Snapshot of Your Photographer #2

Image
By

Here is another photo to tell you a little more about myself! 

First, this was taken on my phone in between sessions on Sunday. It was hot out...super hot. I just needed a place to sit and cool off. I tend to book my schedule back to back, so having a free moment is rare, but often very needed
So what can you learn about me from this photo?



1. ipad. I'm almost always plugged in. Whether its by smartphone or ipad. It took me a while to get into the smartphone craze, but I realized my need when I missed a photography appointment last winter. I'd never forgotten about an appointment before, and haven't since! That was the shove I needed to get the smartphone when my client was attempting to contact me through facebook. 

2. Coffee. I'm a big coffee drinker. Rarely is it ever Scooters (this just happened to be the closest place in between sessions) but my coffee of choice is Starbucks. I worked as a Barista at Starbucks through law school and I'm hooked. Starbucks was also probably one of my favorite jobs ever....and I've worked a lot of different jobs in my 26 years.  

3. Reading. I love to read, but only read fantasy, classics or business/financial books. I've read all the Jane Austen books, most of Suze Orman books, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and just about any 5th grade reading level fantasy book that comes across my mother's desk at school with her stamp of approval. That being said, I prefer hard copy books, not electronic books. This was an unusual circumstance. I'll admit I love the convenience of checking books out from the library via an ipad. 

4. ipad cover. You may not be able to tell, but its a TOMS flag cover. I love Toms because they are so super comfy and for a good cause (also shown in photo are my feet with my very worn brown toms). Almost every client will see me wearing Toms to my session, as I love photographing in something that lets me move around a lot. Back to the cover, I revamped my old cover my sewing a toms flag over it since it was falling apart. Yet another example of my love of crafts! 

5. Small fossil purse. I absolutely love fossil, since the 7th grade you won't see me without a fossil watch on (even shown in photo). This purse cracks me up because I've attempted the daring task of learning to live out of a small purse. I was known for carrying anything from a cardigan, to a can of pop, a spare point-and-shoot camera and all of the above in my purse without realizing it. There were many times where my husband would see me pull out a bag of cheez-its or a can of pop while we were out, and I hadn't even realized I'd been carrying food around for 3 days.  I was the infamous "soccer mom" without the soccer or mom :) 

Hope you enjoyed learning a little more about your photographer!

I love that so many of my clients come back to me time and time again for more photos, and its been so much fun getting to know so many of you. I'd like to share a little more about your photographer! I'm hoping to give you a snapshot into my life on a more regular basis, and use it to tell you more about myself! Here we go!  So here is where the photo processing magic happens. My husband is a graphic designer, and with my need for perfected photo editing we share the Mac when it comes to our work projects.  So this is our work place.  I'll use this photo to tell you a little more about ourselves.  1. We love our cat. We got Lady Grey about a year ago, she was a stray that the Humane Society picked up. We fell in love right when we saw her. It took a few days to name her, but because of our love of Twinning tea...we went with Lady Grey. She has such a strong personality, and so naughty! Our photography business and our etsy page is both named aft...

Photography 101

I love photography, and I love how accessible digital SLR cameras are now. So many families now have good cameras, but don't know how to use them without Auto! Learning to take photos on Manual mode will change your photography dramatically, and you'll be able to tell the difference quickly!  I'm now offering one-on-one classes for just $35. If you want to bring a friend, together it will be just $55 for the two of you! If you're a mom or dad and want to bring a couple kids along for your model, go ahead! Its a great opportunity to take a few photos of the kiddos! How does it work? We will meet at a park, home, etc. and discuss a few of the basics and you can get going! I'll walk you through things you may have questions about and give you some great tools to keep learning and practicing!  What will you learn? I go over a few of the basics with you. We talk about ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. We will discuss light and the basics to making the most ...

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :)  I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work!
