Definitely enjoying my new camera, and ITCHING to use it more!  I have started the Commercial job which  I mentioned in an earlier Post...I am enjoying the challenge and seeing good results so far.  I want to be sure the business can generate more customers...I am proud to work with them.

I was also hired to do some head shots and it was a lot of fun snapping the Portraits with my new softbox.

In the meantime, I went out with a new foto-friend and we got stuck in the spring time mud!  It LOOKED like a good road!  In any case, I called the tow-truck and was able to call him off before he arrived.  I told him I would take a family pic for his trouble...he was pleased!  We got out, without having to step into the mud.  I am just very glad we were not so far down the road that we risked getting stuck in a different place.

One bad piece of News is that when I upgraded my Camera, I realized I would have to update my Lightroom AND my computer!!  Geesh!  I need to start making some money!! LOL

I think I will enjoy Product Photography.  I also need to help business owners realize that some good photos can really help their sales.

Jamie Bloom and I (www.infullbloomphotography.com) are still available this summer for some wedding dates.  You can hire us together for a full coverage package, or separately for a smaller wedding package.

While Gay marriage is not yet legal in Kansas, we will hire out for Gay couples. Fell free to call.

I have done a few Boudoir shoots and the gals I have worked with (and their Hubbies) are happy with the work!

So, what can I do for YOU?  What about a picture of your Home or Farmstead? - - layered with a scripture, a saying, or your family name?  It would make a lovely gift!

Growth and Change

I took a big step.  I have ordered several new pieces of photographic equipment.  A new camera, soft box and strobe, and a table top light box for product photography.

I have been asked to do a job in town that I sincerely wanted to do correctly.  My camera was giving me some mixed results.  Not sure what that is all about but with a new camera in hand I can at least get repairs  done on the old one while I make money with the new one.  I was feeling so inadequate with my camera aging and not keeping up with changes....especially the increased demand I was making with my own talents growing and my need for more reliable equipment.

I want to spread my wings a bit.  I feel like I can now.

It has been a long time since I posted.  I have been busy on other sites keeping active in Social Media, and of course with my job.
I continue to shoot, although sometimes sporadically.  I am much like many other photographers, who want newer, better equipment.  In fact there is a special project I would love to do, but it will take more than $12,000.00 dollars.
Equipment needs are:
 a new computer at home, a laptop to get mobile with the project, a small sound mixer board, microphones, mic cords, a new camera to shoot better in lower light, new lenses to accommodate lower light shots, and about 4-5 clients a month willing to pay the fee for what I have to offer.
I don't see anything like that happening anytime soon.  So for now, I will grab my camera and shoot when I can.
Grab my mics and record who I can when I can.
And keep my loved ones close.....I pray you will do the same.
Keeping it all in focus,
Michelle
