I am good. I am kind. I am important. (not conceited really...I just have to keep telling myself this...)
What sparked your passion for Photography?
My mother. She made her own darkroom and I always wanted to take photos like her.
What’s in your camera bag?
I have a Canon 60D, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8, kit lens 18-135mm, speedlite 270 EX II (only used once...). I hate my bag so I won’t mention what it is. lol
What Camera/Equipment did you start out with?
My Minolta Film camera :)
If you could only use one lens an entire session which one would you choose and why?
My 85mm. I don’t know why. Thats the one I used for my last session. :)
What advice would you give your “just starting out self”?
Do more PBing and take it easy on the “comparing yourself to others”. That just sucks and is not how to get yourself motivated.
Biggest “Wow, what was I thinking?!” edit fiasco?
I may have a couple but really can’t think of one yet. I actually like the way I edit all my photos. I know my color may be of or whatever (now that I know better) but I am still always drawn to these images as a part of my journey and I love them still.
Current Photog crush?
I have been drawn to Lisa Lucky in the past and now I am drawn to Tara Whitney. Too many to count but those are current faves.
If you could photograph absolutely anyone who would it be dead or alive?
Anybody sexy...hehe like famous actors. Zac Efron or some other hotty. BUT...if you actually knew me you would know that I could NEVER DO THIS...
Describe your style in 3 words.
Natural. Happy. Innocent. That’s actually really hard for me to do. I don’t think these actually work but its the best I can do.
Best photography purchase? My Canon 60D
Worst? My speedlite (so far just because I haven’t touched it and I thought it would help me sooo much. lol)
Any Photography related Goals for 2013?
Originally I wanted this to be “make CMPro” but now I don’t know. I think now it would be something like- just to be relaxed in my business and work hard in silence.
What’s your most recent “Ah HA!” moment related to photography?
Most recent? I have had MANY but the most recent would be that no matter how many classes you take- nothing makes you better but you.
Biggest Photography related insecurity?
Everything...
What kind of Camera bag do you rock?
What do you think your next photography related investment will be?
I know that tonight I will be purchasing my new remote for my camera to rock my new selfie challenge coming up.
If you had to recommend ONE thing that a photographer needs, what would that be?
An openness to learn new things and realize that you don’t know everything. Don’t be cocky and share your knowledge with others.
What would you say your biggest muse is?
I know I should say something like my kids here but...Jennifer Cross Nobriga. No really...its true! I look at her work daily and try to be like her.
Are you in or plan to be in business?
I am in business. If you want to call it that. :) Its still a constant work in progress.
Favorite Color: BLUE
Favorite food or recent yummy recipe? Hmmm...I have too many but I think Challah Bread with homemade Apple Butter? Yummm...
Biggest guilty pleasure: Watching WAY TOO MUCH TV.
Pet Peeve: slow drivers...
Current favorite song? I constantly have about 3 songs going on in my head at all times. So this is hard for me. But anything by Adele or Mumford and Sons. Going back Old School would be anything from the Mary Poppins Movie.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A Veterinarian
One thing no one knows about you is:
I suck. No really...I do. I do everything half assed. (Excuse my language.) Its probably my ADD (although I have never been officially diagnosed! lol)
Pc or Mac: MAC!!
Lightroom Or Photoshop:
Lightroom and PSE
If you could travel anywhere it would be: The East Coast in the Fall or New York at Christmas.
Favorite photo ever taken: This one is hard. Really hard.
Raw or Jpeg: RAW
Favorite Quote:
Don’t cry because it is over. Smile because it happened. Dr Seuss. (I cry every time...)
And one more!
I am not arguing with you. I am simply explaining why I am right. (from a t-shirt)
Most valued material possession: I guess I will say my camera. I value all my personal possessions because I know what its like to lose them when you have nothing else left.
Coffee or Tea: NEITHER! Yuck.
If you could photograph a Celebrity who would it be?
Theador Geisel. (Dr Seuss) Just to say I had met him.
***And because I LOVE Inside The Actor’s Studio:
What is your favorite word? OMG! (Yes I know that is technically three...)
What is your least favorite word? F*** bomb. Totally unnecessary for daily living.
What turns you on? Watching sappy love movies.
What turns you off? My DH asking me to do ANYTHING I don’t feel like doing at the time.
What sound do you love? My daughter’s laugh
What sound do you hate? My kids talking too loud and screaming/whining
What is your favorite curse word? I don’t curse too often but when I do its pretty mild. Dumb Ass, SHIT sometimes comes out too but I just try really hard not to.
What profession other than yours (and photographer) would you like to attempt?
The idea of being a singer appeals to me because I love to sing (and people have told me I am good- but I believe in more of the “wow my family thinks I am so good!! I should try for American Idol!!” good- not REALLY good. Ya know. I would never actually want that job though because it is a lot of work and I couldn’t be the kind of mom I want to be with that lifestyle.
If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
Welcome- you have done good my child.
