Wow I updated this blog and added my own blog picture, how cool! I'm such a geek. Today is June 19th and really loving how I'm getting so much better with photography. There is still a lot more to learn. My next steps are using a reflector and learning textures in photoshop. I love these 2 new goals I set myself to do. After that I'm definitely learning flash and going back to practicing more indoor studio work. I have a great little studio in by 3rd bedroom, but I love outdoor shooting. Too bad it wasn't all year long. I need to take advantage of the summer it goes by quickly. Casey currently has 3 bows to model but with the high temperatures this week, its going to be impossible to shoot. I'm looking forward towards the end of the week once it gets a little cooler.

First Photo Family Session
Well being busy with my full time job, I seem to forget that I have a blog to update. Today is Tuesday, June 5, 2012 and poor Casey is sick. I had to stay home from work today. I hope she feels better tomorrow. We are going on a weekend trip to Wisconsin, so I want her all better so she can go swimming and have lots of fun.
I'm also feeling more confident in my photography. I had my first family shoot this past Sunday for a friend and it was great. The kids were great and I took some really nice pictures of the family. I need to try to be a little more creative. I was nervous so when she asked where to stand, I said anywhere. I need have more of a take charge attitude and advise her where to stand and what to do instead of her asking me. I was nervous, so I forgive myself this time. I also wrote down some things to do in a journal so I can look back at it and say okay, lets try in this way, or remember to change the angle. I missed some great shots by not changing my angle. The sun was really bright at 10:30 in the morning so that was a bit of a challenge for me as well. LESSON LEARNED! Overall though, I loved how the photos turned out. I just need to keep in mind that this was my first session as a family photographer and to keep practicing and work hard to improve.
Here is a shot of Casey I took on Saturday. I love the city of St. Charles, IL!

Have a great day!!
