The Hiatus is Over

I'm back. Actually, I never left, just haven't posted anything since the summer. Parenthood is time consuming. So here we go...

The year has picked up for me photographically. In October, I attended a lighting workshop in Orlando. The workshop gave me just the push I needed to get things moving. In the last few weeks, I've done three portrait sessions. Two were families with young children. I had high hopes for using some lighting techniques I picked up in the workshop. But before I took the first shot, it was clear that wasn't going to happen. It became more of a natural light photojournalistic shoot. Given the challenges, I was happy with the results. The last shoot was just husband and wife, so they took direction considerably better than the 2 year olds. More to come...

It's no secret that building up a little photo business requires a lot of marketing. To that end, I created a Facebook Page for Scott Lawrence Photography. The ability to target advertising by age and gender is very attractive. I may also give Google AdWords a shot.
