Gearing up to do my first ever Bridal Fair tomorrow! So much preparation...and I committed just a couple weeks ago.
I am so excited to meet engaged ladies and chat with them about their plans for their wedding day. It was a blast when I was planning mine and so thrilled to be a part of others' excitement as well.
I will have a super fabulous offer for brides and grooms to be at my booth tomorrow at the Radisson in Manchester, NH, you don't want to miss it! Also, if you need a ticket, I have a few passes. Just email me at Debbie@debbieellisphotos.com and I will give you a couple. Lots of other fabulous vendors and giveaways as well! Be sure to be there, it's 11-3, right before the Patriot's game...perfect timing. :)
Can't wait to meet you! Be sure to share this with all the engaged couples you know in New England!

Thank You for a Fabulous 2011
As 2011 ended, I was pleased with my accomplishments. I started the year by going to PPA's Imaging USA in San Antonio and continued my investment in education though the year. The highlight being the New England Institute of Professional Photography in April, forty hours of hands on learning on Cape Cod was amazing!
From that point on, things really started happening...working with happy families (mostly), awesome newborns, more dancers, high school seniors and even some weddings! Onto the fall minis, Santa, and family sessions for holiday cards. Also, I connected with a great corporation that hired me to do commercial work for them. Photoshop, which has been a thorn in my side for years, I learned enough to create over 1500 photo cards this past season. That is an accomplishment for me!
So, I look back with such gratitude for awesome people that I worked with and hope to continue working with in the future. It's so fun to meet such nice people celebrating happy times in their lives. I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to make this career happen!
Thank you to you and you and you...everyone who has shared this ride with me! xoxo I am grateful for everyone who has touched me and my business in 2011 and look forward to 2012 with high expectations for myself and my business.

Happy New Year! 2012 is going to ROCK!
I love the possibilities of the New Year. Clean slate, great new energy, so much to look forward to! About a week ago, when wrapping Christmas gifts, I started thinking about creating specific goals to achieve for the year. Suddenly, I get excited, butterflies and all on what I plan to make happen. My brain goes all adhd and I am all over the place (not much different from my daily life...but perhaps more intense).
Here are a few I am ready to commit to:
1. Starting January 2nd with a three week cleanse, only healthy food in, no sugar, no vino, no kidding.
This will be the first step to recreating my healthy body...I need a jumpstart and am going to fit back into all of my cute clothes in my closet. I have seen a variety of health practitioners; the last of which has taken seven viles of my blood to see what is really going on. My next appointment is 1/10. Hoping to hear all is well, and if not, to get things back in balance.
2. Business (much more to follow and my goals do have specific steps...just don't want to bore you)
Booking at least three weddings in 2012 where I am the lead Photographer. Never doing more than one in a month.
Growing my Newborn Business with partnerships; goal is 24 Newborn shoots in 2012.
Attend NEIPP again in April to continue with my education...never stop learning and growing.
Connect with more corporate clients and grow that side of my business.
3. Keeping positive; surrounding myself with positive people who inspire growth.
4. Spirituality; keeping focus on gratitude and regular prayer.
5. Family first. Always.
It helps me to type these out. There are more to come, but now I need to do some work in the garage. My adhd continues as I step away from the computer only to come back later and try to finish something! :)

Beautiful Ladies and Beautiful Lighting
One of the many fun parts of what I do is learning...and working with other Photographers. Dan Doke, a Photographer from Massachusetts, invited us on a Photo Safari to learn about some lighting techniques. What a great way to spend an afternoon. Beautiful sisters letting us capture their beauty.

Loving High School Seniors!
Honestly, I wasn't so sure about working with High School peeps. I am used to relating to little ones low to the ground...but it has been such a lovely surprise to be so wonderful and rewarding. I made a mom cry today as she looked at her baby's photos. We have found some beautiful spots to venture to together and I look forward to many more!
And, any senior (or junior!) who works with me and refers others, earns $20 per referral of a booked session. A nice little bonus for spreading the word for both of us! :) Click here to contact me about senior photos in Southern NH and Northern MA!

Lindsie and Paul are Married!
A beautiful sunny July day in Meredith, New Hampshire, right next to Lake Winniepesaukee, a sweet couple said "I do". I was lucky to be able to help a friend in capturing all the magic of the day.
