Shoot The Baby is Changing!!!

It’s been quite a while since there have been any updates with ShootTheBaby.com. Mostly because, about 2 years ago, I started moving more into commercial photography, and am completely loving it. It gives me the chance to be totally creative, and having clients hire me for my particular vision!

Last December, I was evaluating where I was with all of the various web properties (doggettstudios.com, shootthebaby.com, boxofficebaby.com). What I figured out was that while I enjoyed sharing the kind of tips and thoughts that I was posting at STB, I really enjoyed those on a more general photography level (as opposed to just focusing on babies).

So, I’ve decided to rebrand all of my outside blogging efforts into a new site : KillTheAmbient.com, which just launched today! This site will focus on providing ideas and tips for photographers, but told in a casual, humorous style. For example, some of the initial stories that I’ve posted include:

Want New Camera Gear? Get Pregnant.
Are You A Travel Photographer? Pack Some Heat To Protect Your Gear.

There’s also an Off-Camera Flash 101 series which has its first installment posted.

Down the road, I may offer some training opportunities for those interested in working with lights, post-processing, etc. Overall, the information I will be posting will apply to almost all photographers. There will be occasional ’specialized’ topics (like an upcoming rant I have on vendor meals at weddings).

So, when you get a chance, head on over to KillTheAmbient.com and take a look. If you like what you see, sign up for updates. These will be written by me (as opposed to emailed blog posts) every week or two.

** Also **, since I am not an approver of reusing email lists, I won’t be migrating the STB email list to KTA. You’ll need to go there to sign up. But, I promise it will be worth it as I have a lot to share (over 80 blog story ideas are already set aside!).

All of the existing content here at STB will remain.

Thank you so much for your support, and see you over at KillTheAmbient.com!
