To see them in their unmodified state, please view the original post by <a href="http://blog.kimberly-mitchell.com/archives/1086">clicking here</a>.</strong></em></p><p>Well, last month I told you that I only had two open slots left before I left Okinawa. Those were filled and I have sadly been turning people away until I know what is going to happen in July. Namely, in what country might my address be. Yesterday, the family scheduled for May 15th called to let me know they are leaving this week for a family emergency so they need to cancel. So, I have been weighing the allure of sleeping in on a Saturday morning and taking a vacation day against giving someone out there the chance at what could be my last session in Okinawa. I figure I&#8217;ll put it out here and just let fate decide. </p>
<p>And this little guy really has nothing to do with my post at all, but I just never got around to sharing his session from a few weeks ago so I figured I&#8217;d kill two birds with one stone!<br /><p></p>

But with this new blog, I&#8217;m turning over a new leaf. I&#8217;m going to start blogging more often and about more things. Come on, you believe me, right?</p>
<p>While I&#8217;m here, let me go ahead and answer a question I&#8217;ve been getting a lot lately. How much longer are you here? Good question. As of now, we are slated to be out of here THIS JULY. What this means is that I can not book any sessions in Okinawa past this spring. I have TWO openings left: April 3 &#038; June 26.</p>
<p>So, now that that&#8217;s out of the way, what should I blog about next&#8230;.?</p>

To see them in their unmodified state, please view the original post by <a href="http://blog.kimberly-mitchell.com/archives/423">clicking here</a>.</strong></em></p><p>My apologies for being so completely absent from this blog lately! I&#8217;ve got a pile of sessions to share with you and something NEW I think you&#8217;ll be excited about but first, I just wanted to post a quick note about where I&#8217;ve been this past week. I was fortunate enough to get to spend a few days with these four fabulous women:</p>
<p></p>
<p>From left to right, <a href="http://www.alwphotography.com/">Audrey Woulard</a>, <a href="http://www.tamaralackeyblog.com/">Tamara Lackey</a>, <a href="http://www.lauranovak.com/">Laura Novak</a>, and <a href="http://www.lenahyde.com/">Lena Hyde</a>.</p>
<p>They are talented photographers at the top of their industry, but more importantly, they are all smart, strong, savvy women whose energy is infectious. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I&#8217;ve ever had. They overflowed my brain with knowledge and now I have a LOT of work to do! But I am not complaining in the least. One of their suggestions was to keep this blog updated more often&#8211; so let&#8217;s call this post the beginning of a new leaf. Ha!</p>
<p>Expect many changes over the next few months. I have so many new ideas to work out. Keep watching the blog&#8211; you&#8217;re going to love it!</p>

<p>You may know my lovely assistant <a href="http://okistephie.wordpress.com/">Stephanie</a> also runs own hair salon and it is certainly keeping her busy! No wonder since she&#8217;s such a fabulous stylist! But, as both of our businesses grow, we&#8217;ve hit some of those proverbial growing pains, and well, she just doesn&#8217;t have enough hands. So, I&#8217;m on the lookout for some more help. It&#8217;s just a few hours a week for now. Not a huge committment. I&#8217;d love to say it could turn into more down the road, but one step at a time. Anyway, here&#8217;s my wishlist:</p>
<p>1. Someone computer savvy with a good understanding of Photoshop, Lightroom, and CD burning.<br />
2. Someone willing to drive to Yomitan twice a week.<br />
3. Someone who is available for 2-3 hours on Tuesday or Wednesday.<br />
4. Someone who is detail oriented.<br />
5. Someone who is a self-starter.</p>
<p>Sound like you or someone you know? Drop me a note telling me why you&#8217;re perfect for me!</p>
