Here’s the Reader’s Digest version of what’s been going on with me:
I had my sunroom redone because of water damage. Ended up being a bigger job than expected, but luckily the insurance covered it. Phew! Major kudos to the guys
from Allcraft Home Improvement especially Sam! They were wonderful!

Went Hot Air Balloon Chasing With Wendy

And Sunset Chasing With Chris

Did Some Sessions Out at Lockwood Lavender Farm despite the heat and humidity although I did have to reschedule a couple of times. Once due to heat and once due to wind. All didn’t go perfectly, but I learned a lot for sure.

Got Some Swimming In. Was a perfect summer for that! I miss my pool. If you know me at all, you know I despise cold weather so you didn’t hear me complaining about the heat this summer.

Made The Cover of Plank Road Magazine And Was The Featured Entrepreneur For The WISE Center In The September Issue Of Syracuse Woman Magazine! My first cover and first time being featured in an article. Thank you Plank Road and  WISE Ctr and Syracuse Woman!

Shipped My Youngest Off To College, and He Seems to Be Adjusting Well
Judging By How Little I Hear From Him. He claims he’s very busy with classes and homework, which I mostly believe. He’s a very smart and hardworking young man, and I’m very proud of him, but I do miss him quite a lot.

And sadly my sisters and brother and I said our final goodbye our mom on September 15th. She was 89 Years Old and One Tough Cookie! Still trying to get used to her really being gone. She usually made faces whenever she saw a camera pointing at her, but thankfully I was vigilant and managed to get several wonderful images of her throughout the years.

I’m so glad I took this picture.

So there’s been some ups and there’s been some downs, but I’m still standing because I’m my mother’s daughter and also one tough cookie!

If you are selling your home or are a realtor and need some professional images of your listings, please contact me.

Here is a collage of some of the images. I’ll be putting them on my website for a better view soon.

Crazy for Canvas Wraps!

Yes, tonight I finally realized why I haven’t hung any of my framed images in my living room. I’ve hung them in other parts of the house, but the walls in that room remained bare and lifeless. I was moving the furniture around making room for the Christmas tree we’ve yet to get and decided to hang a few images since I had the couches away from the walls making it easier to pound in nails. Had the ones chosen and everything… then I went to pound the nail and realized I couldn’t hang this heavy framed photo above the couch. What if it fell on someone or something? My son, a cat, me!? I wasn’t willing to take the chance. These are heavy with very pointed corners. Serious injury could result! Luckily I had two canvas wraps available that go perfectly on those walls. No worries of them falling and hurting someone. They are lightweight so even if they did fall, there’s a slight risk of it hurting someone. I’ve been on a canvas wrap craze lately. Besides being light in weight eliminating the need to locate a stud in the wall, the colors and texture of the material enhance the image immensely. There is no glass to break or get smudged with fingerprints, and no glare! The canvas is stretched over a box frame continuing the image along the sides giving a gallery effect. Widths of .75″, 1.5″ and 2″ are available. I’m partial to the 1.5″ one. Any size is possible from very large to make a bold statement or you could group several smaller ones for a cool wall collage that can be rearranged on a whim because they are so easy to hang and move. Any type image looks fabulous made into a canvas wrap. Anything from pets to people to landscapes to macros of flowers. Anything at all. Here are some examples, but to really appreciate them, you must see them in person. More can be seen on my website Janet Lee Photography I’d love to know what you think. Have you ever worried about framed images falling and hurting someone?
