- I have an amazing support group and AMAZING clients! You have all kept me super, duper SLAMMED through the spring and summer! I have been having an absolute blast and working on honing my skills, and growing as a photographer.
- I finally scoped out some GREAT locations in my new town! Our family moved from Northern Kentucky last year and while I am originally from the south-Dayton area, the West Chester/Liberty Township zone was totally foreign to me last year. I was kind of timid as far as trying out new "go to" shooting spots around. It was silly, but still... the last thing I want to do us use my fabulous clients as guinea pigs! Sometimes a location may SEEM great, but when it comes down to the final product, I may decide angles were bad, settings were too obvious, or lighting just didn't work for me during the time I did the shoot. I was very fortunate that I found my favorite new spot in the area... is at the end of my street! YES! It is that close. like, .2 miles from me. I run past it every day I run. And it's also become a favorite for my clients as well! so many people have been requesting to have sessions in "the Field". This does present another challenge though....
-Keeping things from looking the same! HUGE challenge as a photographer. When you find things that work, you want to do them again and again. I always want to guarantee that I don't fall into a non-creative rut and make everyone's sessions look the same. Well, when so many people like a location/setting that is as simple as a field... you learn to be a little creative!
- Updating my site... and now My blog! Yes, I decided to give the site a facelift and I am SOOO much happier with the look. I think it is much cleaner and easier to navigate now! Take a peek for yourself when you get a chance! www.shannonbarthphotography.com ! Next up.. the blog is getting a new look too! Stay tuned and if things look a little jumbled one day.... no worries! they'll get straightened up in a couple of days!
-Senior season is upon us! I had senior sessions on Friday and Saturday of this weekend and they both went GREAT! One of those sessions was with my cousin-in-law (aka: my husband's cousin), the beautiful Rachel and the other was with the brother-in-law of one of my cousins, Brock! I have a wonderful time with seniors... then it hits me... WOW. It has been 12 years since I graduated high school... YIKES hahah! I feel young when I'm doing senior sessions, but they're probably thinking "Wow, 31... she's old". and they'd be right haha!
Well more to come on here! I am going to be keepin the blog going and posting sessions as they get wrapped up. But for now... I'm off to get editing on the 7 sessions I shot this week! Enjoy the end of the summer everyone!
