Finding a Photography Niche

03.22.10

I read over and over that to succeed in the photography business you must have a niche. I’ve honestly been looking for my niche for eight years now, since I started this business. I’ve recently come to a realization that the truth is I don’t want to just photograph one type of thing, i.e. a “niche”. I love variety, I love surprise, I love working with all kinds of people and situations — I love it all!

So if someone asks me my niche I am just going to reply with “I photograph everything!” because I do and I’m happy doing it!

Below are some of my favorite images from the night:

It was a really stormy and cold day the day of Jeff and Carrie’s engagement session. It ended up being more of a “mini session” but we made it work. Here are a few of my favs:

Happy (almost) Spring Everyone!!

I’m still trying to catch up on blog posts. I have several to post I just haven’t found the time. Now that spring is here I have a ton of shoots coming up so I better hurry and post the ones that I haven’t gotten to. By the way, I’m looking for an intern to do this stuff for me so if you are interested send me an email.

Below are a few family photos I took of the May family during the Holidays:
