A new addition to my family....

I am SOOOOOO excited! Since I am done with school, I have decided that it is time for a puppy!

I found the perfect little girl for me. She is only 5 weeks old, so I have to wait 3 more weeks before I can bring her home. I am calling her Alfie! Looks like I better have plenty of chew toys!

HALLELUJAH....I am done!

Saturday, January 16, 2010 was the end of a successful completion on my MBA. It was a wonderful day and I was surrounded by my family.

Thank you, Lord, Deb, Terrasa & Kristin...I could not have done it without you!

It has been a while....

A lot has happened since my last post. My mom passed away in January, a few weeks later, my car was stolen, and now I am buying a house! WHEW! I get tired just writing all that.

In the midst of packing and moving, I had my first photo shoot of the year with my first Canon...EOS 5D Mark II. It was a miserable day, overcast, rainy and cold. I actually love shooting portraits on overcast days...the light is very soft. I am still not completely comfortable with it yet, but I took it out for my shoot anyway. Here are a few of the results:

Logo Design

I have finally completed my logo...

I wanted something that was simple, yet elegant. I looked at lots of photos of black swans, but did not really see what I wanted. I did find clip art that I was able to modify to meet my needs...

What do you think?

Welcome to Black Swan Media Services

Black swan is a metaphor for something that could not exist. Nassim Nicholas Talib, in his book "The Black Swan" shares that at one time, the Western world though that all swans were white. Therefore, something that does not exist was referred to as a black swan. Imagine their surprise when they found that black swans were native to parts of Australia.

Why choose Black Swan as a name for a business? Because we want to go beyond your expectations. We want to be a business that truly listens to our clients and give them more than they expect. When so many business attempt to find ways to cut costs and give you as little as possible, we want to be the black swan...giving you first-class service and products that go beyond your expectations.
