So it is now official. I am no longer a “be all things to all people, shoot anyone photographer”! I have discovered in my photography, over the past two years, that I am passionate about photographing some things in particular. Pregnant women, births, and little ones just light up my desire to photograph and create. I have grown a lot in these areas and have decided that in order to really perfect my skills in this niche the best thing to do is to shoot these clients exclusively. In the past I have taken any photography jobs I could get to help pay the bills, get all the experience that I possibly could and to see what niche I loved the most. Now I have found it. And now that I am staying busy shooting with these clients I am officially making the switch in my business (which by the way is officially part of Taco Lamp, LLC with Brian videography and design business). I have loved the brides I have worked with and I have one more wedding this month, but after that my weddings will be mainly events where I am hired to second shoot for another photographer or imagine this: ones where I am just a guest! This is not to say that I will not ever shoot a bride or senior again, but it is to say that I will be very selective ,and will be doing a lot of referring to other photographers who are great wedding and senior photographers and have passions for those specific clients. And this brings me to my website. My dear husband Brian hand coded my website, mainly because I am picky and hate Flash sites that take forever and a day to load and force me to open them in a new window and blare annoying copyrighted music at me (sorry was that too much?). Anyways, my site is all up now, complete with pricing, info and new galleries that feature only maternity, births, newborns, the first year and children and families. Weddings, brides, engagements and seniors are all gone now. Thanks honey for your hard work! Say hello to the new me!
So thanks to the amazing generosity of the Johnston family we were all able to spend three days away from home, play on the beach and relax free of charge! We had an wonderful time and the only thing that made us enjoy coming home was that Kellye and Troy Ketchum had their baby right as I drove into town. They didn’t know what they were having and it turned out to be a boy, Samuel Kellen Ketchum. He weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and measured 19 and 3/4 inches long. Kellye and Tryo had taken my childbirth class and were clam and prepared the whole way through! Congrats guys, I cannot wait to take his newborn pictures in a few days! Here are some from the birth and our trip!
We took him out of the water for this and he wasn’t happy as you can see.
few weeks ago, one crazy Saturday I shot a bridal sessions a birth and a prom all on the same day that one of my good friends, Jenn gave birth to a sweet baby boy. Brian did an awesome job filming their birth for the second time. Here is the video with the actual birth edited out |
