Hi All!
Welcome to my new website past readers, and hello to my newbies. For a while I've been wanting to change my photography name. Over five years ago friends of mine, who had known that I was moonlighting as a photographer for a long time, encouraged me to build a website and start advertising my work. Up until that point people simply found my through friends and I didn't do much self promotion. I struggled with the idea of going online for a long time. Not a web designer I was certain my novice skills in creating the best .com would take away from my work, hiding the passion I put into my craft. I'm still grateful to this day that I took the leap and got in the internet game, but even back then I knew that naming my business something generic didn't match up with who I was as a person and an artist.
It's taken me a few years, a lot of learning, and many iterations of my site to even get close to something I'm proud of but it's still a work in progress. I think that's what I love about art, that it can constantly morph, adapt, and change as we grow as a human.
So welcome to my new site, I hope you stop by periodically and say hello.
As a way to introduce myself I wanted to start by re-posting something from my old webpage that I think gives a good glimpse of who I am as a photographer and the message I want to send those looking to get into it.
I hope you enjoy!
I'll never forget a phone call ten years ago with my mother. I was rattling off some escapade my best friend Sassy and I had gotten into over the weekend, when she stopped me mid sentence.
"You know, you two really should do a podcast."
Back then podcasts were just getting up and running. Though Sassy and I were in radio (she has the voice of a radio queen, and I can talk a lot so we make a good pair), we didn't know much about the medium... which in retrospect would have been a great time to get into it. I guess even at 23 your first instinct can be - I know you think I'm talented Mom, but who would want to listen to me speak? - instead of - Wow, you really think we could do it?
Flash forward 10 years, a lot of life experience, and a sprinkle more wisdom later, and now not only am I trying to convince my best friend to do a podcast with me, but I was HONORED to be asked on as a guest of a kick ass woman focused Podcast. The Not Starving Artist!
