Giving blogging a try.

So everyone seems to be blogging these days and they say it is good for business so I'm going to give it a try. This is my first post, so I guess I'll talk a little bit about me.

My name is David Martin...thus the David M Photography name. I live in Columbia, SC and I'm a full time computer geek for a power company and a part time professional photographer. If my plan goes as currently set, I'll be dropping the computer geek part in favor of full time photographer in the next 4 years. I currently do on location work and shooting in my make shift studio in my garage but plan on opening a studio in the very near future for "By Appointment Only" work.

My photographic focus is going to be on maternity, babies, children, and families. I also hope to do a bit of Team and Individual photography for gymnastics teams, dance studios, etc. as I enjoy that work very much as well. I guess I just like working with kids and taking their pictures. They seem to like me so hopefully I'll be successful at this venture. I've had a few positive comments so far, so I'm hoping for the best.

I'm married, for the past 15 years, and I have two beautiful daughters, 10 and 2. My youngest loves being in front of the camera so expect to see plenty of her, especially once the studio is up and running.

I look forward to posting on here and hope that people enjoy interacting with me via this medium. Please feel free to comment and don't be offended that I moderate the comments. You never know who is going to post what and while I don't aim to censor, I do want to keep the blog clean and family friendly.
