1. How did you get started in photography and when did you start your business?
I started Photography in
2008 and began my Business in 2010.
2. Where are you located? Do you have a studio space or do you shoot on-location?
I am in Naples Florida. I
started in my home, moved to a space then just recently moved into an 800 sq ft
new space that I am absolutely on fire about. I shoot families and children on locations, but prefer my Newborns in Studio.
.
3. What do you shoot with and what are your favorite lenses?
I shoot with my Canon 5D mark
ii. I favor my Sigma 35MM (which changed my world) and a 100 Macro Lens. I use
an Alien Bee 800 with an umbrella.
4. What drew you to newborn photography? Do you photograph anything else?
I love babies. I just love
them. I love talking with new moms to see how they are doing. I think working
with Newborns keeps me from having to have more, hahaha. I also do Weddings,
but prefer Newborns.
5. How would you describe your style? Where do you find inspiration?
My style is soft and my
colors are natural. I do not like a lot of bright colors for infants. They are
so unique and soft that I try to mirror that in images.
6. Have you taken any photography workshops/training?
I have not taken one on
one training but have watched many online classes including Keri Meyers' which
was awesome. One of my 2015 goals is to attend a Workshop or have one in my
Studio ...eehh ummm Keri ;)
7. Where do you like to shop for props? Do you have favorite vendors?
Mostly Etsy. I love Woodsy
Wonders too.
8. What are three things you wish someone would have told you when starting out?

2) There is a lot more business that goes into succeeding than I ever thought.
3) In this profession you never stop learning.
