Fortnightly Photos VII

Hello!

I started this at the end of summer and although winter isn’t here yet, I am definitely feeling the cold! I am trying to keep up with everything on my to-do list, but often I find the list gets longer and longer and I am less able to tick things off.

One thing I have kept up with is my photos! I had my first paid clients this month – 3 of them! And I have learned a lot, and really enjoyed myself. I have invested a lot into this business and am looking at investing more – both of myself personally and financially. But baby steps, I have found myself incredibly busy just doing mum things so I am going to give myself a few weeks of taking it slow before upping any game.

I converted my living room entirely into a studio, thanks to my lovely husband agreeing to move all our furniture around, and so now I can put up my backdrops and take them down as needed. It’s made a big difference!

Here are my top photos from the last couple weeks:

These are from our family photoshoot – I love them and have made our Christmas cards with them too!

These are from shoots with other people as well, and I have a couple with myself and Theo Prana in them from our practice sessions. I have accumulated a LOT of props now, for sitter and newborn sessions and I have been learning a lot about them so I am educated on what I am offering.

In honesty, while I haven’t blogged and I have let this slide a lot, I haven’t given up on this project, and I haven’t let myself put the camera down so I am proud of that. I love the studio sessions, and it makes so much sense in the winter because it is so very cold, but I still love the outdoor sessions most, and I know that there will be lots of fun when we do venture to some muddy fields, or our on an adventure with the camera; just need to wait and see what happens.

I’ll try to post on time at the end of this month.

Thanks for sticking with me,

Fortnightly Photos III

I’ve been very quiet on here recently, moved back home to Scotland and have been settling in. Photography wise though, I’m buzzing! I had my friend Gemma visit and model for me while she was over, and posted on a local Facebook asking if anyone would be willing to let me do some photoshoots with their kids for experience; I am now busy for 3 weeks!

I was overwhelmed initially but am incredibly excited. My first shoot is tomorrow.

The last 2 weeks have been intense and full of photographs. My top 10 are:

Thanks for keeping up with me. I’ll be back to regular blogging soon.

Fortnightly Photos I

I have decided that as I develop my photography and as Theo Prana grows, I am going to make a fortnightly photo post! This will hopefully be a way to keep me taking photos and make sure I up my game a little, and it allows me to share my top 5-10 photos every couple of weeks.

It’s a project that I am super excited about and I think it will be really good for my personal development.

Here are my top photos from the last couple of weeks:

The B&W ones with his grandma at the moment my favourite! Honestly though, I am absolutely in love with him in new ways now… capturing moments like these, even when I try to stage some, has an incredible effect. I am looking at him and noticing all the tiny things even more.

These last 3 are from my first attempt at a shoot with someone else’s kids – there is so much room for improvement but I am fairly happy with this first try. I learned a lot too.

I’ll post again in a couple of weeks. Drop some feedback in the comments if you have any.
