That sounds like a tabloid headline, doesn't it? Sorry to disappoint but I don't have anything sordid to reveal. However, I am ready to share a pretty huge project that I've been working on for the better part of this year.
I seem to have started a business! On the one hand, I feel like I'm not quite sure how that happened. One minute (last January) I was just wondering about whether I could actually pull off a photography business and thinking I would "test the waters" in 2008. The next minute I was getting referrals from friends who let me do practice shoots on their children. As the snowball got bigger and bigger, I realized I needed a formal business in place.
Let me state the obvious -- starting a photography business is a whole heck of a lot of work which has nothing to do with the actual picture taking. Sitting here right now I am frankly amazed at what I've managed to accomplish in the past 6 months.
Now that my photography web site has launched, I feel official enough to share. I am truly at the beginning of this voyage but I'm really excited to see where it will lead.
I apologize for neglecting this blog lately. It has definitely taken a back seat to some of the other things going on around here. Once the dust settles a bit I have several sewing and paper projects waiting for me. Also stay tuned for a new blog I'm working on that will be focused on the photography side of my life.
WOW! Look out photography world, here comes HOPE HUDSON and she is SMOKIN'! Those shots are wonderful - if I had kids I'd hire you in a heartbeat! CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!

Oh my gosh, Hope. Your photographs are incredible. I wish you every success in this venture.
I've lost nearly thirty pounds and expect that the last thirty will be gone by February - maybe we can fly down and do a shoot with you. I'd love to get some contemporary family pictures.
You amaze me!
