      My 5DMKII, always my 24-70L and either the 70-200L OR the 50 1.4 04 1.2 as back up. I've never used a reflector.

      They are all usually the same way (either full color, vintage or B&W)....sometimes I play with other editing though. Just depends. The look can depend a lot on the location (coloring), lighting, etc though. I shoot at different locations and weather/lighting is always different....so sometimes I can do the same shoot at the same time of day.....but it will look totally different because the sun wasn't out one day....or the sun was out TOO much one day, etc ;)

      This can vary. I always say "approximately 30 images"....but it usually ends up being more than that ;) I try not to go TOO far over that number...because honestly....I have had shoots where I get hundreds of great shots.....but I CAN'T spend forever editing ALL of them. Plus, people get overwhelmed when they get TOO many choices...so yeah, I try to stick around 40-ish for my sanity and theirs ;) The 40-ish is different images though and doesn't include B&W and/or vintage edits (of certain images).

      This is a tricky one, because everyone is different. I personally love my 24-70L. It's good for close ups, yet also great to be close, yet shoot wide. It's very diverse....but also very heavy ;) haha. For me, shooting with primes with toddlers/kids is tricky, because you want to give them their face....not be just inches away from them....and let's be honest here....my fatt butt can't keep up with their quickness ;) ...so zoom is great ;) For what it's worth, I have a 50 1.4 and a 50 1.2....and have never used either entirely at a shoot. I HAVE used my 24-70L *solely* at many shoots though. Hope that helps!

      Sometimes if you brush their cheek lightly with your finger, they will smile. Other times, it's just pure luck (or gas? ;) haha) and it just happens.....like in the case of Audrey :)

      Thank you! I use Photoshop and use a few Totally Rad Actions, MCP Actions and a few others....BUT there are none that I run alone (to my personal liking), so they are all tweaked to my own personal preference :)

      I still always use my 24-70. I just sold the 50 1.8 since I used it maybe twice. I still need to play around with the 1.4 and 1.2. So far, i'm not a prime gal though. Those kids just move to fast for my fat butt ;) haha

      Hahaha....I probably have less now!....since I always seem to be working weekends and never can make it to anyone's b-day parties and stuff ;) jk. Hmm....i'm really not sure. It feels about the same. Acquaintances I definitely have more of...but actual "friends" is about the same :)

      I have a lot of wonderful photographer friends locally :) The main ones I hang out with all the time are wedding photographers though, so although we are all photographers, shoot wise, we are on two totally different "playing fields" :) Oh and I met them through mutual friends, some from local message boards, etc.

    18. Julie

      Definitely. There are SO many photographers out there...and not much is original any more. I just TRY and make my work a little more distinct. I don't want my photos to look like I just studied a photography message board and copied what everyone else is doing. It's gets tiring seeing the same old poses, same old props, etc, so I try to think outside of the box.
