My family and I have relocated to Wake Forest, North Carolina. I have wrapped up all my business and closed my studio in NY. I’m all registered in NC and deciding what my photography business will look like.

Over the last few years, I have photographed 40+ banners and 500+ athletes. Dates are booking up for the 2022 season baseball/softball banners. February is fully booked, but there is some availability in March & April left.

If you haven't had a banner done yet, here are a few details:
- Athletes are shot individually during 10-minute personal sessions. No need for everyone to be together!
- Early Bird Sessions photographed before March 30th is $400, after $450. Sessions include studio time for all athletes on the team, design of banner, individual portraits of each athlete, team gallery for ordering, and a 4x6 print of each athlete.
- Parents are able to order images from a team gallery of the team photos and 2-3 poses of their child.
- Studio is located in Williamsville, near Dash's Marketing on Main Street.

At the beginning of the year, I decided to start taking some pictures of myself. It was a learning experience. Some things I realized:

👉 I spend way too much time in sweats. When I decided to take a daily picture of myself, I figured I should change out of leggings, hoodies, and sweats.

👉 I don't often wear make-up; again, daily pictures reminded me to take a few extra minutes and add a little make-up.

👉 I was able to play with lights, but man, it's hard to set up lighting and get it right without a lot of test shots.
It stretched my creativity, trying different backgrounds, lighting set up, and post-processing.

Printing is so important! After I've had at least three hard drives crash, losing years of pictures, digital is fragile! So, printing is one thing. But what about creating art for your walls? Who prints and prints BIG for their walls?

Studio or on-location? I love both, so that's what I offer. The studio is so much fun; it allows for the simplicity of a background, so the focus is on you, but it gives some serious lighting creativity! On-location gives some beautiful golden hour light with meaningful environments, or take off-camera flash and on-location...it provides some spectacular images. Take a look and see some examples.

Bokeh - what's that? I adore Bokeh - you know that "fuzzy background" you see in photos. But, a trend showing up now is to have a "more clear" background to show context to an image. What do you prefer - do you like to see the context in a photo or have the subject stand out away from the background? Where your background tells a story.

Do you prefer a more serious look or a big smile?

I love capturing natural smiles and laughter, but man...I'm a sucker for that serious look!

Can we talk about ratios? No, not ratios from math class; well, maybe they are. I get asked a lot about when a client goes to print, and it gets cut off.
Take a look at each of these photos and see why you should care about aspect ratios and why you should pay attention. You'll see a 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20, and for fun for those Instagram lovers, a square. You'll also see an example of what happens for banner photos when you try to print an 8x10.

Is anyone else going to talk about today being These are a shout-out to and their amazing pies. I photographed a branding shoot to launch their online holiday stores. One word...

What is your favorite pie? My number one is my grandma's homemade apple pie...And Ohlson's Chocolate Cream, or Snickers, or maybe the Cheery, I can't decide.
