Okay, so yesterday was supposed to be the day for this fabulous feature. However, with a crazy day that was yesterday, and me not getting home until 5 yesterday afternoon, it didn’t happen. So it’s going up today. I’ve managed to finally get sick with all this stupid changing weather that South Texas has had, and let me tell you..it’s not fun. Lucky for me, the hubby was home this morning, but now has to go into work, so I have to pull myself out of the nice, warm, bed and be a mom. 
On top of that, we were let out of school today due to “snow”. I’m still wondering where that snow is.
So…today’s feature is a fabulous and ubber talented gal who I love to pieces. She has been a huge help to me throughout my photographic journey, and I also like to call on her when I need some design help. She was the fabulous person behind all of my marketing pieces, and also the fabulous gal behind my logo. Love her to pieces I tell you. She’s also a lot of fun to talk to just about “stuff.” Hopefully one day I get a chance to meet this beautiful lady, she rocks!
I’m assuming you would like to meet this photographer now, eh? Well, here she is…

Denver, Colorado Portrait Photographer
Where are you from? Where do you currently live?
I am originally from Aurora, CO and I currently live in Aurora, CO
What does photography mean to you? What attracted you to photography?
Photography means the world to me….it gives me a chance to capture memories out of my busy life that I might otherwise forget. I also love to help others to remember every moment of their kids’ lives…not just the day of the photo session, but whatever else is going on around that time, I want them to look at their photos and and say “remember when…”
I’ve been taking photos as a hobbyist for over 15 years, and used to scrapbook a lot. I was attracted to portrait photography when I was pregnant with my son and knew that I didn’t want to miss a single second!
Describe the area of photography you specialize in? Why did you choose this area?
I mostly photograph babies/children and families. I think we all specialize in the age range of our own children, just because that’s what we know the best….but really, my absolute favorite sessions are newborns.
How long have you been a photographer?
I have been a hobbyist for over 15 years, but have only been in business for the last 7 months.
Are you self taught or have you attended formal schooling? What workshops/seminars have you found useful to you?
I am self taught…I have learned so much from online message forums and local photographer friends.
Morning or night owl?
Morning…well…not really morning, but more day hours for sure.
If you could describe your style of photography in 4 words, what would they be?
Clean, crisp, fun, and sweet
Who is your family? Include some pictures of them since we all know that our family is always in our photographs.
My husband of 5 years is Mike and my children are Nicholas (4) and Claire (1.5)
How do you balance work, and your family?
Some days, I have no idea!
We all want to know…what’s in YOUR bag? What lens could you not live without?
I’m a Canon girl…I have a couple of bodies and a variety of lenses…my favorite combo is the Canon 5D Mk2 with the 85L lens or the 24-70L
If you could photograph any person in the world, who would it be? Why?
I just need that one shot of some celeb in some compromising position that I can sell and pay for all of the photog equipment I can dream of….LOL…ok, seriously, I would LOVE to photograph a celebrity for a magazine or some other high profile shoot.
If you weren’t a photographer, what would you be?
LOL…that’s a good question
What helps keep you motivated with photography?
I love browsing for new ideas and trying to get new inspiration anywhere I can. That odd day that my own kids cooperate can keep me going for weeks! =)
Tell us about some of your long term goals (with photography or personal life)?
I would love to say that I have it all planned out…that I have a 5 year plan and a 10 year plan, but I don’t. I’m trying to do the best I can for now and hoping that a few things fall into place for the future.
What blogs do you love to stalk (doesn’t have to be photography related if you don’t want)?
http://www.laurafarrisphotography.blogspot.com/
http://www.laurabrettphotography.com/
http://www.amyrobertsonphotography.com
and I stalk everyone else on Flickr or Facebook!
When you’re not shooting, what are you doing?
My day job is in research. I’m a microbiologist. And, I have a handmade prop business, Hats, Wraps, and more that I do while carpooling to work…and of course, my number 1 job is MOM! =)
Where is one place you would love to travel to?
Italy
What is one thing that you want to do in your life?
Good question
What is a quote that means a lot to you?
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Francesca Reigler
If you could pick one photographer in the world to do a session for you, and your family, who would it be and why?
Lisa Lucky
If you could photograph one area of photography for a day, what would it be, why? (Something other than what you photograph, i.e. architecture, food, boudoir, birth, etc.)
I would love to try boudoir photography for a day…there’s nothing better than making someone look and feel like they are the most beautiful person in the world!
If you could give one piece of advice to someone starting out in photography, what would it be?
Practice, practice, practice!
What magazine could you not live without?
I’m not really a magazine kind of girl. Gasp but I do get a couple, but certainly can live without them.
Please include some of your favorite images….
Farrah it was a blast to be able to have you featured on my website. You’re an inspiration to me in so many ways. You totally rock! Thanks again for being the featured photographer. Leave Farrah and the post some love. We all know how much we love to leave love! Alright, it’s off to make lunch for the kiddos, and then have a movie day. That’s about all mommy is good for today.
