      How long does it take you to edit a normal session and how long for a wedding?

      Depending on the session, about 4 hours. I don't shoot weddings. :)

      When editing in PS, do you normally save your images as a PSD and a JPG, or do you just save your images only as JPG.

      I keep the original raw file and save the edited image as a jpeg. I don't think I've ever saved as a psd in my life! :) but ive never really had the need to. If I need to go back and re edit for some reason, my workflow is pretty simple.

      How did you get into wedding photography, were you ever a second shooter or did you jump right in? I'm trying to get into wedding photography and would like to second shoot some before jumping in, how should I go about that?

      I'm not a wedding photographer. Never have been, never will be.

      Your daughter is so sweet!!!! What are your other sites, flickr?

      I'm not really on flickr much anymore. I used to be, but I'm running low on time and energy these days.

      For second shooters at weddings do they normally get paid for being the second shooter? Also if clients choose images that are shot by the second shooter do the pay seperatey for those images or how does this normally work.

      No idea. I don't shoot weddings, nor do
      I second shoot weddings.

      If money was no object, what would be your dream shoot?

      I don't know that I have a dream shoot. I think part of the charm of my job is breezing through simple sessions and conquering challenging sessions. I guess if I had to pick, it'd be fun to do a travel session for a small family somewhere in the woods. Ive always wanted to shoot in the woods. Alas, I live by the beach! ;)
      Also, a twins natural birth session would be AMAZING.

      If a guy friend asked you to take some "sexy" pics of him but nobody else could ever know, would you do it for him?

      Haha- probably not. I don't even take "sexy" pics for lady friends. I refer them to the talented Desiree Hayes. :)

      Do you have a minimum print order? How do you think the best way of implementing one: Every session has a minimum print order of x amount $ or adding in the mpo to the session fee and giving a print credit of x amount?

      I do not have a minimum print order requirement.

      Why did you become a photographer?

      i dont know... that's just where my path lead i guess. a lot of randomness happened that got me here. i never really sat down one day and said "i'm going to become a photographer."

      What do you shoot with and do you only work with natural lighting? I've been curious :)

      Nikon d700 and yes only natural. I tried to jump on the off camera flash band wagon but I felt it just wasn't *me*.

      What is your favorite lens? Are you a canon or nikon shooter?

      50mm 1.4. Though I most often use the 24-70mm 2.8 for family sessions due to the versatility. NIKON-4-EVR <3

      do you take your camera everywhere with you?

      No! Im too scared it'd get broken, stolen, etc. I thought once I insured it I'd feel better about it... But I don't. :P
