TOP 15 Things that I LOVE about being a photographer

I thought I'd make a quick list...kinda late show style :)

15) When strangers can tell I'm a photographer by all the bags I'm carrying

14) Being snap happy- especially on outings like family walks

13) Being confident enough to be "in the way" for a second to get the perfect shot at an event, then ducking out. It's kinda fun when it's socially acceptable to follow brides up or down the aisle :P

12) Playing with equipment..."hello, awesome glass, where have you been all my life?"

11) Playing with props, I mean who doesn't need 10 rustic baskets that a newborn baby can fit inside? And hats! Lots of baby hats!!!

10) Playing with wardrobe... Yes I have a case full of clothes for models...doesn't everyone?

9) The odd workout I get during a shoot- I may need to do more yoga.

8) The fact that my husband let me take over half of his "man cave" to set up my studio.

7) That on a whim I can get really great pictures of my own kids ... which reminds me I should do that more often.

6) Holding newborn babies. I would have stolen every baby I have ever photographed if I thought I could get away with it...or if I thought I had a big enough house for that many children.

5) Meeting wonderful people. Clients, models, other artist.  I ♥ U!

4) Developing a craft that requires both technical knowledge and an artist eye. Its a cool art meets science thing and anyone who knows me knows how much that appeals to me.

3) Photoshop!!! Oh how I love messing around in Photoshop. I love to enhance the beauty that is there, I have no ambitions of doing "digital plastic surgery" but man can the correct application of Photoshop make an ordinary good image look stunning.

2) I am self employed! "Sorry, I'm busy with my family that Saturday but I can book that other time you are free." I can work as much or as little as the rest of life affords- which means if I'm out working I'm excited to be there!

What's the number 1 thing that I love about being a photographer?

Hmmmm

1) Capturing forever the deepest depths of love. No amount of Photoshop can alter the loving looks exchanged during shoots- I get invited into people's lives to immortalize those really great moments. It has been a true privilege in my life. I'm really very grateful to all of my clients for trusting me, I look forward to seeing you all again soon. And if you don't know me yet- let's hang out and take some awesome pictures!
