			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In an earlier post I said that who I am is very much a part of my business.  This got me to thinking that maybe I should share a little bit more of me with my readers, and clients.  I think ten years ago, people wanted to know that the photographer they were hiring would take excellent photos, and that&#8217;s it.  I may be wrong since I have not been in this business ten years but it seems to me that our culture has shifted a bit, and one of the main reasons we go to a small business is the person behind it.<br />
<span id="more-3096"></span><br />
A while back, after a haircut, I told my <a href="http://www.dannyleeshepard.com">hubby</a> that I needed to find a new hair stylist.  He looked a bit confused since I seemed happy enough with the haircut.  I explained that I did not enjoy the experience.  The cut could be the best ever but if sitting in the chair and chatting with my stylist is not enjoyable then I am not happy.  It&#8217;s not just about the product, but the experience, and the relationship.  </p>
<p>I want my clients to be excited about their photos and have enjoyed all their interactions with me.  I get to be a part of very intimate and cherished moments so a connection is important.  I think a little personal series of posts is a good way to give clients and potential ones a way to get to know me.  Check back soon for the start of my <em>Behind the Photographer</em> series, with a personal post each week.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll start with a personal photo.  This was taken along a coastal trail in Yachats, Oregon, just a few minutes walk away from <a href="http://www.overleaflodge.com/">Overleaf Lodge</a>, an incredible hotel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s all of a sudden looking like a busy weekend.</p>
<p>I have an engagement session with a Vancouver couple who is getting married this summer in Yachats, Oregon, at the Yachats Inn.  They are having a beach wedding right on the sand!  We are doing engagement portraits on the Discovery Trail in Washington.  Hopefully the weather cooperates.</p>
<p>Next, I am really excited to be asked to design a wedding album for a couple who got married a couple years back.  Their photographer is unable to design the album, and she saw my post below.  I also can&#8217;t wait to show my new albums to a client for the first time.</p>
<p>On to the business/ lifestyle portrait.  It is for my hubby.  He has been asking me for months to do photographs for him, and I finally decided to schedule him in as a client.  Otherwise all he gets is  adorable shots of him with our daughter, which doesn&#8217;t really work for his blog, or resume.</p>
<p>Hopefully I can squeeze in some self portraits too.  The images on my home and about pages are from summer, definitely time to update!</p>
