Christy Martin Photography bio picture

When asked when I became a photographer, my mind drifts back to 'Show & Tell' in Kindergarden.  Out of all my toys and dolls, I brought my little point-and-shoot camera to class. (I still have the photo I took that day of my kindergarden class!) 

Photography is my passion.  It inspires me.  It relaxes me.  It excites me.  It is also the reason I don't get nearly enough sleep at night.  Aside from client's sessions, you'll also find images of food or recent trips.  More than anything, you'll see a lot of my family.  Afterall, it's the new freckle on Ross' nose or Rayna's curls that make me so thankful I get to document life's wonderful memories.  

Marty, Missy & Maddy

Okay, I had a lot to write about this crazy, sweet and fun-loving family… but I just got a Facebook comment from Missy hinting that she was going to stay awake tonight to see her Sneak Peeks.  Since my bedtime has been around 2:30am each night this week, I decided to quickly post her images where she can go to bed at a decent time tonight.

The last time I photographed this family, Marty had requested a few shots with his Bible.  I loved the images we captured that day, as well the Story Board Missy created for Marty with those meaningful images.  Well, let’s just say Marty had another ‘creative‘ idea for this maternity session. 

I learned 2 valuable lessons from these next images:
1.  When a client makes a request that could potentially jeopardize the integrity of my business, it’s okay to politely decline.  
2.  Before I ‘promise’ to post a ridiculously crazy ‘desired’ image on my blog for the world to see, make sure the image properly represents the style and feel I’ve worked so hard to establish.  1Just kidding.  You know I totally love you guys.  Your craziness is part of the reason I LOVE our sessions together!

I did go to bed early around 11:30, but I did dream about the pictures all night and got on first thing when I woke up this morning. I hope I didn't keep you up to long.
