Inspiration

Discouraged. Yep. That's been me. I don't have that lense, or that camera, or that website. My business isn't anything like their's. I've had quite the little break downs by myself these past couple of weeks. I'm so aware of everything that needs to happened and grow. While reading another blog, I loved this quote. "The camera doesn't make the business, the photographer makes the business." Um. Got that, Anne? It's YOU who rocks it, not your equipment or website. :D Holler. :) I'm still working, i'm gonna make my progress and grow, but i'm still good. I still have special things to offer that other photographers don't. (I mean, what photographer breaks into dance at their shoots? I kid, I kid. Sorta. ;)) What an encouragement to remember! What encourages you with your business? I'd love to hear your stories! :)
I'm officially 16! :D Here are some pictures from my sweet 16 ball that I did with my friend Julie! :)









My lovely parents.








My best guy friend. Aka my brother. :)


The first ball I ever went to, when I was 6, Tim was there, and it was so fun having him there! :)





Rachael can rock the camera. (Congrats on getting your own, babe! :D)

1 year.

It's my birthday!! :D Ok. So my birthday isn't till the 20th. But, it's my precious little blog's birthday. :) One year ago today I kick started my business after an amazing internship with Kristen Leigh. I've grown so much! Before that internship I didn't know how to shoot in manual, or know how to work my camera that well. Now, I've learned that I actually prefer shooting in aperture. I hadn't ever looked at Jasmine Star's blog, or Jamie Delaine, and I certainly had never heard of a shootsac. But now I've done family shoots, senior shoots/portrait, infant shoots, couple shoots, and loved every minute of it. If you know me, then you know that after a shoot I often call my editing process "lightroom therapy". I love editing all the pictures and picking the best ones.

This business is my pride and joy. I love it to death, I'm so grateful for everyone who has believed in it or encouraged me along the way. I have such amazing friends in my clients, and I can't wait for you guys to watch me grow, because I am growing! I have so many ideas and thoughts to make this business flourish even more. I'll get there, one small step at a time.






How about we celebrate, eh? If you book me within the next two weeks, you'll receive a $20 discount on any shoot! :)

Happy 1st Birthday blog!

Stay Beautiful,
Anne

Food Shoot

A couple of weeks ago, I had the joy of second shooting for my dad. We were taking pictures for the Shamrock, a Irish pub/restaurant located in Thurmount for their upcoming commercial, which is now out! Here are some of our best ones. :)






*Swoons* Lemon cake! My all time favorite. And let me tell you, it was so good! :)








Everybody loves a good pie.





Now that we're all nice and hungry from dessert, how about some dinner entree's?








Maryland is known for the soft shell blue crabs.

Did someone say food?

I was able to second shoot for my dad this week. It was such fun, because we got to shoot dishes for a restaurant. They are doing a TV commercial and needed pictures for some of their favorite meals. If you know me, then you know I love food. When I go on vacation, I take pictures of every single meal I eat, and i'm kinda known for that. :P Here's a little sneak peak of what's coming once the commercial is out!
