<p>Throughout the photography industry there is debate on whether you should &#8220;specialize&#8221; in something. For the non-photography industry people that means&#8230;just photographing newborns, or just families, or just weddings, food, etc. I will admit&#8230;I do it all&#8230;.and proudly.</p>
<p>I am a photographer. I photograph everything&#8230;and I love it. It takes time to get the skills and finesse to do each type, and not everyone can or should&#8230;and I am sure there are areas I still need to work on and practice. I shoot because I love it, and I shoot every single day&#8230;this is beyond a job for me. Why should I just pick one thing?</p>
<p>This image is a perfect reason why being a photographer that photographs everything is a good thing. This is the 4th time I have had the luxury of being a part of this family. It started with the <a href="http://www.martalocklear.com/blog/index.php/2010/09/17/hustle-bustle-washington-dc-wedding-engagement-photographer/">Engagement</a>, then the <a href="http://www.martalocklear.com/blog/index.php/2011/08/21/brandi-steve-oxon-hill-maryland-wedding/">Wedding</a>, then the B<a href="http://www.martalocklear.com/blog/index.php/2012/03/05/patience-washington-dc-maternity-photographer/">elly Love </a>of their little one growing inside&#8230;and now capturing a whole new chapter in their lives. I am blessed that they have brought me into their world to document the growth of their love and family. And I am looking forward to watching this little girl grow over the next year during our Belly to One sessions.
