Entry for Photography Idol

I love capturing details of events that others may often miss but really set the scene for that event. I also love simple images that really speak to you and maybe shares a story without complication or clutter because we already have enough of that in our lives.

Pinterest as a tool in Photography

I absolutely loooove Pinterest and I spend way too much time on it. :-P But at least while I'm spending too much time on it I can also use it to improve my business.

First way to use Pinterest to help photography is: Inspiration. There are so many great photographs and photograph ideas on there.

 

Second way to use Pinterest to help in photography is: Learning. I have found many new websites for learning different photography or photoshop related things. Also fellow pinners like to make little "cheatsheet" pictures to help with certain subjects (especially to help out people that are just starting to use a camera)

A way I need to start using it to help is to post photographs that you've taken with your watermark on them so that you can get your name out there. There are several photographers I know who do this and it's a great idea!

The last way to use Pinterest to help in photography is: DIY Props and Backgrounds. I have pinned so many ideas that I haven't got to make yet but props  can be so expensive so a great way to save money is to make your own!

There are other ways too including packaging, client gifts, blogging tips, office decor and organization, and so much more!

I love this couple so much they were so cute and in love with each other! And they couldn't go more than a few minutes without kissing each other. :-) Libertie and I first shot them last week when the husband came home from being deployed:

And now we got to do a couple shoot with them downtown. :-) This is only the 2nd couple shoot I've done so I'm very happy with the results.

 

Welcoming Home 2-1 Main Body 6

This is my I think 5th homecoming now and they are all starting to blend together. lol I love it though! Being there and being able to capture precious moments for soldiers and their families is worth the 4+ hour long job, hot tarmat, soldiers standing in your way, and having no air in the building and other sorts of craziness. lol. Me and a fellow photographer Alisha have decided that we are going to bring a yoga mat to sit on when we're outside shooting. haha(trying not to lol so much)

This homecoming def made me cry, there was a lady there with a baby that hadn't even met it's father yet. I'm very glad that she let me get a picture of her and that precious baby.

Also one of my new friend's husband came home too so that was awesome!

And on top of that we had 2 other great families we got to capture moments for:

A Fresh Start

Hey and welcome to my photography business's blog. I've started different blogs in the past and never seem to have kept up with them, but I promise I am going to try my best to keep up with this one! I've decided that I want to document my journey as a photographer and document by business's growth and development for myself and anyone else who may be interested in my journey. Who knows maybe I could help and inspire someone in their own photography. I know I love keeping up with fellow photographers and learning from them! :-) Thank you for joining me in the journey!
