A little over a month ago I was spotlighted as one of the (Get to know our Sisters) sisters in church. One of the things they ask is what a favorite past time is. Well, I told them that photography was one of my all time loves, and that you could usually find me with my camera in my hand or very close by. Well, a week or so after the spotlight, I got a call from a sister in the ward asking if I would be interested in doing her daughters engagement pictures, and if so how much would I charge. I was a bit reluctant, but said I would and free of charge. Well the day finally arrived (Saturday) and I was really nervous (I don't know why I always let my nerves get the best of me). But, thanks to a few phone calls, and some awesome loved ones who gave some great coaching, :) I set out with both of my cameras to Logan Canyon (where we did the pictures). I ended up with 2 rolls of film being used, and 370 pictures on my digital camera. It was so much fun, and I may have even landed a few more clients for this summer. Now Ray and I are seriously thinking about me getting my business licence, and starting a small Photography business. We will call it MickelleRay Photography (the name we chose when we first got married, and I thought about doing a photography business). Below are just a few of my favorite poses.

Congrats on the job. You did a great job. I am learning(practicing) to take better pictures. I need to have my camera at the ready all the time. I am constantly getting mad at myself because I don't take pictures when we are doing things. I am trying to do better. Good luck with your new business you will do well. You have always had the nack.
ReplyDeleteWhat program do you use?
lookin good:) Having your own photography business is SO SO fun because you get to do what you LOVE---taking pics! I love it and I'm so glad I started mine, and I'm excited to see what you'll do with yours!!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, but you really do have a awesome talent taking pictures!! Your own business sounds like so much fun and it would truly be successful.
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing that I have wanted to try for a long time. I love taking pictures and designing backgrounds. I think I take decent pictures, but I would love to do it really well someday, and be able to have a job I really love and can do from home. Looks like you are ready to venture into it. I think they turned out really nice. I know Natalie frequently does photo shoots, and I'm sure as you get more experience the same will happen for you.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the pictures!! I knew asking you for help on camera shopping was a good idea! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletei love the pics....will you take my engagement pics when it comes time for them...a few (5 or 6) years!! :)i miss you!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome. Wow I didnt know you did that. I have always thought it would be so fun to do photography but honestly I dont think I have an eye for it. Really though, they turned out great.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't be nervous, we have seen your work. You do a great job. Maybe you will end up doing their wedding, but then you better charge. That will be a long day and a lot of work, you better get paid!
