Youa Vang – Missoula’s Choice Local Photographer 2010

Missoula's Choice Local Photographer - Specializing in Weddings, Events, and Portrait Photography!

Fav from today's unexpected shoot with me and pearls and yes, the red lipstick. Not my usual look but I had a great time shooting myself because my 12 o'clock cancelled. - If only I was a size two, this would've been a great pin-up shoot opp for me. lol. thanks for viewing.

Figuring out the weekend

I was sitting here this afternoon wondering what took up my weekend and why it flew by like a breeze and realized that I had spent a whole work day at the Missoula Women Symposium yesterday.

It was a great event; I’ve been going to it for the last four years, and enjoy attending every year and networking with new and old people in town, especially a great place to network with other women and women owned businesses.

Julie Powell was the guest speaker, and boy was she silly. She would like the claim that she’s not much of a talker or anything but like one of the commenters said yesterday, she could easily become a comedian because she has that quality of someone who’s able to make joke out of their real life experience. I don’t know much about comedians but I do know that they bring a lot of themselves to the stage and that’s what makes their content so funny.

I enjoyed mostly the workshop on Disadvantage Business Entreprises and look forward to getting certified within the year here or so that I can get some of the benifits that one will get with that. There’s no real special treatmeant in getting certified as we heard yesterday, but there are other businesses who are out there looking out to help these DBEs so it won’t hurt me to get that in.

Then I danced the night away with some lovely ladies who were in town for the syposium from Bozeman. We were quite silly on the dance floor at… yes, 9 o’clock. lol – but the night came and went and the true realization that we’re getting to old for this did come and so we left at 11, when the party started for most young folks.

Me & Pearls!

Then what did I do? Oh yes – today my 12 o’clock TF shoot cancelled on me. She’s done this to me about three times now I think, so I think that I’m just not going to try and shoot with her next time unless she’s super serious. That’s the thing with TF shoots, you’ll run into some people who aren’t really serious and are a waste of your time. grr.

But I took advantage of the fact that I had all my equip ready, and dolled myself up to do a couple of test shots of this new foundation/powder thing that I’ve been meaning to test. It’s pretty sweet, although after having admire my photos all day – I do notice that I need something to cover up the bags under my eyes. lol.. no laughing, only I could laugh.

Then I went to a birthday party for a 5 year old this afternoon. Had some Khobpoob and eggrolls and burned it off with a hike up Jumbo. It wasn’t that bad then afterall, if that gal would’ve came in for the TF shoot then I would’ve wanted to come home and edit my afternoon away but the hike was a much needed get away!!

Soua & Nou’s little bundle of joy

Ber and I drove out to Spokane today to see him. He was born yesterday at 5-6am time frame. Little guy couldn’t wait to come out into the world so decided to come couple weeks early. He can’t leave the hospital until a couple weeks or so because he hasn’t matured (internally I believe) to understand how to eat. lol. So the little line you see tucked into his nostrils is a little feeding tool. He also doesn’t have enough body fat yet to sustain his body so he’ll likely freeze unless kepted in their little heating incubator thing. Anyways, just wanted to share pics from our day. Long drive back to get to work.. grr. Luckily no work tomorrow. MLK day, but you know – the Newspaper never closes, it’s just that I worked the weekend shift that I get it off. Nighty night.

Day of the Dead Parade

Missoula is so weird and cultured in its own way! Have never went out to this event before because of weather conditions or prior engagements but tonight I was free so stepped out to it and wow – it’s great fun and what a great turnout.

I keep thinking about I wish I had kids to bring to these things because I bet they’d enjoy it so much.. ahah – what’s wrong with me? I have a case of the maternal ticking clock! ahah.

I think I have to learn some more night time shooting techniques outdoors, after tonight’s night out. I keep thinking that a flash would do but I know that the tripod brings a better sense of the atmosphere and then I try and incorporate both and still it isn’t the best. To top it off – there were lots of moving subjects and no ceilings to bounce light off of. Back to the drawing board it is.
