The Tour

     During the past [almost] two years of doing photography as a business, I have covered a pretty broad range of focuses in my work. Although the majority of my photography is centered around families and children, really it feels as though I have done just about everything in-between. The past few years have seen me doing birthday parties and baby showers, maternity and newborn sessions, children and senior pictures, weddings, births, day-in-the-lives, and even business head-shots, all mixed in with a fair amount of families. Each session, no matter what category, has brought its own set of challenges and joys, and has taught me more about my camera and running a business.
     That being said, over the next few weeks it is my goal to take you on a tour. I will be visiting each category, one by one, in a series of posts. Each post will share some photo samples [of course!] from the chosen category, as well as a brief description about what each different category is teaching me. I will be covering categories in this order:

With You: Couple Photography

Promises: Wedding Photography

Waiting: Maternity Photography

Receiving: Birth Photography

Welcoming: Newborn Photography

Growing: Infant Photography (First Year)

Miracles: Child Photography

Moments: Day-in-the-Life Photography

Love: You and Your Child

Wings: Senior Portraits

Occasions: Event Photography

Professions: Business Photography

Together: Family Photography

I would be honored if you would join me for this tour! Check back in over the next few weeks-I really will be making an effort to post consistently :) I can't wait to share each of these with you!

Overload

Be prepared to be overloaded. With pictures. I recently went through photos from my summer/fall sessions, and picked a bunch of favorite photos to share with you. The number of photos grew... I really tried to trim it down, and narrow the selection, but I just have so many favorites. This, then, is an "overload" of pics. Enjoy!

*A quick note about the blog before I share pics: I have recently been thinking about the purpose of this blog. In the past, I have tried to post a selection of photos from each session here, and describe a little bit about each photo shoot in depth. However, recently I have been posting most sessions (samples and full albums) on my photography business page on Facebook. I really don't feel, at this point, that it is necessary to post every session on both the blog and my business page. Thus, I am in the process of re-shaping this blog a little bit. Instead of posting about individual sessions, I intend to post about my experience with photography as a whole. I would like to do more photo challenges (I have one brewing in my mind already...), once in a while post some favorites from sessions, and explain in depth where I am at in this learning process. I would also like to post more frequently on the blog... but I can't promise that one yet :) For now, though, I am getting any blog followers that I still have caught up to speed.

NOW I will share pics with you!
