Photography Styles....o_O

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLES...

Now this is a decision that I think most photographers struggle with.  You know what u want to do, but sometimes the clientele is just not available...And that my dear readers is a headache from hell to deal with!!!!

So i started photographing (professionally O_o - Remember the last post about being professional) about a year ago...and had this little voice in my head about becoming a CHILD photographer... The reason for this being that i Just <3 love <3 children, their innocence and just plain cuteness  (^^,).... I had the privilege of photographing my first baby last year, and MAN did i have fun???!!!!!!

Did a few weddings, and although I enjoyed seeing the brides look awesome and seeing how special their day was, I just did not have half the fun I had as with previous child shoots..... Don`t get me wrong its not like I don`t love doing weddings, I just prefer to photograph children.

I mean really, can u resist that sweet little angel faces when they smile -_- at you??? Well neither can I..... =D

SO today I had an epiphany  that instead of doing weddings all the time and being ask for it often, (and not getting any lately (OO,)... I`m rather gonna start doing what I want to do, and what I know I`m good at, and that is photographing CHILDREN... maybe this is also the reason why I work as secretary at the local primary school during the week...Cause kids are just so darn CUTTTTTEEEEEE.....

So instead of telling your friends about me for their special day (although I won't decline a weddingshoot), rather remind them to fall pregnant early in their marriage..hahahaha... preggie shoots is just as much fun!!!!

Here`s some of the kiddies i got to shoot....

My First official wedding... Oh the nerves...

Nicky (as we know her) and I met each other a few years ago when we went to college together... She was an absolute bliss to know... her personality attracted a lot of people including me...We weren`t close friends, but it was and is still nice to know her...

SInce I started advertising my business on facebook Nicky contacted me and ask if I would be able to capture her beautiful day... I was shocked and at the same time felt so blessed that someone asked me to do their wedding...At first I didn`t plan to do weddings, but thought about the exposure for my business.... Sooooo I think u can guess I said yes...

But hell was I nervous....I`ve never done this before, but everyone told me that I should just do it...I remember thinking that I will do everything in my ability to take the best shots and give them the best possible photos that I can manage....

So the day arrived and I we were on our way to Struisbaai, where the wedding would take place...

I remember telling myself and praying to God that he will make me calm so that I can get every possible shot there is to capture on ones special day...

Beautiful Struisbaai

We arrived 2hours to early, (lol ^^,) and had to wait for the bride who was still at the hairdresser....That gave me time to calm myself and check out the church...

And to my surprise when it all started I was so calm and gave the best... A lot of eyes on me, but hey I managed.

The day was absolutely beautiful the bride looked stunning and the ceremony was something I wasn`t used to and will always remember....

So after a long day on my feet, the tiredness couldn`t spoil my mood, as I was so happy that I made a total success of the day...

Thanks to hubby...Brandon Smit and my sis inlaw, Cristel Smit for their support!!!

Once again...congrats to the lovely couple!
