So here we are, you reading this, me drinking tea, writing this. The question is, what am I going to rant about today? Now unless you read my last entry, you have no idea what's coming. So, let me tell you. As you know, many of my clients don't pay me. Why?, you might ask. Probably because I'm only fourteen & I look naive, I'm not sure. But this I am sure of. Last month I was asked to do an infant session that I will be payed for! After she, (My sister's mother-in-law) saw my work, she agreed to sign my year contract!!! You have no idea how excited I still am. So every month, my sister/manager/assistant drives me to her house. But then I thought, I haven't held a newborn since my brother/model was born, which was almost six years ago. After coming to that conclusion, excitement turned into panic, stress, and yeah... I sorta freaked. Saturday came and I had knots in my stomach for three reasons. 1) I haven't handled a newborn baby in a long time. 2) My plan to use Manual was on my head all night. I have never really used manual before and didn't want to mess this up. & 3) What if they don't like the pictures! So we pull up to the house. I walk in nervous but have my eye out for good lighting. Then I meet my subject of the year, Miss Zoey Lynn. She is so tiny, and that sacred me even more. After she woke up I felt a lot more comfortable. She is only a month old, and not to active, which is good. Being a rookie in the infant photography business, is not fun. I didn't know where to start! I tried to keep my confidence but I couldn't. I now know that I need a schedule, a list, something to keep me going. Also, Pinterest is SO FAKE!! DO NOT COMPARE YOUR WORK TO THEIRS. Okay, so I know your dying to see those pictures, so here you go.
This was on the no flash setting because I was chicken in this lighting to use Manual.
This was my actual first photo taken with Manual!!! I know, I know, it's not spectacular, but to me it an accomplishment! I honestly am slightly proud that I did it. Lame right?
These two right here were completely unplanned. All of a sudden she just got really calm, so that where I come in.
Love this shot of her Mommy and her, while she sneezed!!
For these two shots I tried to focus on her wedding ring as well as them.
Love this!!
Anyways, I would really appreciate your feedback on anything. Any requests, questions, ect.
Don't worry, you'll see a lot more of Baby Zoey next month.
Stay Tuned.
Yours Truly,
Miss Rose
