I'd like to know what you think is the hardest part of being a photographer. i want to go from doing it as a hobby to professionally, but it's a riskk to leave my job and i wonder if you would do it again.

Don't know if this topic will work but I am sure you have a photo of "an act of kindness" the topic would be PAY IT FORWARD.
A few months ago my family and I attended a wedding in Victoria, after a fun filled night of dancing we worked up an appetite and stopped by Whataburger for a "healthy" snack LOL. Anyway, when we got to the drive-thru window to pay for our food we were handed a note that read "JUST PAYING IT FORWARD - God Bless You!" the cashier said the car in front of us had paid for our meal. We were so touched by this act of kindness we of course paid for the meal of the people in the car behind us. I know we all have crazy, busy lives but a small act of kindness goes sooooo far. Bake cupcakes for your neighbor, pick flowers for your kid's school teacher, send a handwritten note to a great friend just because....PAY IT FORWARD!!

I absolutely love your eye for beauty and am fascinated by these pics. I would love to see more "behind the scenes"...What do the HM pics look like before editing? How long does it take to turn the raw photos into what we see here? etc.

Thank you Tracy, I love that story too. I'm trying to think of a way to mix photography into the random act of kindess idea. It's so lovely. And you are too. :)
Christina, I'm too lazy to find the link, but if you want to scroll through and find the pix from the first hot mama shoot, there are more behind the scenes shots. I think it was in january? feb? I can't remember. I do edit them, but i don't save the "befores", sorry. Mostly what i do is, increas contrast, retouch any blemishes, and sharpen. :)

You nailed this Hot Momma shoot! And good heavens, if I could look like these women when I'm a mom, I will be thrilled!
