My Photography

Happy Sunday everyone!  I have had a few people ask me about my photography and what I have been up to!  Since moving, I really haven't done very much.  Photography is a lot of word of mouth.  I was starting to do more in Charleston and when we moved, that stopped.  I did start introducing myself as a photographer and one lady asked if I would be interested in doing her newborn photos!  Heck yeah!!!!  I was so excited!  I have a wonderful office in our new home that I work in.  It gets lovely light and was perfect for the shoot.


It was a 2 1/2 hour shoot and I loved every minute of that sweet boy!!!  The key to newborn photography is just patience.  I still have a long way to go and editing newborns is a whole new ball game!  They have red splotches, yellow noses, and purple/blue feet!  Woo!  I did a lot of researching and Youtube watching, but was very happy with the results and the parents were too!  He was a doll!  






A friend of this family saw my work and asked me to do a Halloween mini session of their son.  I said, "YES!"  They have also booked me to do his 6 month/Christmas photos and his one year!  





I love this last one!  I call it... Did Someone Say Candy????


So word is spreading and I also have a new gig working with Chic Critique Forum!  Kelli France is an amazing photographer who has designed a forum for photographers with so much information!  She offers a 4 week critique from celebrity photographers.  You sign up and they critique your work.  It is so wonderful to hear what a pro in the business thinks of your work!  I am going to run their Giveaways page that we are launching in December!  I am so excited!  Between all this and volunteering in Jemma's school... I am a busy woman!  And I thought I would have all this free time!!!!

  9. Kathryn, this is so fantastic! Word of mouth has started and you'll be the most popular photographer in town soon :-) You did an amazing job with these pictures - my favourite is the close-up of the little guy in the chicken costume :-)

    Good luck and have fun on your new photography venture!

    {P.S. We're thinking of taking a trip to Charleston next April - do you have any tips on the best places to go and the best things to do?)

  13. Happy New Year, Kathryn! (and to Jem & DH, too)

    Your progress with photography is outstanding! These incredible shots just amaze me. I'm really happy that you've found some clients in this winter land of snow. It will make the season go by faster & then look out, Spring will be here!

    Thank you for your sweet words of welcome. I've missed you, too. I'm happy that you are happy in your new home. (I was worried, ya' know)

    I wish your family a Blessed & Healthy New Year,
    fondly,
    Rett
