Last weekend I tried my first non-Vivie photo shoot. I was pretty pleased with the results...oh, my beloved Nikon & index finger! Not too shabby. After taking like 450 photos in 1 1/2 hours (thank you, digital) I think we ended up with a large amount of really nice options! It was my friend's daughter's pre-baptism photos. I think as I practice a bit more and gain some more confidence and actually figure out what I'm really doing I may just have to make this more than just a hobby...I know, I've been saying that for a LONG TIME. But I think I can charge for this quality, don't you? Any tips...master photographers Katie? Julie? Pam? Bring it on! Yeah, I should enroll in a DSLR class, but I fake it really well, don't I? On second thought, maybe anyone could get this quality with a DSLR and a live, working finger. Here's just a handful of them; you can click on the contact sheet to enlarge it...ah, isn't Baylee a darling girl???

Good job, Shay - made a lot easier when the subject is so darn cute!
Holy Gosh, those pictures are beautiful. One of those talents that I really envy. So in addition to not taking good pictures, I am also full of jealousy. Nice.
Yep, I would pay money for that. And LUCKY! You have a beach.
Those pictures are beautiful! Very good job. You could totally charge for those!
Yes! Your hobby would make moolah! These pictures are beautiful, I only wish we lived by eachother so I could hire you!
Those are great!
I love them! I'll pay you for some beach photos when we're down in October if you want! Seriously!
Beautiful job!
Yes you could definately charge for those. No doubt. It doesn't take much more than that. You've got the talent. Now just figure out what you want to charge for it. My general rule? I never leave the house for less than $100. It's just not worth it to me to do it for less any more. You do an excellent job, seriously.
I'm so proud of you! Those look fab!! Hope we get some good fam pics while your here. I'm a little intimidated w/ your big crew, but beacuse you are all so beautiful it eases my worries a bit:)
Those pictures are darling!! You did a GREAT job...I wish I had that talent!
Beautiful pics Shay! You really do have a little knack, don't you? Bailee is sooo adorable and you really captured HER! FUN! Wanna do some of each of my kids too? How much? Gosh, is there ANYTHING you can't do , girl?
Beautiful pictures! I'm a photographer too! I love, love, love to take pictures! Just starting out myself with the same insecurities and wish to do better and be like the "professional" photographers! This was the first year that I actually made some money from it. Yeehah!
