I'm a Canon girl. I shoot with a 5D and have a 20D backup.

I'm a self professed lens junkie and I love L glass. My current lens line up is:

Canon 35 mm f/1.4L

Canon 50 mm f/1.2L

Canon 85 mm f/1.2L

Canon 135 mm f/2L

Canon 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS

First things first .... the first step to creating an image to make sure that your image is properly exposed and well lit. There is no "fix all" for photoshop or action that can make any photo good, you must start with a good image and then enhance it. Now that my PSA is done .... I use Lightroom to process my images and then pull them in to Photoshop for additional retouching if needed. When I do use actions I like Totally Rad Actions but with my own tweaks added.

Because my clients are expecting my complete attention and I expect to give that to them I do not allow other photographers to shadow me.

Practice, practice, practice. Make sure your work is consistently good ... properly exposed, well lit, good composition ... before you begin thinking about turning photography in to a career.

And now on to the second subject in the title .... My Loves! Here's a couple of images of each of my kiddos from this weekend. And these images are just sooooo them. I love Alison in her pink sunglasses and ponytail and the way she holds her hands together when she's cold. And then my Gabe ... he's so funny. I love his big laugh and even his shaggy long hair and chapped lips because he licks them when he's concentrating on something. Oh, I love my babies!
