Life Instagram-ed

This past month has been a whirlwind of sessions, family, workouts, disneyland, the beach and even a wedding as a guest.

A couple of years after I started photography professionally, my point and shoot camera broke. And I stopped taking photos of my daily life. I eventually bought a point and shoot, but the photos would stay on the card for months and months before I ever got around to uploading them.

Then some genius created Instagram and well, now I record my daily life and share it with everyone. It's fun to create photos that are a part of the every day and make up bits and pieces of my life. Which is exactly what photography is for.

10 things I've learned as a professional photographer

Working and mommying from home at the same time

We made the decision early on to grow slow in my photography so that I’d have the opportunity to be with my son full time as well. Little did I know that it would be a serious adjustment and being that we don’t live near family or friends, it was a challenge, to say the least.

However, it’s not impossible! Leon has been home more than he has at daycare /school and it’s taken me a while to get a good idea of how to go about it and these are my tips for you at home parents!

How you can help artists during social distancing

Am I worried? A little, but not so much for my health as thankfully, the three of us are pretty healthy and I have confidence in all medical staff and that they are doing what they can to contain this and find a vaccine. Until then, we are social distancing.

What DOES have me concerned is that already I’ve had sessions postponed due to the travel ban, personal reasons, and obviously because it’s just safer to stay home right now.
