I am so excited.  I signed with a modeling agency this week.  Persevere!  Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t succeed at dream. 

Again, I will never stop promoting Peter Ingemi’s radio talk show because without his compassion on a girl asking for a little help months ago, I may not be where I am now!  Thank you!  Click on the link below to see his site.

Do find a photographer that makes the most out of natural lighting.  Here a two super outdoor shots:

Don’t settle for average; that is unless you want average work!

Do take advantage of any photo opportunity no matter how ridiculous you think it might be.  Some of the best shots I seen of models are taken when it seems like they are just goofing around.

Don’t always pose; be natural.  This has taken me a little while to learn, but I think I am getting better at it.

That’s all for now!  Have a great weekend and don’t forget to listen in on 830am Radio tomorrow night at 10:00am (it seems he’s been promoted, haha) for THE best radio talk show host in Massachuetts…did I spell that right?  haha

Special guest will be:

Saturday Feb 12th 10:00 A.M. LIVE from CPAC in Washington DC w/ Roxeanne DeLuca in studio.

1.  Never give up, never surrender…I just love the movie Galaxy Quest for giving me that phrase!

2.  Know your goal; but don’t assume you will reach it right away.

3.  Ask for help!  There are people out their willing to take on a needy cause…and remember that is what you are until you achieve your goal!

4.  Remember your mom and dad’s favorite catch phrase when you were growing up…”Practice makes perfect.”  As much as we hate to admit it, our parents were right on this one.  I delve into magazines and practice facial expressions, makeup placement, and poses…it’s sort of like play acting, but eventually you’ll have your own style.

5.  Blog.  Get yourself out there.  I have had several responses for modeling job (some I get paid for, some are a trade off of time for photos for my portfolio…which gives their studio exposure.  Pick your friends wisely.

6.  Don’t ever forget those who helped you along the way:

Well, that’s all for this blog…more of what’s on my mind later!

Have a great one and visit www.datechguy.wordpress.com for some love.

I was recently asked to do some modeling for a photography studio.  Here are some of the latest works by Louise Stidham Photography.  I think she has done a great job!  More to come!

This is the second time this month that my families planned trip to New Mexico to visit our relatives has had to be cancelled because of snow falling in Flagstaff, Arizona all along the I-17 through I-40 into Alburqurque!  Wow!  It’s going to look like Christmas in our house until the snow melts and we can take all of these gifts there!  Oh well, no problem, I love this time of year!

I’m networking to get help…there are only two days left of the contest that I am in and I could really use your vote.

Hi, my name is Hallie and I have entered a Savvy Magazine photo shoot contest. I know you don’t know me but the winners are chosen by the public and if the public doesn’t know they need to vote…well, you guessed it, no one votes! Could you take a moment and look at my photos and decide if you would vote for me or not?

There are over 1000 of us trying to get to those top ten positions.  If you don’t think I am top ten material scroll through the small icons to the right of mine and pick one of those ladies!  One little click of your finger can help make somebodies dream a reality!   You can vote once a day, everyday until January 1st!  Thank You!

I’ve always had a little bit of a gambler in me. ..and I happen to be pretty good at poker.  So, I am placing a wager on your kindness going into the New Year. I bet  that you will click on my Savvy link below and vote for me.  I’m in college so I don’t have a lot of money, but if you get on PokerStars and look me up, we can play at the same table together!  You can even let me know in PokerStars comment box.  Yes, I’m pretty confident that I can beat you at poker; so here I am placing a bet on your generosity to click a couple of keys on your computer keyboard and then look me up online!  Have a great New Year!

I have spent a lot of time creating awareness of myself and the contest I am in.  Luckily for all of you, the contest only has two more days left to it!  Here’s one of the sites I used for advice in my quest for getting myself looked at by the public.

“Another way to spark interest for your products is to conduct a campaign designed to promote your products in as many ways as possible. In other words, your marketing strategy could be to create buzz by blanketing the local airwaves, print space, and other advertising mediums with your name, logo, and products. Increased awareness will definitely bring more people into your store, but it also costs money, so you should be prepared to increase your advertising budget to pull it off. ”  – www.gaebler.com

So, on with my reason for writing today…I’m networking to get help…

Chris Brogan continues to educate us on how to network online with some bonus suggestions which I have included in this blog. His entire article can be found at: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/starting-points-for-online-presence/

 

“Bonus Round

If you’re feeling like you want to participate even more, you’ll need these:

• **UPDATE** FriendFeed is a way to aggregate your presence and that of your friends online. Suggested by Ontario Emperor
• Digg and StumbleUpon and del.icio.us accounts – Use social bookmarking communities to share things you like, to find things you’re interested in, and to grow a social view of news and information.
• Upcoming.org for events to attend in this space.
• Flickr account – (which is technically now a Yahoo! account, as is del.icio.us.) This is for photo sharing, and gives you an easy place to put your pictures on the web.
• Skitch account – for screen captures, should you want to post a picture off your computer screen simply.
• PayPal account – for easy financial transactions used by many websites.
• **UPDATE** Plaxo for contact management. – Recommended by Susan Beebe. “

There is only two days left to vote for the  contest that I have entered! It is really up to you guys who wins since it is a public vote!  We would all appreciate your help…although I would love for you to vote for me! Please check out the link below my photo!

 I blog because it is the only way I can market the contest I am in.  So far, it has worked marvelously for me!  I have gone from 656th place to 7th place!  I am hoping to get about 2000 more votes!  And there are only 3 (count them) days left until the contest is over!

According to Chris Brogan at: http://www.chrisbrogan.com/starting-points-for-online-presence/  the best networking choices begin with:

“Take a reasonably decent photo of yourself for an avatar pic. Size it to 100×100 pixels if you can. (most services want this as a default). If you’re shy off the bat, put something more fun than your corporate logo.

Twitter – Be sure to add your nifty new photo. Then, if you don’t already have friends on Twitter, check the public timeline to see who’s doing something interesting, or check out Twitter Packs for some starting people to follow.

WordPress.com Account – Even if you eventually choose another blogging platform, building a WordPress.com presence means that you get an OpenID account, a place to build a profile for lots of the popular blogging platforms (I recommend getting a Blogger/Google account for that reason, too), and also a potential “scratch blog” for putting up ideas that might not fit your larger presence.

Facebook profile – There are millions of people using Facebook (and even more on MySpace). It’s a good place to build an account that tells people more about yourself, and as an outpost for your blog (add your RSS feed to Facebook through one of many 3rd party apps that will re-post it there), which all goes towards establishing your reputation online. “

I blog on WordPress.com because it is the only way I can market the contest I am in.  So far, it has worked marvelously for me!  I have gone from 656th place to 7th place!  I am hoping to get about 2000 more votes!  And there are only 3 (count them) days left until the contest is over!
