Did you teach yourself photography?
I taught myself lighting by trial and error! And spent lots and lots of money. I do now belong to numerous organizations that help me stay educated like PPA and several professional photography forums.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel to Philadelphia, Las Vegas and local places in Kentucky to seminars and conventions to keep up with the latest gadgets, trends, and cool stuff to offer my clients!
I’ll be in Chicago at the end of October to learn from my all-time favorite photographer…Audrey Woulard. I’ve been admiring her work for years!
What camera equiptment do you use?
Canon all the way baby! I should get some kind of kick-back. I’ve sent more people to buy Canon than stars in the sky…I use a 5-D SLR and various lenses and flash.
How do you get those great eyes? How can I get great "eye shots" like that?
Make an appointment…duh!
Favorite way to get a kid to smile?
~Smile myself…
Favorite age to photograph?
However old YOU are.
Biggest Challenge?
juggling it ALL!
Your card?
American Express…no just kidding…just thought I’d throw that in…I always look at those ads in magazines and laugh because you know good and well Kate Winslet isn’t having to use a credit card to go shopping!
Biggest accomplishment?
My kids.
Lenon - I want to tell you how happy I am that you have finally joined the rest of the blogging world. I will make it a point to visit weekly.
The session we did last week was unlike any other. I have three children and we have tried numerous photographers over the years, and I can honestly say that the experience with you was unlike any other. My kids loved you! You made them feel like movie stars. They are already asking when we can do it again,and they are only in preschool!!!
It thrills me to no end to see someone–specifically a woman from eastern Kentucky–find success in such a small town. Because I live in a larger city, I am often ridiculed for my southern accent and my heritage mocked. Imagine my exitement when I show my pictures to my yankee collegues! We will drive three hours to see you anytime!!!! Thank you so much for capturing my children in their most tender years. These pictures will be cherished for a lifetime.
