Never stop learning...

I am continuously attending workshops, reading up on the latest technology, and watching online videos, etc. I feel that if I stop trying to learn and better myself that is the moment I become general run of the mill and not great or amazing. This is not just for photography, but relates to all things in my life.

CreativeLIVE

One of my absolute favorite free photography educational go-to places is CreativeLIVE.com. They are always having different experts in the field giving workshops that you can watch live for free or purchase to watch any time. It's amazing to me how much I grow and learn each time I watch someone new. 

Mistakes lead to Greatness

I also love to just go out and shoot and learn from my mistakes! Every time I challenge myself and fail I learn something and it sticks. I know that I learn more from mistakes than I ever do from my successes. 

Challenge Yourself

My latest challenge for myself is setting up my in-home studio. Up to this point in my career I have worked on location only both indoor and outdoor. I'm very excited to build a working studio so I have more control over the environment both for taking photos but also for my clients to walk in and feel at home. I want my studio to create a mood and be a true extension of who I am. 

Promise to post before/after photos of my studio as it comes alive and I begin to use it!!
