335/365

Lucy 335/365

Annie 335/365

Today I am thankful for all of the orders that have been coming in. I swear I have been placing orders for 2 days straight. Yesterday I think I sat at the table for about 6 hours and the same today. I am most excited about the 10 canvases that got ordered today!! I love seeing those the most. I still have several orders that need to come in, but I really am getting close to the end of this holiday season.

I have my mom's night out tonight. Only three of us can go this time, but I am very excited about it, as always. I need to get off of here and get the girls cleaned up and ready for bed. I will put Annie down before I go and Justin and Lucy will have a little party!

Since I have little time tonight, I will answer the easiest question. The camera I use is a Nikon D700. I am in love with my camera. It rocks. My favorite lens is my 24-70mm 2.8 and I still love my 50mm. I have the 85mm and I love it, too, but sometimes I feel like there is something a little off with it because the sharpness seems off a tad. I have the 105mm macro, but I have used it one time. Ridiculous, I know. I need to practice with it a lot more. Something to do when things slow down. I also have the 18-200mm but I never use it and need to sell it. It is a great lens, but just doesn't meet my needs. I like to shoot wide open, and that lens is not for that. I will address more photography questions in later posts.

I'll certainly miss reading and seeing your daily posts once the new year arrives. I don't comment as much as I should, but you have inspired me to learn more and hopefully turn my photography into a career. I still have a long way to go but witnessing how much you have improved over the last year is/has been inspiring. If you are ever in Northern Florida, I would seriously love for you to take some pictures of my two red heads.

My question is this: What is your process once you have taken the pictures for a session? How do you decide what to edit and how do you go about it. Did you hire someone to do your business website? How long did you plan your venture before you opened for business. Any tips are certainly appreciated!

Thanks for being so open and sharing so much with complete strangers.

Take care!
Beth

The picture of Annie with the purses is Elizabeth to a tee right now. She loves her purses. You should have seen her face when she got the Hello Kitty one she had been wanting on her birthday. Hopefully maybe I can get that video posted tomorrow.
