Quoting ~*Icat*~:" isn't it awesome? I love mine. and it breaks down SO nicely. Apparently I'll be doing another newborn shoot at the beginning of next week."

I need a bag to transport in! Hmm.

Quoting Legendary Bonnie Beaver:" Nice! Did they cut the pipe? I need to do this one payday."

Yep. I marked it off and the guy cut it for me. He was so confused as to what I was making. Lmao

Quoting awesomebrandi:" That was my question.. can you travel with that thing?"

It doesn't screw in or anything. It's just straight fittings so it just pulls apart.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" That was my question.. can you travel with that thing?"

yup! my husband labeled each part and at the corners nad intersections they just connect in. Super easy and very light weight. My husband wants to make a bag for it. lol. he's so cute.

How did he label it? The only thing I did was wrote the length on them. Lol

I was gonna do a free newborn session for a couple who's husband just got laid off but they live two hours away.  

Quoting Michael Westen:" How did he label it? The only thing I did was wrote the length on them. Lol"

he wrote "top width" "middle width" floor width" "left back height" "right back height" etc.

That's really nice!!

I'm doing tomorrows shoot for free because I thought they were struggling and now the mom is talking about buying my Elite collection which is $700.

I don't know if I should be annoyed or happy about it! Lol

A lot of people are magically struggling when it comes to paying for photos.

they just aren't a "necessity"

Yeah I am not doing nicey nice anymore. I know that sounds mean but I have mouths to feed too.

There's nothing mean about not letting people take advantage of you.

Give them an inch and they will walk all over you!

I know! I just feel so bad when I can't just give the world everything! Lmao. I shouldn't though. I'm still trying to run a business.

By nature I am an extremely giving person. I was just born that way. I will give to people when I barely have anything of my own, and I have many times in my life. But, unfortunately, when it comes to a BUSINESS it just gets you a bad rep in a way. Trust me, there are times I still have a hard time saying no.. but I have had to learn the hard way. Even now I really want to do a charity session in December but I just don't know when I could afford the time to give away a free session. Sigh.
