Pictures, Pictures, and MORE Pictures

Wow! So many people wanting pics this month and next...it's like a tidal wave, but a good one! Families, maternity, births, newborns...and I am so blessed! Thank you Jesus for the extra money! Given the oppotrunity to do a wedding, but it's so much work, and so much to consider. I may jump in as a back up photographer, can always use practice :)!

So lots of practice in the horizon, and the joy is that my girls have come along and been practicing as well. That to me is priceless! People are blessed, my girls are blessed, I am blessed, my family is blessed with a little extra, and again...thank you Jesus!

Rain In the Forecast!

Ok, think a maternity shoot in the rain would be cool? I TOTALLY THINK SO! We'll see...rain in the forecast, but hey, a little rain never hurt anyone.

LOVE IT!

Ok, LOVE the new camera!!! BUT...there's always a but...gotta upgrade my photoshop...shucks! BUT LOVE THE CAMERA!

New Camera!!!

Well, finally broke down. Had to do it, wasn't gonna take anymore photos without a new camera. Been having problems with my 20D for a while now, and for some reason Canon can't fix it right, but they didn't have a problem charging me for the lack of service. :(

Anyway...I'm trying out the new 7D. Went back and forth for some time, and this is the one...unless I want to spend 5K, which I'm not into right now ;).

Looking forward to trying it out Tuesday, and it has video, WHAT? What will they think of next?

What's In A Name?

Well, I finally broke down. I'm a little sad, but it's really ok! Several years ago my dear hubby came up with an amazing name for my photography business. I told him I wanted it to reflect my sweet Jesus, afterall He is the one who gives us our gifts, and He deserves the credit! So I began Master's Touch Photography.

I thought the name was perfect, because my talent is directly related to the Master's touch in my life. For several years I looked into getting a domain for this name, but it seemed that there were other photographers with the same name, therefore my .com domain was not available. I was also unable to get a blog with my name due to it being used too. I put it off, not sure what to do. I felt like the name was unoriginal now, and it made me sort of sad. People probably assumed that my name meant I was the master with some sort of creative touch when it came to photography. All of a sudden I wasn't so happy with it.

Anyway...I just left my name go, and contimplated for a couple years whether or not I should just use my name, as the chances of another Tonya Risser Photography was likely not to happen. I just couldn't make the switch everytime I thought of it. Over the past year or so I went back and forth, and after speaking to a good friend I realized, God doesn't care what name I give my photography business, as long as I give Him my business, allowing Him to make it what He wants it to be.

So, officially I am now Tonya Risser Photography, with credit still to the ultimate Master...Jesus Christ!

So, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!
