Last week I shared my Third Event As A Photographer. Business for my cousin has picked up and I am excited to get more events in with her. More events means more practice and improvement for me and of course I like the reward of getting paid for my work too. I don’t consider myself a professional quite yet but I do put a lot of work and time in on the shots I take as well as the editing. I am pleased that I can help out my cousin as she builds her business and charge her such a low and reasonable price. She just recently told me I am getting a raise because she has been so pleased with my work! 😃🎉 On top of that she knows how difficult it is for me to pick up and leave home to do this. I am only able to do this because my husband doesn’t work on weekends and he is able to be home with the kiddos.

As I stated before the editing is the most time consuming part, especially when you’re a perfectionist like me. I like to get things looking the best as possible and I keep working at it until I feel it’s there. I love attention to detail and I appreciate the littlest ones. My cousin told me

I love your eye for my tables!

She hired someone else recently when I wasn’t able to shoot for her. She told me she loved the pictures but they lacked attention to detail and didn’t capture the angles of the tales she was looking for. I must admit it boosted my confidence and made me feel pretty special.

I love that I only have to take photos of the decor and set up of the events and not of the people attending them. I feel I am better at taking photos of objects and nature more than I am of people.

For sure I am checking you out Haha Nice that business is picking up. And hands up for daddy taking care of the kiddos 😉

Haaa! Thank you! Yes I couldn’t do this without my husband that’s for sure!

Same here

You did a fabulous job!! ♥
What a fancy party! I bet the kids loved it. I dont blame your friend for wanting YOU for the photography, you are amazing at it!

Thank you so much!! Awww you’re so sweet! I love shooting her parties because they are always so high class and fancy!! 😁

I bet! They look like they would be fun to shoot! :D

Sound like a very cool gig and the photographs definitely look very professional!

Hope you can get a couple more of these jobs in the future :)

Yay!! Thank you so much for your feedback. My goal is to give her a professional quality. I hope to keep getting better and better! 😃

Welldone babe!
From needle work to photography...
That's an awesome journey !!

Thank you dear!! Haaaa! I guess I do wear a lot of hats lol!! It’s keeping me young!

Is your cousin an event planner? The idea of this party intrigued me and made me think how much fun it would be for everyone. Great photos!

Yes she is! She gets these visions and runs with them! She said the teens all had a lot of fun!

Thank you!!

Great shots! I love the party decorations too, it looks like a great theme. Those gold candlesticks are beautiful, love them!

Thank you so much! Yes her decor is always so Fab!

The setting reminded me a bit of The Great Gatsby, @crosheille. Great photos and hope the party was enjoyable too.
Do you also then take photos of the party goers ?

I can see that @cryptocariad! I had to look it up because I have never read the novel or seen the movie but I see the resemblance of the setting! 😃

No, I come early before the event begins (during the final setup stages) and then I leave before they start. I never have to take photos of people which I prefer anyway. That way I can get in and get out in about an hour or 2 and don’t have to stay longer.
