Today I had a minor setback. While I was photographing the adorable 11 week old, Oliver, my camera just stopped working. This kid was too cute for word. We waited until he was napped and fed to make sure he delivered the goods. Whether it was his temperament or sleep or food, he gave us lots of smiles and looked at me which is not always easy at this age.
Then in the middle of my photographer flow, my camera got a terrible error and stopped working. I switch batteries, lenses, everything, but it just wouldn't work. I had to cut my photo session short which is embarrassing when you are with a client, but she understood. I immediately drove to the camera repair shop. It looks like my motherboard went out. I know I have a digital camera, but I don't exactly think in terms of motherboard for a camera.
So waiting for the repair estimate that will come later today, but it looks like my photography is put on hiatus for the week. I am in a hurry to get it back because I have a mini photo shoot next week with 4 different clients. I might be renting my camera that weekend. So for now my blog will not be forgotten, but will be neglected. I sure I will think of lots of cool posts or look in my photo archives for some other ideas.

About Heather
- Heather
- I am a Los Angles based photographer and mom of 2 wonderful boys. Photography has been a passion of mine over 15 years now, ever since I picked up my first camera in journalism school and started developing my black and whites in a darkroom. The instant an affordable DSLR came out on the market in 2002, I had to have one and have been shooting digital since. Once I became a mom I realized how much I enjoy photographing children and how much better I could understand their nuances so it became a passion of mine. Their is such innocence and beauty in their pictures and I feel privileged to be a part of that. I am constantly trying new approaches and tuning my skills to create the art that is in my head, not just the art that I can create right now. I am very interested in off camera flash, and the depth and clarity it adds to my photographs. Sometimes I take breaks from my blog and photography, but it seems to never leave me completely. I always come back.
