New to this photography section!

[hey_jude]

I thought I would introduce myself with a photo post! I am new to Chazhound and joined because I am getting a 7 and a half week old border collie pup on Monday. I posted some pictures of him awhile back in the other pictures forum, but someone told me to check out this forum so I thought I would post a few of my own work.

I'm actually a professional children and family photographer and I operate with one business out of Connecticut and another out of Austin, TX- where I now live permanently. Family photography isn't only my livelihood but it's my passion. I'm pretty lucky to get to say that and I definitely feel blessed everyday. I genuinely love what I shoot. I wish I still got out there and did landscapes and other genres like I used to, but sometimes at the end of the long work day the last thing you want to do is pick up a camera. Hopefully soon though! Now that I live in Texas I'd like to do some sunset field work.

I shoot with a Canon 5d and 85 1.2 about 95% of the time, shoot in jpeg, and edit in photoshop exclusively.

Nice to meet everyone! Some great work here! Here is some of mine:

















Those are just some recent favorites Sorry for the watermarks- I just take everything from my blog and I have to watermark things on my blog to protect my clients and also to protect myself from right-click-saving clients- haha.

**Also, my color seems to veryyyyy off on here which is strange because everything is srgb. Not sure why everything is looking so dull- sorry about that! The color looks better on my blog at Erin Bell Photography Blog Connecticut Children’s Photographer - Just realized everything just looks back in firefox.

Nice meeting everyone!

Very amazing photos! You have a good eye for capturing that perfect shot with the different angles.

Beautiful shots! I really love the last two photos you've posted here. The smile of that little girl just lights everything up.

Thanks guys! It's so fun to have my own little puppy to photograph now- he's my favorite new subject. I put some picturs of him in the other picture forum.

Thanks for comments! I'm glad to join in.
