Category Archives: Professional Development This year has been my busiest year second shooting. I’ve been in business for almost 4 years. Since January, I’ve second shot with other photographers at 14 weddings. I’ve learned a ton from second shooting. I wanted to share some things I’ve learned that I think help out the primary photographer a lot. First, let…  At the end of every year, I take time out to reflect on my business year as a whole. I think about what I could have done better, what I’m proud of, what I’ve accomplished and then I establish goals for the next year. This past year has been really incredible in so many ways….  I’ve seen a lot of talk over the last couple of weeks about whether or not photographers give their clients the unedited images on a disc and only edit the ones that go into their albums or retouch only a select number of images. I heard about this method a couple of years ago when…  So what do you all think? If you’re reading this on my blog, then you can clearly see that there is a new design!

It’s about the laws of attraction. It relates people to radio towers. You’re always emitting a frequency….  ***If you read nothing, please read this paragraph. These photos do not all represent my current work but are used to show you lighting I’ve used in the past for receptions. Some of them are from when I first started out (even from my first wedding) and do not necessarily use an editing style, shooting…  Exactly three years ago today, I woke up with the same thoughts as any other day. Wake up, go downstairs to work (I was working at home for my corporate job at the time), make dinner for when Colby comes home, finish the baseboards in the living room of our relatively new home (bought 3…  If you didn’t watch my video blog from earlier this week, this blog may come as a strange surprise. Long story short, I’m continuing to build off of my “Inspired” installations using my Photography History class that I’m taking at UNF. So if you’re a photographer wanting to know more about the history of photography,…  I’m really loving getting into these video blogs now that I have the time to focus and really put my personality into them, versus working a corporate job, running a business, and going to school.
