Weekend Photographer

I am a mom during the week, but when Mr. Mom takes the kids to grandma Deb's {or gets locked upstairs with the kids} this is how I spend my weekends…






An average weekend is 1-3 appointments at 1-3 hours each, plus another 2-5 hours of editing per session.  And I have to get it all done in the weekend cuz my kids H-A-T-E me on the computer…they won't allow it, especially Tate.  Then during the week I am answering customer emails on my blackberry, customizing pictures, sorting orders, sending in lab orders and finally packaging and mailing.  




I take maternity, newborns, babes and kids…no weddings, no seniors…I am already to my limit with my current clients…just ask Ryan.  



I have a simple studio, a simple lens and simple lighting…

I lay, climb, crawl, squat, kneel…you name it I'll do it to get the right camera angle…
( I am totally wiped out after an appointment)



 It's not about the length of your lens or how much your fancy equipment cost, it's about capturing moments like this…





The secret to taking pictures of babies and children is to think of it like fishing, if you are very patient and set the right bait…you will catch something special...
