Hugghins Photography: Featured Photographer, week 2


Studio and Location Photographer
Serves: Gwinnett and Athens, GA areas


Online: Website, Blog, and Facebook


Market: Maternity, Newborns, Children


Go to gear: Canon! I shoot with a 5D and LOVE my 85 1.8. I'm working on upgrading my current 50mm.



Business Story: After college, I knew there was nothing else I was meant to do. I didn't want to work full-time and luckily I had a husband to do that for me! After the recession, I was forced to get serious about owning my own business. I designed my own logo, business materials, and joined a few online groups to continue my education. 


My advice if you're new in the industry: I love helping out new pros because I feel like we are all one big family in the photo world! I have a few blog posts specifically geared towards those wanting to learn more about their craft. I still have so much more to learn, but if my little bit of knowledge can help a struggling photog, then I am a happy girl!


One big mistake I see new pros make is not taking the time to learn about light. It is the essence of photography and still people think they'll just "wing it". It doesn't work that way. Research, research, research, then practice, practice, practice!


I think the biggest thing you learn from those who have been around the block a few times is to learn from their mistakes. See what they aren't doing, because there is probably a reason for it! Don't copy, but be inspired by their work. Try out new techniques and see how they work for you.


It took me quite a while and many trials and errors to find my shooting style, so don't expect it to come overnight! You don't necessarily have to be trendy- just shoot what feels right to you. Oh, and don't "specialize' in EVERYTHING! Pick what you love best and study the crap out of it!
