studio

Good-bye living room…. Hello home studio!

I have moved my studio from its usual upstairs playroom location to my living room for a few weeks. I needed to make the extra room for a dog bed product shoot I have scheduled with Carolina Pet Company…. I am very excied! Thank you, Christian!

life IS good

French Broad Imaging (www.frenchbroadimaging.wordpress.com ), my favorite local printing company, is holding a photo contest. The theme is “The Arrival of Spring,” and they are giving away some great prizes to the winners. So I decided to enter. I chose this image not because it is my best work or because it is perfectly composed or a literal translation of the theme but because this image sings to me. It sings sunshine, warmth, youthfulness, freedom and the all the goodness of life…things I think of when I think of spring. I took it on a recent afternoon at my sister’s house while the kids played and the adults visited…things I hope to do a lot more of that now that spring has arrived. The photography contest is open to all. Why not go and take a picture of your “arrival of spring” and enter it into the contest?  You never know…someone has to win…maybe it will be you.  – c

one of my favorite websites and places to go for photography help is www.clickinmoms.com

It is a great forum with tutorials, helpful hints and inspiration filled with a community of Mom’s that love photography. I discovered it when I was just leaning and starting out and still love it today.
