As you can probably tell by my lack of blogging, I got very busy with work. I spent around 3 hours commuting to and from work each day, which meant that I had little time for myself and anyone around me too. I had a great time at work and learned so much about photography, editing workflow, lighting and so much more. I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of such a valuable experience, and a big thanks goes to my parents, because without their support it would not have been possible. Through work, I discovered a passion I have for working in the studio, and I will definitely keep that in mind when looking for a future job.
Last week, my family and I rented a cottage in Stokes Bay (on the Bruce Peninsula) to take time away from lives and relax. It was also a celebration of Emma completing her last exams of university for good, and also me completing work. We made several day trips to Tobermory and its gorgeous beaches —both sandy and rocky, and also spent a lot of time at the cottage playing games.
I am also hard at work revamping my website. At work, I learned a lot about portfolios and the importance of keeping a professional portfolio website available which represents who you are as a brand. I will keep my current photography blog and Word Art Wednesdays, which I am in the process of moving over to a Blogspot site. I enjoy Blogspot much better than Wordpress because it is much more customizable with headers and fonts. Under www.rebeccadost.com will be a new portfolio site which is clean and simple. I have a mockup below of how I hope it turns out:
In a nutshell, that's what's been going on in my life. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and I hope you have all been enjoying your summers too!
