Guilty....

Kash- I apologized I haven't been able to blog on this...life as a teacher doesn't always seem to leave you with alot of free time. Not to worry because School is OUT! Wahoo!! Another year of teaching over and done with! So I have a shoot coming up, a family shoot. Its for a lady at school...its her family, so older kids and then adults. Any suggestions on some fun things to do with them?

Break

I have been dealing with cute, adorable children all day, and when they were sleeping or not paying attention to me I took a few minutes to edit. I have mixed feelings about editing, a part of me wants to be a good enough photographer that I don’t have to edit, but that would require a lot of work AND I probably could never photograph children, can you imagine? ‘Can you wait right there while I put my camera in Black and White?’

‘oh and now wait while I put it back into color’

oh and now wait while I put this filter on my lens to get this effect’

Whereas I can do pretty close to all of those things at the touch of a button.

Everything I have accomplished this far as a photographer I have done pretty much on my own, ‘self taught’. Well through books, internet and such anyway. I signed up for my very fist photography class last week. I am a bit apprehensive. The reason I haven’t taken any classes before now is because I LOVE taking pictures, I LOVE capturing the memories… I worry if there are assignments or I find something too hard (yes I am a wimp) it make take away some of my love for the hobby that I so adore.

Well there are my ramblings about that for the night

this is a super cool website!

All By Myself!

Ok because I am the only one who EVER writes on here I have decided that this is going to become my own personal photography journal! You guys (if you ever visit) are  MORE than welcome to post any time you want!

So I woke up (one of the many times) with Baby K last night and I was going over how frustrated I was over the recent photo shoot I did. The shoot was outside (which always scares me to begin with)and NONE of the pictures were in sharp focus! I have NO idea why. I have the same lens that I used on the shoot two days before that and the pictures were crystal clear! What is with that!? To make me fret even more, I have a shoot tomorrow with actual paying customers and I am fretting big time! I want them to be perfect… even if they are only perfect according to me! I want them to be in focus, crystal clear focus. Up until now the only shoots I have ever done have been for friends or family. If you don’t do a good job for them, they still love you. I don’t know this person so I am fretting a lot!

So ya, there we go, now I feel better because it is all written out!
