INTRODUCING FAMILY SESSIONS

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 03:22:12 +0000

MY BIG DECISION…

I have been doing some soul searching lately to discover why I love photography and what I do.

As Many of my clients know since they have been with me since the first few days of their children’s life, how much I love what I get to do… I love that I get to create art, celebrate the addition of a true miracle to families, and as the year goes by I make connections that turn into friendships, and I get to watch these little people grow, I love sharing in the joy of the new sitters, the crawlers, the first steps ( and many have happened in my studio)

I Love being part of my clients lives.

I love specializing in Maternity Newborn & Baby, I love what I do,

but I hate that once my clients reach 18 months I don’t get to see them anymore

I have spent countless hours trying to figure out what to do, I did a few sessions with older clients this fall to try out how I liked doing outdoor family sessions,

but I wasn’t ready to share it with the world. It made me sad I couldn’t show off these beautiful families,because it wasn’t part of my genre.

I came to the conclusion recently that Milk & Honey is in fact MY Business, so I get to choose.

So My Big decision is that I Have decided to offer family sessions.

I will be offering outdoor family sessions for familys with children of ALL ages ( NO baby required !!) thru April – end of October, I will have limited availability, but I at least wanted to give my clients the option of booking an annual session with me,

and to welcome some new families too!

I know with this announcement I will get back lash, I have said no, over the years because I wasn’t ready, or wasn’t sure that was the direction I wanted to go in,

But I decided Milk & Honey is about love, comfort & connections, and that is what I want to show to the world.

I will still continue to specialize in Maternity, Newborn & Baby, but will be adding family as a new genre too.

I anticipate these sessions will fill up quickly, so encourage booking early as I will only do a limited number each month.

Much love & warm wishes,

Lisa

I had one very sweet & snuggley little 6 day old in the studio this morning. He slept like a champ for nearly our entire session and left me little to no laundry! What a rockstar! Here are a few faves…

We love to play on the piano, making up songs and tinkling ( or pounding) away on the keys.

My little cheese thief.

My sweet little boy grabbed the cheese block off the counter while my husband was making sandwiches,

and went and quietly sat at his craft table. We discovered our little mouse quietly chomping away.

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I will post one photo a day of my family.}

A new year.

Happy New year everyone!

Over the last couple of years I have seen other photographers do photos a day projects. Some do it for the entire year, and some do it just for January, Im playing it by ear. I just loved the idea. The goal is to photograph your children daily. I know doing this project will become a treasured collection to me.

There has been something weighing on my heart the last few months. Why are so many photographers so mean to other photographers???

Im not sure why there is a culture of making fun of others, laughing about others pricing, processing or techniques, but in all honesty Im sick of it.

No one was born a master at Anything? Even Picasso was probably some kid with a box of crayons at one point. right?

Just because someone isn’t as far on their journey as someone else doesn’t give someone else the right to belittle, make fun of, steal their work, put it up on some “fauxtographer” blog for the world to make fun of. ( not that this has happened to me) But Its cruel & unnecessary.How would you feel if people you admired made fun of your early work? Its just not right.
AND Just because a person does something one way doesn’t make it wrong?

Its OK to not love Light room

Its OK to Love Light room

Its OK to use Actions

Its OK to not use actions

Its OK to only use natural light

Its OK to only use studio lights

Its OK to have a home based studio

Its OK to have a store front studio

Its OK to be YOU!

I really think we need to stop caring so much about what everyone else is doing. What works for you? Take your eyes off the rest of the world and look at your self? Art your clients happy, are you happy? and are you continuing to learn, grow, try new things, and let yourself fail?

My point really is, lets stop all this judgement, name calling ( Fauxtographer, MWAC) Everyone starts somewhere. It really doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing with their photography or business, if they use selective color & heavy vingnettes thats their perogitive. What matters is YOU, how you advance your self to be the best photographer & person you can be. Be Kind.

I encourage you for 2012 to focus on yourself, your personal growth and your business.

With much Love, Light & Gratitude to you and yours this holiday season!!!

I have waiting for MONTHS to photograph Mama C. Its not every day you get to photograph one of your best friends. My dear sweet friend is radiant, and completely glowing! This mama to be is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside. She was completely up for anything and so comfortable in her own skin, It was an incredible experience for me to really express my artistic side. Here are some faves…
