Do I still Do Photography?

Why, yes! yes I do! But, I do it for me!

I kinda got burned out doing it as a business. All the advertising, photographing, post processing, editing, burning, deadlines… and then my babies being sick or teething,or growth spurt and just needing mom…

It just all got to be WAY more than I could handle. I was stressed out, my customers were unhappy cause of missed deadlines… it wasn’t fair to anybody.

So now, I mainly do photography on my own time, for me. Without deadlines, and without clients most the time.

I still accept clients, but I mostly wait for them to come to me, rather than me actively advertising and searching out clients.

Now, I’m back! I’m back to enjoying photography as my art form again! And it’s SO good!

I’ve done a couple weddings, some family photos, but majority of whats on my computer are just pix of my little girls growing up and having adventures. And those are what I love to see the most!

Our cat, Missy, follows us every time we leave the house on a walk. She’s the sweetest thing! As I was doing photos with Naomi the other day along our driveway, Missy kept following, pausing only momentarily to check out a sudden movement in the woods that caught her eye. If I tried to squat down to her level she’d come running up to me and commence rubbing herself against my legs. So, I found a way to get at her level, without causing her to run up to me, so that I could get a nice photo of her. There’s a rather steep portion of our driveway, nearer the house. On our way down, she had her attention drawn to the woods, for a brief moment. I quickly turned around, did a half squat to get the right composition and level, and VWALLA! A beautiful portrait of our lovely guardian kitty.

Photo was shot with a Canon 5D body and 50mm f/1.8 lens.
