Birthday Surprise

So today was my Birthday - YaY a big 2 8!

Birthdays have been pretty low key since I am no loger a kid, so I was not expecting anything from anyone.

But to my surprise my Dad made me a newborn shoot set up!! You know the contraption that holds your back drop and your beanbag chair sits in the middle.

I was so excited! it looks super great and is going to come in handy for getting those baby poses.

My First Shoot AHHHHHH!

WAKE UP at 6:00 am, just like any other day, get dressed, have breakfast, and get on our way. We had to be at the shoot location for 9:00 am. Since I was doing this shoot for Family my Boyfriend and fur babies came with me for support :)

Over all it went well and I got some great pictures. But gosh it is a lot more work then you might think!!! Since I am just starting out I am not fully equipped with tones of props or a proper backdrop holder but I guess it will all come in time.

Here are a few pics from the Shoot, hope you enjoy!

My logo for the world to see

Well based on my profile picture you can guess how my name will appear to the world but , oh gosh, coming up with a logo for Brittany Fish Photography has been a challenge!!! I wanted something that was reflective of my name, but I did not want it to be too gimmicky. You would think drawing a simple fish would be easy, but its not. Should the fish be cartoonish, should it be elegant, should it be fish bones? Too many options.  

The font I chose for my title was a little less difficult then the rest. I knew I wanted something swirly and elegant, it had to be legible otherwise how would you know who I am?

For a while I played around with various placements of single fish to a grouping of fish, and various fonts, nothing really seemed to click.  Then I came across a font called Vivaldi and it gave me the perfect F and inspiration.  Both the F and the B in my name created great circular shapes using this font, and I thought " Hey, make one of them into a fish bowl...".  So the F is was, it just seemed fitting since everything started with F...lol.

I hope that everyone likes my final decision :)

Here is what I came up with incase you don't want to visit my  Facebook page Brittany Fish Photography (but please do and like it!):

Just the beginning...

Staring out my window trying to figure out how and where to start my new adventure...photography.

I have always enjoyed art be it painting or picture taking and have played around for a few years now with my Pentax not using it to its fullest potential and decided it was about time. Since I love taking pictures and have always loved looking at everyone's newborn photos cause honestly who does not love looking at those adorable babies with their wrinkly, soft skin? So I thought why not me? Why couldn't it be me taking those photos?

The answer was it can be me and it will be me, cause the only person holding me back is myself. So this is where my journey begins. I hope that anyone who comes across this will enjoy and maybe tag along on my new journey.
