Mondays With Megan - Meet Tabitha Patrick

Happy Memorial Day and welcome to the second installment of "Mondays With Megan!" I hope you all had a chance to check-out Kim Torres Photography's work last week.

Today, I want to introduce you to one of my very favorite photographers, Tabitha Patrick of Tabitha Patrick Photography located in Port Huron, MI. Her use of natural light (indoors and out) is flawless. I love her clean, crisp shooting and vibrant colors. And I'm always in awe of how she styles her sessions. Tabitha mainly shoots seniors, fashion editorial and commercial work. In other words, she's one busy lady. Enjoy Tabitha Patrick Photography!

How long have you been in business?

I've been shooting for 5 years, and in business for about 3 years.

What's in your camera bag?

In my bag I have Canon Mark 5d II, 50mm 1.4, 70-700 2.8 IS, and a Lensbaby Composer Pro.

How would you describe your style?

My style is continuously changing and developing but I gravitate to a more edgy and modern style.

Do you shoot on location or in a studio?

I shoot BOTH! We have SUPER, super cold winters here (it's awful) so I like to stay

indoors, I have a small studio in my basement. In warmer months though, absolutely on

 location.

What would you be doing if you weren't a photographer?

I think I'd be in the fashion industry, doing make up, or running runway shows or

something. LOL! I love the fashion world and pop culture.

Styled Shoot at the Fair from JOJO Photography & Film

I am completely and utterly and totally IN LOVE with this session from JOJO Photography & Film. I myself have been wanting to do a photo session at our little fire department carnival (which just happens to be going on now!) but I've hadn't had any takers. Lucky for us, JOJO did and here is the awesome results. The vintage feel. The muted tones. The back light. The funnel cakes! It's all here.

From JOJO: "I have been wanting desperately to do a photo shoot at the fair. I found the perfect outfit at Janie and Jack. All I had to do was find a little girl to fit into it and shine. I found Little G. She was so much fun to photograph. The feeling of the shoot is nostalgic. I hope they remind adults of the joy that summer and the fair can bring."

Mondays with Megan - Meet Kim Torres

Welcome to the first installment of "Mondays with Megan." I am so excited to have one of my favorite photographers, Kim Torres, of Kim Torres Photography, as my first featured photographer. Located in San Angelo, TX, Kim is an on-location, natural light photographer. Her pictures are filled with light and vibrant colors! She has an incredible way of making her pictures look absolutely effortless. But my favorite thing about Kim is that she dragged an upright piano out into a field for a Senior Session. Genius! Now, here's Kim Torres!

How long have you been in business?

I've officially been in business a little over 1 year, but I've been shooting for almost 2 years.

What's in your camera bag?

In my bag I have a Canon 5D Mark II: 50 1.2, 70-200 2.8 IS II, 85 1.2 and my macro lens 100mm 2.8. Also, an extra battery and extra CF cards, ChapStick , business cards and more batteries!

How would you describe your style?

My style is very casual and easy going. I used to stress about posing and getting the "perfect" shot, but I soon realized that the "perfect" shot doesn't exist. Some of my favorite shots are the candid ones that I never expect.

Do you shoot on location or in a studio?

I shoot everything on location expect newborns. I have a small indoor studio in my house that is perfect for the little ones.

If you weren't a photographer, what would you be doing?

I was actually going to go to nursing school, but I wasn't very passionate about it. I always wanted to be a photographer but I never dreamed I could make it happen. I finally pushed my fears aside and followed my dreams.
