Category Archives: Newborn BabiesToday I had the privilege of photographing a newborn who is awaiting adoption. The images will be a gift to the adoptive parents when they take the baby home. I can’t show pictures or information about the baby on the web, but I can say it (excuse the word “it”, I am just being discrete) is just PRECIOUS and will touch the lives of its new family. Here is a little piece to share with you from today.
I am trying to enjoy this slow week before the explosion that is about to occur. After Saturday I will be able to share two bridal sessions with you, plus on Saturday I will be shooting a wedding, and over the next week several more sweet babies and children. So in order to keep you all tied over until my blogging picks up then, I decided to run a little special every day until Saturday! From now until Sunday (May 31st) at midnight you may purchase a gift certificate for yourself or someone else for a newborn portriat session at the discounted price of $50.00, that is half off the normal price! So if any of you know anyone who is pregnant, what better gift than to buy them pictures they will tresure forever! Purchase this certificate by itself or go in with a friend, but buy them now!
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!
Once again I finished editing a newborn shoot and was just itching for more. Thankfully people like to have their babies photographed over an over. Here are some more of Kellen from today. Despite my normal tricks to get a sleeping newborn, Kellen liked to stay awake and watch me shoot his pictures. He is just too cute, I could not ask for a better job! Oh and update: I am no longer running the special to benefit Brian’s trip, sorry! But thank you to ALL of you who were so generous with this benefit! Also I will not be shooting (unless you give birth, and I know one of you will be) the two weeks Brian is gone in Kenya (June 12-27). My best friend is in the Miss Louisiana Pageant that week and I plan to spend lots of time relaxing with the kids and working on some projects. That means there are three weeks left for shoots before the trip and you need to get on the books now if you want to get in right after I return to “work.” Thanks for keeping me busy everyone, I am LOVING it!
And thanks so Rachel who made this awesome baby “pod” for me! |
