As the title suggests, it's been an incredibly busy week here at Chloe Mackenzie Photography. The formal that I photographed last Friday turned out great, but it was a lot of work. I got through the editing super quickly as I knew converting to disc would take a while....ended up taking about 2 solid days just to burn the images to the discs. Granted, I was flattered that I was booked. It was my first major photoshoot, and was sort of a tester. It took me out of my comfort zone, which I've promised myself that I will be doing more often. Although I did enjoy it, it is a lot more work than what I expected it to be. It will be something I would considering doing again in the future, but events wouldn't be an avenue that I would like to specialize. I much prefer newborns. Which is why I have not advertised or mentioned it on my social media pages.
On Saturday I also photographed a beautiful young family. It was quite challenging, as it consisted with a toddler and a newborn, but ultimately it was very rewarding. I got some amazing shots of the family at the beginning, but then the little man was far to interested in my camera to sit back down with his mum. Eventually I decided that getting some images of him in his element (running around, getting excited over everything from leaves to ducks) was the best way for this shoot to become a success. His smile was enough to make any photograph memorable.
Tomorrow I will be traveling to photograph a gorgeous mum to be.......I may be a little bias as she is my sister, but I can not wait. It's finally a chance for me to test out my new softboxes, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
I've been considering and pondering where my blog is going. I understand that my audience isn't large (I actually don't think there's anyone reading this), but it helps me to unwind when things are getting quite busy, which is nice.
