Host Mike Howard and Tim Kemperle are joined for Show #15 by Kathleen Bowie of Kathleen Bowie Photography.  Kathleen has been a professional photographer for 9 years focused on people photography, including newborns.  And yes she has added the music back to her site, which I really enjoyed listening to it while writing these notes.  Thank you Kathleen.

KATHLEEN:

• Shots with a Canon Mark 5d II.
• Favorite lens is the 50mm f/1.4, but also uses the 24-105
• She got started shooting weddings where she would “cross my fingers and hope for the best”
• Facebook opened up a new world for her by allowing her to easily see other photographers work.
• She improved her skill by taking a lot of photos and asking people she trusted for their honest opinion.
• She tries to limit the number of photo session per month to 3 or 4 and at first struggled with the thought of turning down business.
• She prefers the newborns be 10 days old, or less and a newborn photo session generally last 3-4 hours.
• As a natural light photographer, she tries to time her shoots around the sun, but also must take into account the “happy time” of the child.
• Dad’s can be an issue at times.  Come on Dad’s, we can do better!
• Her main printer is White House Custom Color http://www.whcc.com/
• She also gives out a CD of the images with a printing release, retaining the copyright of course.
