JaNicki Photography: January 2010

Up until now the only things I've posted on this blog have been images from my sessions. So I want to change that and introduce myself to those of you who don't know me. My name is Margaret and I'm in LOVE with the new venture in my life (Photography). I'm also a runner, a knitter, a sewer, a crocheter, a crafter, a Facebook junkie, lets just say I have way too many hobbies and I work full time. I used to blog a lot of useless info about running and knitting as "Runner with a Knitting Problem" but I don't have time for it anymore and will combine some of that stuff on this blog.

Bon Jovi is my favorite band of all time!!! And for some strange reason the only sport I watch on TV is the Tour de France, and only when Lance is participating. My favorite TV show right now is Modern Family and it almost makes me laugh as much as my favorite show of all time, The Golden Girls.

This past year I FINALLY got married to the man that I LOVE and have been with for 10 (yes I said 10) years. We had the sweetest little wedding where everyone invited not only RSVP'd but actually showed up (can you blame them, they've been waiting 10 years). Some came from as far as Poland, California, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and New Jersey. I, myself, am from Poland. I moved to the states when I was 12 and didn't speak a word of English (ok I knew one word "window"), I lived in New Jersey and Florida, and 11 years ago moved to Ohio.

My husband and I share our home with the sweetest, most handsome puppy, name Baci (means "kiss" in Italian), you might have seen him on the blog a couple two three times :o). We are both crazy in Love with him. We also have a cat name Coopie. My husband has his own masonry business and is an amazing artist (click here to become his fan on FB) and he makes me laugh. . . . a lot!

We are both so lucky to have the greatest friends and family in the world. My Mom is my biggest fan and I am hers!

I've always had a fascination for photography. And there was always a camera within arms reach. Prior to our wedding I played with the idea of starting a Photography Business. With the help of my friend Nong and Mike I decided to give it a shot. So in October, I started my adventure. It led me to photographing amazing places, interesting people, and awesome pets. My clients have been great to work with. Never in a million years did I think it would take off like this. So far it's been a wonderful journey. Just about everyone was a referral from a friend or a friend of a friend and I even had one Google client. All in all I did 2 weddings, 21 family, pet, baby or engagement sessions. This year is already starting to get booked and I'm just thrilled. New and exciting things are in store for 2010, stay tuned.

That's it in a nutshell.

See you in front of the camera!!
