Spotted: The Man Behind Spotted Photography

April 18th, 2013

Being a freelance photographer is not all art and freedom (heck, it almost never is). And I’m not gonna lie, I was completely unprepared for anything other than those two. What do you mean I have to set up a workflow? Studio management? Taxes? What?
So on my own, I was pretty much set to fail at this whole photography-as-a-career thing. Seeing that I’m not amazing at a lot of other things, that disappointment would have probably damaged me good. I could see myself becoming a hoarder or maybe one of those people that play farm games on Facebook or something.
Luckily, I was never on my own.
Now let me pause this post for a second to let you know that this is not one of those I’m-married-and-we’re-happy-and-life’s-perfect-and-that’s-why-I-blog-about-what-I-had-for-dinner-and-what-I-wore-for-a-picnic blog posts. Yuck. 1) Nobody gives a shiz and 2) yeah, nobody cares.
Back to my point- I have a great business partner (and yes, he’s my husband, but let’s not make a big deal about it).
While I seem to be incapable of paying a bill on time, he thrives in anything that involves management and financial responsibility. Seeing my inadequacy, he kindly volunteered as tribute. And that’s how Spotted Photography works.

So here’s to Mr. Gautier. Thank you.

Spotted: A Bright and Fresh Family Session

April 4th, 2013

BE STILL MY HEART. This little girl makes me cry every time I see her in a picture. It’s as if all the cuteness in the world was just poured in her. Yes, she can be a bit mischievous during photo sessions, but I guess it pushes me to be a better photographer- actually, more like it pushes me to make a complete fool of myself by making the silliest faces and noises to keep her entertained. She is so darn adorable though… it’s worth it.

Marcel and Bruna are the most loving, dedicated parents Victoria could ever get. No one gets a smile out of this baby girl as well and as quickly as Marcel. They have this natural, playful chemistry that is heartwarming to watch, and comes in super handy when taking pictures. And Bruna cannot get enough of Victoria. Whenever I pick my niece up to go on a “date” with me (thinking that I’m being an awesome aunt while also being the best sister ever by giving mama some time off and all), Bruna will call me two hours later saying that she misses her. I know she means this in the most honest, not-controlling or overbearing way. She just misses her little girl, and who can blame her?

When Bruna found out she was having a girl, she asked my mom for some of the clothes us girls used to wear. This one used to be mine, and I wore it when I was about a year old. Victoria wore this vintage look with class, making her aunt super proud.
