q .and. a

I am so often asked questions I decided to post a few here along with my most given answers.

1. How long have you been a photographer? My love for photography began when I was 8 years old and was given a compack Kodak camera. I thought it was cool because the negatives came back as round disks. I officially began to pursue my love many years later after the birth of my daughter Jhayce. She is 7.5 years old. My first professional assignment was with Baby Gassy Gooma and I have not stopped since.

2. What type of camera do you have? I shoot with a Canon 50d and on long days I break out my Canon Rebel XT as back up.

3. What is your favorite lens? My favorite lense is my 50mm 1.8. I actually own 3 of them. I can never seems to part with my equipment.

4. Do you shoot studio? Yes and no. I shoot mainly on location however I can bring my studio equipment to you. I have recently decided to open a home studio...stay tuned for progress. I hope to have my home studio complete by early May.

5. How do you get the smallest of children to interact with you and the camera? Simply stated I acted a FOOL. I make noises sing songs and Im not afraid to get dirty. I spend close to 1.5 hour maybe 2 on sessions with younger children. We break for lunch, bathroom/diaper, and for our sanity.

6. Do you interact with Modeling Agencies? No, but often I have designers who are independently owned contact me because of our past boutique modeling. They do inquire about the children on the site ( who have official model releases). I think next to Khaleb and Jhayce , Isabella S. is our most popular!! Another outlet me have is the AWESOME Gretchen Baker of BabyGassyGooma and of Gooma Models!! Gooma Models is an awesome service. Visit www.goomamodels.com for more details.

7. Where are you located? I am located in Baton Rouge, LA however I do shoot in various parishes and states. Just email for details!

8.Do you shoot weddings? No, I do however shoot engagements and bridals.

9.Do you shoot births? Yes, I do prior to the shoot we will map out the actual shots and length of the shoot. Miss Xyla C. featured on the blog was a 7 hour long shoot complete with documentative photography from start to finish.
