2012

Well, it's 2012. And among my resolutions is to be more active on my blog. I will come up with a fantabulous idea then get busy with my kids and forget to do anything about my idea. I'm going to do better.

Here are some big changes coming up for Lambourne Photography this year

1 - I am shifting the focus of my business. I have focused on weddings and family photography while skirting around kids and newborns even though - ironically, I'm sure - my passion is newborns and kids. Especially newborns. 2011 brought me the opportunity to work as an independent contractor with a company which does newborn photography inside hospitals. Through them I was able to photograph over 200 newborns and I. LOVE. IT. Outside of my own children nothing brings me more joy than holding a brand new itty bitty baby and capturing their beauty for their parents. Love it. Even on bad mornings my mood could be instantly uplifted once I got to hold and photograph a cute little newborn, many times less than a day old. I finally woke up to the fact that THIS is what I want to do in my own studio. Will I still do weddings and other photography? I'm sure I will, but my focus will be newborns and babies under age 1. And I am EXCITED!

2 - I am working on a little business venture that will open up my studio for Mom-ographers and private use. Keep watch for further information on "My Studio by Lambourne Photography".

3 - I have a family. They come first. Regrettably I have spent a lot of time on bad marketing and dead end ideas; time which should have been spent with my 5 children. I'm fixing that this year. And I have faith that by rearranging my priorities I will still somehow make my business thrive...even with the new direction in which I am taking it.

Watch out 2012. Here I come.

And since no photographer's blog post should ever come without a picture, here is one of my favorites from 2011.
