I don't currently have a studio, so I work with as much natural light as I possibly can. I like natural light, but I also like expanding my skill set and that means learning studio lighting.
My church is doing an in-house pictorial directory and I am one of the photographers! While this is not the style photography I'm planning on doing for my business, it's experience and I'm always looking for opportunities to practice all the things I'm learning. People talk about networking and I doubt there is a better network than the homeschool community. I know a family that used to do photography, so I reached out to them to see if they had lighting I could borrow for this shoot. Goal for this week: play with these lights. It's a rough life when I have to play with photography equipment, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for my business. This is going to add to my skill set, broaden my experience, and give me more time using my camera. I'm working up to my 10,000 hours mark. Honestly, I have no idea where I'm at, but I know it's far from the expert goal. Another reason I'm excited to do this is because, for me, photography is about service. My business is about service. That is generally going to take the form of serving families, but this is a gift God has given me, so I'm going to use it for Him in anyway I can. Serving my church is one way I can be a good steward of what He has given me. We’ll see how it goes this Sunday. I’ll post about how it went next week. Also, coming soon to the blog should be a senior photo session or two. I don’t have them scheduled yet, but I would think in the next couple of weeks. Be on the lookout!

Hi! I'm Sarah!
I am a natural light portrait photographer. I've been taking photos since 2014 and would eat a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch everyday if I could. Thank you so much for stopping by. I blog about sessions, things I'm learning, stuff in my life, and information for YOU, my client. If you like what you see around the site, I'd love to work with you! I'd also love to connect with you on Instagram. I'm @sarah_jayne_photo :) Archives
