on one human interaction with someone. A lot of people strive for hundreds of likes on a Facebook status or 100,000 friends on your page. That's not what matters most. Family and real close friends are what matter. I have met a few great people over the internet and that's great, but usually the connections that you make with someone you may never even meet that person. It's a fake relationship, don't get me wrong it's nice to talk to those people and have them like a pen pal. It's just not the same. I know some people have a hard time making new friends and get social anxiety when they try to branch out, but if you want to ever have growth and move on up in life's ladder you need to be brave and strong and put on those man jeans and balls it up. It's not an overnight thing and I'm not saying go right out and meet your facebook buddy you have been wanting to but you need to make bigger and better steps to change your life for the positive. So many people just dwell on their faults and flaws and worry that they can't or won't be able to do something and all it does is hold them back. Life is all about chances and taking those chances or you will never know what you have missed out on till it's too late in life. Everyone has some sort of flaw and we are all only humans in the flesh. We bleed all the same and scare and bruise alike. Rise to the occasion, strap up your bra or put on your boxers and jump right into something new. Don't just think about it or talk about it, actually do it! Don't just sit back and bitch about your problems and do nothing to fix them. You can do it and everyone has the potential to do great. We are our own worst enemies sometimes and we can bring ourselves right back down. We get into this comfortable norm. and we are too scared to jump out of it into the big bold world around us. Come on and let's all be the best us that we can!!!
So I've made a decision do more personal art photography. More creative things that I want to do and more of my own project type stuff . I did another shoot with one of my models Mary and it turned out pretty great, there were a couple of hurdles but we got over those pretty quick and got some great shots. I still need to go through them and edit the ones that need it then I can post some. I still haven't finished going through all of the photos from my other shoot with my model. I can't wait to do something extremely exciting that I had in my head coming up.
I also am having 10% off any session booked within the next 3 weeks by February 7th. I also updated my prices to packaging if you already didn't know. What you would get is a set price with a set amount of photos and such. I look forward to everyone booking and getting to to know new clients and past ones. This is me with the new lipstick fuchsia flash. I just love it.
I'm running boudoir sessions for awhile now. They are $100 and you'll get a mini accordion book of photos plus a 10x10 photo book. You will also receive around 25 digital images. I'm super excited for these sessions. So I've been experimenting with some new lipstick colors. Totally in love with the new ones I bought the other day. One is very pink and its called fuchsia flash. It is wonderful and the other color I bought is more purplish pink. also on another side note I've been experiencing very bad tooth pain which caused me to see an oral surgeon. My bottom right within to decide to come in but there wasn't room for it and it crack my other tooth beside it and it's pretty much a hole in the shell of the tooth. I get pain that goes down my jaw and up my jaw by my ear. So at oral surgeons he gave me some antibiotics and some pain meds and I go back February 3rd to get the tooth pulled that's cracked. I hate tooth pain, it is the very worst.
I'm going to be doing some boudoir sessions and they are $100 . With the session you will receive a mini accordion book of photos and a 10x l10 photo book. I have some locations that can be used or if you feel more comfortable your home can be used. these photos can be done very tastefully or if you want something a little more risque that's all up to you as a client. I will only post what you give me permission to post on my photography page and web sites and only if I feel it is appropriate. Michael with the sessions is to do something fun that maybe you and your husband can share together. I also am working on a new concept for a shoot coming up and I may be looking for wanted two models if so I will post something on my Facebook page and also on here in another blog. I have some of the contact details worked out in my head but I'm still figuring out a couple little quirks. does she would be very fun, kitchy and eclectic. I'm very happy with these personal shoots I've been doing lately. These shoots are so much fun not only for me but for clients and models as well. I hope everyone has a great night and a wonderful start to their morning. Here in Michigan where I live the snow has been coming down for the past 2 hours and they're big giant flakes the size of my thumb. Let's hope the roads are good and the snow doesn't last very long. I want to be able to get out and shoot and I want the weather to warm up. I know its only the middle of January so there's still another whole bunch of snow and then some , lol but I can dream right? I am so very grateful for everyone's support in my photography and all your likes and effort you put in to show me you care. I want to thank each and everyone of you. My Facebook photography likes are drawing close to 300. Once I had hit 320 likes I will do a free mini session giveaway plus a print giveaway too. Once again thank you all and it's been my pleasure to photograph all of you and it will be my pleasure to photograph anyone else new in the future. I also want to thank my wonderful models who have been there helping me and supporting me through this whole process. Without the continued support of everyone none of this could be possible. I look forward to a long and prosperous future and I look forward to keeping in contact with all my past clients and meeting all my wonderful new clients.
I'm going to be giving away 2 family sessions. I'm in the giving spirit. I'd like them to go to very deserving families too.
What you need to do is leave a comment on this blog telling me what is special about your family, the best thing about your family and why you love your family so much. 2 families will be chosen for photo sessions. The families will receive an 8x10 and up to 20 digital images. I appreciate all my fans and all my clients very much. Thank you everyone for all your continued support. Moon Owl Photography Chanelle Gillespie Music is so powerful. It evokes so much emotion and feeling. Music is what keeps me going each day. I listen to music while cleaning the house or editing photos. Music is such a huge part of my daily life. Certain songs have certain meanings to a situation in my life. Happiness or sadness can be portrayed in a song or bring the feeling of emotions to your frame of mind at that time. Some of my favorites songs are so deep rooted in emotion and passion.
I love all different genres of music and can appreciate all the depths of each persons music. Some of my favorite artists are Jack White, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Placebo, Van Morrison, Otis Redding, The Killers, Alt-J, Queen, The Who, and so many more. In my mind as songs play I have a story going along with each song and then as more and more songs play I have comprised a whole life longs story in my head. I think music sets the mood and gives you that feeling as if you are the character in the story. It helps you interpret what is going on even more as an added piece of the whole picture. As a photographer I see a bigger picture with each individual photo I take. I can piece the story together in my mind. One thing I will be working on in the future and hopefully the near one, is a book of poetry or small stores and have photos and maybe some music to accompany them. My passions extend further out into writing as well as photography. I love writing and the free expression and I love doing that and carrying it out in my photographs as much as possible too. I have always wrote stuff since I was younger. In 8th grade I wrote a short story that was about 36 pages. I would work on it intensely everyday in history class for about 3 weeks. It was a tragic love story. Poetry I have written a lot of in high school. I use to write song lyrics too. I want to dive into my other passions more. Silently the wind comes creeping up through the branches of leaves, It whispers sweet love songs to the fair tree maiden, Her whole hearty tree trunk is filled with the seasons, As one passes and another enters, The green turns to brown, The leaves of passion are now dying, Falling down to the earth beneath her hearty trunk, Everything that once was is now gone and swept away, The now dark and bare branches have subcome to winters never ending chill, As seasons change once more, The wind whispers it's sweet love song, The tree is now filled with overwhelming joy, Love that once was has now come back, The golden rays shine down and the brown is now budding green, Everything returns back, In the circle of life, In the circle of love. |
