New Backgrounds!! Hawaii Photography

Posted by U`ilani Friedman Wednesday, January 27, 2010

So, I have been on Oahu for a few months now and I need to build my clientele here. I don't have much $$$$ for advertising. We moved to Oahu so that my husband can further his studies at UH Manoa. He is studying to be a Nurse Practitioner. The program is 3 years and during the first year he is not allowed to work. So, we are having to pinch every penny. No money for advertising makes it difficult to grab new clientele where nobody knows you~ I really rely heavily on networking through facebook, friends and family.

Which brings me to my new backgrounds. Since I don't have much I find ways to work around my financial crunch. Well backgrounds are very expensive, so is a backdrop stand, both of which I do not have. I need to be creative at this point, right? Right! So, I bought a Commercial Grade Garment Rack for $60.00. I found these great backgrounds like the one shown here with my always beautiful model, Patience! Believe it or not these are from Kmart..............cost $14.00each and this is the first one out of three that I bought..............and the best part is ???????> THEY ARE SHOWER CURTAINS!!

SUCCESS I THINK ;~) Tell me what you think......These images were taken in my home, with natural lighting, no flash and edited with CS3.

........the possibilities are endless~~~~~~~~Check back tomorrow for my 2nd background and images to post! A hui hou

Recap of 2009 and Hello to 2010!!!!!

Posted by U`ilani Friedman Thursday, January 7, 2010

2009 in one word, "WOWZERS!". It has flown right by and I have been truly blessed. My family is the best! They support what I love to do , which is .......... be a wife to my husband, a mother to my children and have the best job in the world! My sisters have also been such a great support network for me..........they don't hesitate when I ask for their assistance on shoots! I am grateful and love them for that!

One of the things on my list to work on is updating this blog as often as I can! This is a recap of the wonderful people I have had the pleasure of meeting for the first time, friends & family I haven't seen in ages and my life all wrapped up into this one post for 2009.

Thank you for allowing me to do what I love and believing in me and my work! I truly enjoyed capturing your lives on camera. This is a long one, so sit back, r e l a x & ENJOY!
