Who's that Girl???
My name - Deb Schwedhelm
My hometown - I'm originally from Detroit. I joined the Air Force at 24 (for 10 years) and married a Navy guy at 33 so for the past 13 years I've been all over. We currently live in San Diego.
My style - Simple, different and sometimes edgy
If not a photographer I would have been a... nurse. Well, I was a practicing RN for 10 years until I became a stay at home mom and photographer.
Something I wished I had known then that I know now... how much I'd love being a photographer. I wouldn't have spent 7 years getting a Bachelors and Masters in Nursing.
My strength in my profession is... that I'm driven and I'm 100% dedicated. I'm a perfectionist too but sometimes that's not a strength.
My weakness in my profession is... the business side of things. That's my 2007 New Years Resolution...get the business side organized.
A vendor you should know about...EZ Photo Sales.
Something that is overrated in my industry... reflectors.
3 things I bring with me on every shoot... my 6 million dollar home, my cell phone and a scrunchy.
Where I get my inspiration from... photographers that are edgy and willing to take a risk.
At 2 PM everyday, you can usually find me... depends on the day (at home b/c the little ones are napping or speech therapy with my oldest)
Something I'm still learning... how to better market and manage the business side of things.
One thing I can't part with... the support of my husband.
Deb's favorite image of recent
3 things you'll find in my purse... what purse? Oh my backpack...lipstick, cell phone and diapers.
Something that bores me... drama.
Something on my Christmas list...a 5D. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Lensbaby.
Something you'll always find in my refrigerator...milk! (white milk for my oldest and chocolate milk for the little ones.)
The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning...get my coffee. Coffee, coffee and more coffee.
One thing I am going to do this winter...visit family.
My snack at the movies...buttered popcorn and soda.
My best feature...oooh. Hmmmm. My butt? Just kidding. I DON'T KNOW! Maybe my eyes.
