Sarah Tolson presents a Great Blog for Photographers..

Posted on August 24, 2009

I heard about this website through a friend, who is also a photographer. I am always delighted to find a new blog to stalk, as that is one of the ways I learn more about my business (i.e. Lighting scenarios, posing ideas, clothing samples..). However, I’m usually not excited enough with my blog finds to tell my husband about it… umm.. because he has other things on his mind besides what I read on the Internet.

Sidenote time – I personally think he should be out of breath and giddy with every tidbit of knowledge I have to tell him but.. whatev!

This blog though.. This information-packed glorious webspace.. Yeah, it was one I had to speak to him about. I was literally so excited about some of the marketing ideas I read that I made a list and read it to him. And yes.. I am a big list making dork… ok.

I should post the link for you, huh. That way you can go see for yourself. Reading about ideas that work for other people is a great way to get ideas for yourself and your business. Not every idea will work for you, but you won’t know until you try, right?

Have fun… The Savvy Photographer

Love Learning..

Sarah Tolson Presents A photo competition..

Posted on August 19, 2009

Hi.

How are you??

Me? I am doing great, thank you for asking. I did want to let you know that I have been accepted in a photo competition and would love it if you wouldn’t mind placing a little vote-y vote for me. (Only if you think the photos deserve it, of course.)

What?

Oh.. you would like the links to make it easier for you? Of course I can do that!

I had made a series of beautiful faces around San Diego, all in a high contrast black and white, and they were accepted! I deeply appreciate your time, and I will let you know how it goes!! (In fact, there is an amateur competition with fabulous grand prizes too.. You should totally enter..Umm for reals!!)

This is the link to the most popular one.. I need your votes!!

Thanks for all of your help friends!!

Love Photo Contests..

San Diego Photography presents A big happy family..

Posted on August 11, 2009

I love repeat clients. Can I say that again?? I love when I take family pictures and a year or so later, I get to capture some more moments for a family I already know. It kinda makes me feel like part of their family.. just a little bit.

And, obviously, it means that they like me… they really like me!

Here is one such family. I took the M family’s pictures when their sweet baby girl wasn’t even a thought yet. Both boys have grown so much, and it was all I could do to pick up my camera and snap. Why?? Because Little Miss was the squishy-est, pink-est, and most kissable delight of a baby you have ever seen. I asked if I could have her, but they declined.

Dangit..

Here are just a few sneak peaks for you guys. Your gallery will be up soon. Thanks for letting me capture some more great moments for your entire family.

Gotta love that color..
