It's from a photography blog, so that's why many of the questions are related to photography ... but obviously it fits in my case.
1) Tell us one sentence to describe your photography:
I strive to create fresh, clean, and modern images that show personality and relationships.
2) What's one thing that everyone should know about you?
I try to work really hard so I can create a nice life for myself + future family.
3) If you were told you could only eat one food for an entire week...what would you pick?
Hmm... burritos!
4) If you could own one exotic animal as a pet what would it be?
I wouldn't neccessarily ever WANT an exotic animal as pet, but I guess if I HAD and MUST pick one, it would be a super cool tropical fish.
5) What is your greatest post processing tip that you are willing to share?:
Keep it simple! I try to limit the actions I use ... I love that "clean" and "sharp" look to my images.
6) If you were given $500 today what would be the first thing you would do?:
Wow, there are so many things I'd like to do. But, I really want to see Alanna and Zayden, so I'd put that $500 towards a plane ticket to go visit them. I stole the pic from Alanna's Facebook!
7) What have you found to be the best resources and/or method of advertising?:
I don't advertise and I never had. I do the Facebook thing for my business, but I'm honestly not sure how far that's getting me yet - I don't get a lot of comments. Word of mouth has been the very best so far, and of course, Google. I think a lot of people find me randomly from through my website.
8) What type of sessions are your favorite (children e-sessions weddings newborns....) and why?:
Engagement Sessions just because they are quick compared to an entire wedding day and they are so easy going and laid back. However, my absolute favorite thing to shoot is the Bride + Groom portraits at weddings.
9) What equipment do you use and if you had only one lens to use...what would it be?:
I use a Canon MarkII 5D and various professional Canon lenses. If I could only pick ONE lens to use for all time, I'd purchase the Canon 50mm 1.2L ... right now I use the 50mm 1.4, and while it's great and all I feel I need right now, I'd splurge on an upgrade if I could only use ONE LENS for the rest of time.
10) What moment in your life makes you smile every single time you think about it?:
Dancing with Chris at our wedding. Not our first dance, but the time we were dancing to Kenny Chesney's "Me + You" and Chantel Kreviazuk's "Feels Like Home." Loved. Cherish. Those. Moments!
11) What is at the top of your wish list right now?:
I feel like I should be saying something related to our new home, but we've spend so many thousands of dollars this month - so I think I'm going to be selfish and just think about me right now, lol. See above question. I really, really, REALLY want the 50 mm 1.2L!
12) What is the first photographer that comes to your mind and why?
Jasmine Star. I love her images and personality.
13) What's the best meal you cook?
I like to cook, but I don't consider myself a great cook. My fajitas are pretty good.
14) If you had an entire Saturday to do whatever you wanted...what would you do?
Ahhhhh ... a free Saturday is such a treat to me. Usually I am busy shooting a wedding from 11-11 or so. Here's my idea of a perfect day: Wake up at about 7:30 and get ready to go. Grab a great coffee from the coffeehouse, then drive to a bigger city and spend the day shopping at unique stores or a fresh market. Then have a quick cafe style lunch. Shop a little more or take a walk along a shoreline. Have a great dinner with a yummy drink. Then catch a movie. I WISH!
15) If we surprised you at your house today what would be the first thing we would notice?
The mess. Everywhere. I try (and want) to be tidy, but I have so many things always going on at once - personal life stuff, photography business, summer school prep, moving boxes. Hopefully once we move into our new house, I'll have dedicated spot for everything as opposed to our cramped apartment. Here's my messy place .... always stuff laying around!
16) What is your favorite word?
Well, it's a phrase, actually: "Love Bucket." My affectionate name for both my husband and cat. LOL.
Ain't, even though it's not REALLY a word. And NO, don't try to tell me it is because it's in the dictionary. IT'S NOT A WORD! Ugh, I hate that word!
Vivid colors, textures, unique. This is actually what was under the wall paper in one bedroom. I love it and I want to get a canvas made of it:
19) What turns you off creatively spiritually or emotionally?
Busy backgrounds + clothing, woodsy areas (for portraits).
20) What sound or noise do you love?
The ocean.
21)What sound or noise do you hate?
Motorcycles.
22) What is your favorite thing to say when you get mad?
Something along the lines of "Effin *Bleeeeep*!" Note that I don't really say effin or bleep. LOL.
23) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Of course, my goal is to have my own classroom teaching, but I supposed that doesn't really count because that's kind of what I do already in addition to photography ... I guess if I was neither a teacher or photographer, I'd like to be a writer. Of children's picture books. Here I am shooting a recent wedding:
24) What profession would you not like to do?
Dentist.
That's all, folks!
Remember, LIFE IS:
