Excuses....

June is about to end and there are a lot of things happening in June... at least with lower workload, I have manage to keep everything under control and clearing some backlog... but more is to be done...

My aim for my photography at the moment is to further improve and refine the techniques that I have rather than creating new sets of skills.

I was amazed that I could finish the whole newborn session today in a record 2 hours with a cute but fussy baby..... Didn't give me much time and don't like to be at certain position... and the challenge is to refine the images... I am please that despite with some difficulty, I am extremely happy with the result.

With most Asians, they observe very strict confinement period of 30 days for newborn. Hence, makes the newborn photography a little tricky to shoot outside their home.

Home setting is always great as I get to use whatever that is available to me to create new type of images, but studio, props that I need to use is within reach and lighting is always nice.

Little that I know, our client actually told the family that they are visiting the doctors for the baby as an excuse and come for the shoot in the studio. I thought to myself, wow... I am flattered? I really appreciate their commitment to work with me to get the newborn session done within first 2 weeks...

Furthermore, I have a couple of client whose due date for newborn is July... despite knowing that I may not make it back within 2 weeks for newborn session, they went ahead and book it... I feel rather flattered with the demand of my work however I know for sure is that I will need to give back more to them for their commitment of my work. 

Pleasure often come with a bit of stress.

2011 will be the year that we will introduce a new market segment or two... depending on the direction I want to take... the details are being worked on at the moment and hope to announce it as soon as I have got everything done.

Anyway... the PhotoYou magazine is out and looks lovely with the sweet little newborn on its cover... get one today if you have not done so... learn about how we shoot our newborn images and more... will post some of today's images after the clients have a chance to look at it.

Regards,

Hart
