You may never know unless you ask….

Posted on April 15, 2010

I love Facebook, it’s a fun way for me to catch up with friends and even some of my family. It also allows me to use my fan page to grow my business, post pictures for clients, and just in general put myself out there as a photographer.  There are a lot of photographers on Facebook, it’s interesting for me to get a peek into the lives of other photogs, this week has been interesting as it’s brought a few things to light, and since I’ve watched the issues that can be caused by not asking questions, I wanted to post specifically about questions.

Let me start by saying, I realize that I’m new to this business and my skills are improving every time I pick up my camera (at least that’s my goal), to assist with that I spend a lot of time reading books and blogs, and just getting out and shooting to learn even more.  I believe you never stop learning, the only person who knows everything is God.

So, if you ever see a picture that I shot and you want to know how I shot it (or processed it) , ask me!  Email me, message me on Facebook, leave the question in the comments field on the blog post (be sure to include your email with your posting info).  If you want to know my full pricing, just ask, as a client, I would appreciate you filling out the contact form, if you are a photographer just shoot me an email, I’ll tell you all about how I came up with the packages I have and why I made them the way they are.  I fully believe in sharing with other photographers, without the kindness and willingness to share from several awesome local photographers, I wouldn’t know half of what I know now, I can’t being to tell you how grateful I am they were willing to share, and I believe in paying it forward.  And since no blog post should be without a picture, here is one from this past Sunday.

Fort Monroe Wedding Photographer ~ Sylina and Terrell

Posted on March 15, 2010

Sylina and Terrell were married at the beautiful Chapel of the Centurion on Fort Monroe in Hampton the first weekend in March. It was a pretty day, the sun was shining, but still chilly, and rather windy on the water. I had a last minute assistant at this wedding in Kristi Schneider to make a long story short, I have a torn muscle in my shoulder, obviously it didn’t stop me from shooting this wedding the way I shoot every wedding, but I had a few painful moments, I pulled through though and having a friend/second shooter with me gave me a peace of mind. Here are some of my favorites from the day, you can find them full size here, this is also where all the photos will be when they are finished.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

So I finally created a fan page on facebook! I would love for you to become a fan… and tell all your friends. I have a goal of 200 fans! Can you help me make that happen?

Tyler is 16 months… and a few with mommy too

Today we managed to get some family time at the park.  I am working on shooting in manual mode, I love the results, still have lots to learn, but in the end I was very glad I took the time to do it.  With the exception of black and white these are straight out of the camera.  Enjoy my little bit… oh and a few pictures of her mommy too

We were having a little bit of a wild hair moment, but that didn’t stop her from being adorable

“you want me to what?…. where’s elmo?”

Cuteness in the truck, she was sitting behind me and saw the camera and I just kept hearing “say cheese” so I had to take a few, when I turned around she stopped smiling, silly girl

The shy smile

Getting ready to perform her circus trick

Flip me daddy

upside down

oh, those baby blue’s

I think I see where she get’s her eye color from

Just mommy, this is rare

this one just makes me laugh, so I had to put it on here, I see someone adorable in the background

Thanks for looking, remember I love comments!
