Not that I needed anything else to consume my time, but hey- it sounded fun. =)
Now to the interesting stuff! After patiently waiting for what seemed like forever,
my WONDERFULL hubby helped me get studio
lighting & equipment for my photography. YAY!!!
For the past year, I've repeatedly told my clients that I was an 'on location photographer.'
It feels great to be able to invite people to my studio. I wanted a studio for several reasons:
1) fashion photography.
I've always loved taking pictures of models and their awesome outfits,
so naturally when I met the creator of Ella Phante Phashion, I was thrilled!
I knew then that I would get to shoot modeling photography alot more often..
and what better way to do so than with our own mini fashion studio right in my apartment.
2) stock photography
I take stock photos for myself all the time.
If I want to sell something on etsy, or if my boss at work
needs a picture of a new item- I'm already there.
But I'd like to start taking stock photos on a more professional level.
Studio lighting will make that SOOO much easier.
I'm currently doing the stock photos for an entire website that sells spa products.
...and as pay, I get to keep the scrumptious scented products that I photograph. ;) woo!
3) infant portraits
So, my friend Brittany is having a baby.
I want to expand my portfolio by taking newborn photos.
I hear they're tiring, frustrating, and durn near impossible...
but the shots you get are worth their weight in gold.
I think I can do it. I have a maternity shoot with brittany the end of march,
and a newborn session soon after baby drake lee is born. It's practice,
so it's a free shoot- but If it works out who knows where I'll go from there.
Well, I've unloaded my brain for today.
On a side note, I can't wait until our next fashion shoot!
It's feb. 6th, and apparently the look I have to pull of is 'sunny rainbow.'
SOOoooo... I hand painted this wooden bangle to match my rainbow-ness for the shoot.
Hope you like it heather. =)
