quinceañera

Met a friend at a lake that is very popular and thus very busy. SO MANY PHOTO SHOOTS. At least one, probably two, quinceañeras. One bridal shoot. One informal happy 40th birthday shoot. 

Went to ANOTHER church and they would like to host - between now and the next church hosting - which is awesome because they have farmer’s markets in their parking lots on Saturdays and thus lots of people to come by and see. I won’t be there. I’ll be there to move the pictures and hang the pictures and then I’m off on another work trip that may last the entire month. 

Speaking of, Namibia sounds incredible. There is a desert park that has stunning visuals. If you stay in the one hotel in the park you can take amazing star pictures with stunning desert foregrounds
But if you don’t stay in that hotel you aren’t allowed in the park at night
but the hotel in the park 
Costs
Omg
I think it costs $3000 a night. 
That is $3000 not $300.00
I kept checking because surely I was doing the conversion wrong. 
But
Ok then
Never mind.
