My first internet order came through Friday evening and I am processing it today. I am thrilled and the software is working well so I'm starting to feel like all the fretting with setting up my website was worth it. Please go check it out: http://www.spruittphotography.com/.
Saturday I went to the Ice Den here in Orlando where Richard Gump was taking team and individual pictures of the Youth Hockey League. It was a terrific learning experience for me and I hope to be able to participate in more events. It is an honor to spend time with these youth, helping document their lives and witnessing the energy and enthusiasm they bring to their sport.

Orlando Photographer Website Updates

Back from Nashville inspired and excited about my photography business. I realized while at the Imaging USA conference that I really enjoy event photography, including weddings, and fine art photography the most. I enjoy the one on one relationships that portraiture entails, but for now I feel that it is important to focus on the areas I am most passionate about. High on my to-do list is updating my website with pictures from my portfolio. However, this is proving quite frustrating! I'm seriously considering starting over with a local webdesigner. So if you go to my website, http://www.spruittphotography.com/ you will find that it is indeed in need of some expertise that I can't seem to harness.

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted to my blog! I should pay more attention here than to my Facebook page, but I do like the ability to connect with long lost friends on FB. It has been a busy year so far, photography wise. I am working as a free-lance photographer for the local newspaper, the Athens Banner-Herald, taking pictures at community events for their website "Spotted.onlineathens.com". I have also entered a couple of juried shows this year; the Georgia in Bloom show sponsored by the Madison Art Guild in Madison, Georgia and the Athens Photography Guild's 1st annual juried print show in Commerce, GA where I won third place! My Spotted work has been very rewarding as it gives me the opportunity to hone my skills and have my work published on a website for the world to see. Two of my pictures have been published in the printed paper to help bring attention to the online venue.
Certainly, I feel that I have grown a lot as a professional photographer and artist. I want to learn all I can and continue to develop this gift from God.
