Photo blogging

I am going to try to be MUCH better at photo blogging. Things have been so hectic these days. If I'm not working at my day job, I am taking care of my 3 babes. And if I'm not doing either of those things, I am either at a photo shoot or processing photos. I certainly keep myself busy these days.

Photography is going very well for me. I am portfolio building, which basically means I am do photo shoots for friends without charging a sitting/retainer/location fee. I am shooting, practicing, processing, shooting, practicing, processing. It consumes every spare moment I have. Every weekend I have at least 1 photo session booked and the week evenings (after the kids go to bed) are dedicated to processing those photos. It's a very busy job, but I truly love it. I read somewhere once that if you TRULY love what you do, you will be successful. Everything will come into place. Well I truly love everything about photography. I love researching new ideas, poses, and locations. I love shooting the baby, child, teen, or family - capturing every little moment (especially those unforeseen moments that are even better than posed shots). And I love going home after a shoot and processing photos on my computer for hours on end - trying to get the best possible image for my clients. It is a very rewarding experience for me personally. To see the expression on a mother's face when she sees the images of her baby for the first time is priceless.

Hopefully one day I will be more than just a part time photographer. Until then, I will keep practicing and practicing some more. ;)
