Paper or plastic?

Well, most of us were sick over Christmas, but we still had some fun! Santa came and the little ones had fun with their new treasures.  As the new year approaches,  I find myself thinking more about perfecting my art, and starting my business. Which brings me to the question....paper or plastic? CD or prints?  I'm leaning more toward prints. Not because I feel like I'm giving away the farm with "plastic" but as a client myself, I kinda like the experience of coming in and viewing my photos choosing my prints and products and putting my cherished memories in the hands of a professional print service.  Speaking from behind the camera, my monitor is calibrated to ensure proper colors and skin tones when printed and each of my photos I consider a work of art.  I struggled with discs cause people keep asking for them but really....if you place these works of art in an instant printer kisok there is no guarantee it will come out with perfect color.  It is a painstaking process to ensure beautiful prints in the post processing, so I've decided to give it the justice it deserves.  No more plastic. If my business doesn't "take off" because of the decision I've made then I will just keep trying, take the time to prefect my craft and hang in there. On a fun note, I do have some photos of the Christmas snow for you to enjoy! I will be posting and making changes soon! Have a wonderful new year and may it bring success and happiness!!!!!!!

Me as an artist

Today is hopefully going to be the start of an amazing partnership and business opportunity but most of all, the exciting start of me pursuing my dream. As I took my camera in hand, it just felt right. So I started photographing my Kristina and marking her milestones growing up, I enjoyed it so much. I started to study more learning photoshop and taking many photos of my triplets as they grew. I learned mostly because I wanted photos of my babies and they were tiny and in hospital then housebound for almost a year. As I learned, I developed a passion for the art and knowledge. I invested time in educating myself, and a couple of online classes, many hours of reading, tutorials and studying.  Then I wondered, could I do this? I've always wanted to make a living doing what I love(doesn't everyone?) and have my own business. So I went back and forth struggling with the idea and finally told myself, if I never try, I've already failed. So here it goes. Wish us luck!
