The week of June 25

This week I spent my evening working on the website and looking at different things that I could do to display images. I put the pictures on many different layouts until I found the layout that worked for each page. As soon as I have the website up and running I will share the link to the website once it is officially up. I have a photo shoot on the third to go to and a few more after that. I am looking forward to going to more photo shoots and doing more editing.

Website week

This week we spent a lot of time researching websites that work well for her business. I found a website called Wix and I started putting together some photos from her sessions and designing the web page. I am learning that creating a website is a lot more work than I would have ever thought. I am working on pages for pregnancy, family, senior pictures, and sports. Lindsay is helping me learn what works well for a photography website and the kinds of things I should look for when picking out a website. A website is a good way to promote a business and she is helping me work on my marketing skills as well as my photography skills.  I also went and to pictures at a sheep show and I worked on my editing skills. I worked on taking pictures of livestock quickly and lots of them hoping to get a good picture at the back drop. I also am learning that some of the best pictures I get are ones that are not posed for, but ones you get when you least expect them.

CD Week

This week we were able to get the CD to the bride and groom to see the pictures from the wedding. Lindsay and I went through all of our photos and put together an album that we felt represented their wedding. She helped me with editing my pictures and so much more. I also went to a sheep and goat show and was able to help photograph kids from Wood and Ottawa County. I am learning a lot from this internship and my photography skills are truly improving.
