    My main bread and butter is working for a company that designs sports wear for tennis, golf, and yoga. I'm on the administrative side and work with the buyers but twice a year become a "gopher" for the photoshoots, which is a really neat process plus I get to gab with the make up artist and ask her for beauty tips

    My second job is as a professional princess on weekends for childrens parties and what not.

    Thirdly is the occasional gig playing bluegrass music, but that is more just for fun. Sure do love it though when hobbies end up giving you a wad of cash!

    I use to be a Quality Control Analyst for a company that handled that handled home foreclosure claims. But I got tired of sitting on my *kitten* behind a desk gaining weight lol Now I am working at a women's clothing store called Cato. I really love my job and the work out I get from practically running around the store the heels lol.

    Also I do cake decorating on the side. I don't have a website or anything though lol

    Thats awesome!! yep during shark week i record every episode. i know a girl leaving in a month for south africa to swim with great whites, thats been my exact dream for years (even tho mako's are my favorite, they scare me a little more than great whites tho) so im excited to try to acomplish it! When your son is older and still has the facination with them he should def try to do something with that.......im finally trying to do it and im 25 so tell him to start college for it right after highschool, i wish i did

    I thought it might be fun to see what everyone does for a living. Maybe some of us are in the same biz and don't know it. I am a work at home mom. I own a photography business. I shoot pretty much anything you can think of. Here's my site www.sbphotography.zenfolio.com What about you? What do you do?

    I'm a huge fan of photography but I take much more joy in the editing process at times. I've worked with models and make up artists before but I'm not very good at directing models. How do you usually go abouts with it? I wish they came with acting skills but some than again some photographers have a natural ability to direct. Maybe it's the chemistry too?

    I'm a graphic designer but I like working with all aspects of design whether its film, print, illustrations, typography etc. I tend to dabble in bits of everything. I also like to play music too but thats just a hobby more than anything. It'll be good to do something with it one day though.

    I'm def encouraging the less hands on marine biology work for him. I'd have a heart attack if he swam with them, but somehoe I see it in his future. He already has plans to swim with a dolphin at age 6 when the parks will let him. I figure it probably starts there. I hate to admit it, but my fave thing about Mako's is how they tase. I KNOW FOR SHAME!! My son gives me such a guilt trip everytime I have some. I just can't help it.

    I relly suck at directing, but it's like once I get started I usually kinda get into it and my creative juices start flowing. I know one thing, if you tell them how good they look and how photogenic they are, they usually spark up a bit. I still dabble in film now and then. I still prefer it to digital, but in the "give it to me now" world we live in, digital is more suitable for the client's needs. I do photoshop. I prefer SOOC. But most clients want a photoshopped look.

    oh, I meant filming with a video camcorder as my other interests! haha I enjoy making short films and music videos but usually as personal projects. I have too many interests! I've not done film photography since university. I did think of setting up a darkroom in the corner of the house in the past because I loved the whole process but no doubt it'll cost me a fortune. That's a really good idea with the complimenting. I'd give that a go next time! Great portfolio by the way :smile:

    Currently a stay at home mom. I have 3 kids...6yo boy, 9yo girl and my oldest son just turned 18. I love your photography. I also love taking pics. I do most of my own kids/fam pics instead of paying someone else. I have also done some for other friends/family and might be doing some for our church directory. I also make stepping stones to sell...I am currently working on a bunch with cancer ribbons to donate to Relay For Life cancer research.

    I've just become a student paediatric nurse and eventually I'm hoping to become a paediatric cardiac intensive care nurse :)

    but I keep reptiles as well so they are my second passion along side animal photography.. I'm not that good at general photography but put a dog or cat in front of me and I know what I'm doing..
