Things have been stupid busy, but despite things being stupid busy--business wise, I'm still just barely keeping myself out of being broke. Recent vet bills with my dog (around $4000), a new computer ($1300), and my chronic pain meds ($340/month), let's face it--my financial situation is not the best. Even with the boatload of work--I didn't even have enough money to go grocery shopping. ~laughs~ Never thought the words "starving artist" would apply to me--because my work covers everything from advertising, graphic design, flyers, wedding/family/baby photography, photomanipulation and even more traditional art (painting/drawing tattoo designs, etc). Thankful I have good friends (who randomly, despite me not saying a word), swung by over the past week, bringing me food otherwise I think this whole not having money for groceries would have been a whole lot worse than it could have been. Am super grateful, for super awesome friends. <3
I'm really quite content and only have one client tomorrow -- but we are -bartering- instead of him paying me for work. Whaddya know, "Will Work For Food" is my motto right now! lol

COVID is a BITCH
COVID has fucked me right up. I haven't posted much of anything because I've literally been sleeping and writing a book. I've lost my work because people don't need photographers when you can't get close to people.
I like to write
I rarely get a chance to -- but thanks to the broken ankle, I've had an opportunity to get into short stories again, which are my favourite thing to write. Rarely over a page, so they never take up much time. I don't have a lot of viewers when it comes to my art -- but if you read, I'm on Tumblr (I spent forever looking for the right site to use -- and Tumblr is failing pretty miserably -- but it has the space, so I figured I'd write there) under a pen name. https://emily-charles.tumblr.com/ If you have tumblr - or even if you don't I guess, take a look and see if my short stories, or writing style is of any interest to you. I'm also taking a TON of my old stories and power-posting, so I have a place to keep them. There's a lot of short little stories.
Devious Journal Entry
I've been working so much as your typical photographer lately (sorry for not updating my page, it simply takes so long!) -- that I'm really out of practice when it comes to photomanipulations. Albeit this month -- I've got a TON of photomanipulations to get done for clients -- so lets hope I can get back into practice REALLY quickly. <3 I have to fix the legs on Tempestas, do a maternity floating image, a faun, a viking, and two more goddess-style images for clients. And this isn't including the other photoshoots I have to do this month. <3 Wish me luck - I'm going to need it!

Why do I need a second shooter?
So your wedding is coming up. The most miraculous day of two lives joining together, and I offer you two separate prices. One for a solo shooter (myself), and the second for myself and a second shooter. I promise you, I am aware that two photographers costs more than one – but let me tell you WHY we offer that, and why I will insist upon the latter.
Lately, I’ve experienced a phenomenon which I’ve come to refer to as the iPhone Photographers. Your friends, family, guests and the like, have a tendency to hop into the middle of the aisle and use their Nikon Coolpix/iPhone/Android to try and video or photograph the event for s
