So often I am sending out online questionnaires to my clients to get a feel for who they are, their personalities, and what makes them tick.I want their photo sessions to be representative of them and their style (with my style thrown in the mix, too). Choosing a photographer is ultimately a very personal choice. You need to work with someone who “gets” you and that you feel comfortable with. Think how comfortable you are when your best friend grabs a camera at a party and you pose carefree. Those images, though maybe not technically perfect, are treasured because of the emotions connected with them and the feeling you had when you took them. You were comfortable and it shows.
If you are uncomfortable with your photographer then it will show in the photographs, and you may associate those nervous feelings with them. I don’t want you to feel that way. I want my clients to be able to cut up, goof off, and laugh with me like we have been life-long friends. I am here to capture memories for you… intensely personal moments for you to treasure forever. So, you can just consider me your goofy “photographer friend.” 
So, anyway back to my original point… I always question clients about their interests. Well, I figured it was only fitting to show you some of mine. Here is a list (along with the photos) of some things that I love .
1. )My wedding rings, but even more so… I LOVE being married, and I LOVE my husband. He is the greatest man in my world!
2.) My cat! What more can I say! (You had to know that my pets would show up in this list.)
3.)My 2 pups! I love to watch them play and wrestle with each other. (in this case, it was early morning in our unmade bed)
4.)My Shootsac! It carries all of my lenses and gear that I need while I am shooting. Its functional and super cute!!
5.)Sprite. So, I am not sure where it came from, but I have a new found addiction with the stuff.
6.)Yeah, that’s my computer. Couldn’t live with out it!
7.) My Kindle! I just love to read. The kindle has made it so easy to get new books, and it appealed right to my “techie gadget” side. I still love going to a real bookstore, though! Ahh…the smell of books! (On a side note, I love the kindle commercials, too! So clever!)
8.) Twizzlers & Swedish Fish. Candy, in general! My favorite is Haribo Gummy Bears, but I ate them all and have none to show.
9.) Yep, that’s my new iPhone. Lovin’ it! So much faster than my old one. It keeps me connected to my business, but also has a lot of fun, “time-wasting” apps too!
(Note: These were taken for fun with my iPhone and “shake it” app…not my normal camera)
So, that’s little ol’ me in a really brief nutshell.
Okay, well it was only 9 things about me, but it’s a start….to a beautiful friendship!
