Your name?Ana: Ana Brandt
How long have you been in the photography business?>Ana: Forever. Professionally or for other people - 10 years - taking photos since I was a teenager
What is the best advice (Pay It Forward Style) you could give a photographer or painter starting out in the business?
Ana: I am sure this has been said - but find your style. Not the photographer next doors style - yours - what do you LOVE to shoot - focus on that - whether its shoes, people or dogs - do it and do it well.
What is something you have learned in the past that you carry with you to the present?
Ana: That I can't change people. They are who they are.
One thing you just CANT live without?
Ana: My family - does that count? If people don't count - my camera.
Your favorite quote?
Ana: Oprah Winfrey - "There is a supreme moment of destiny - a moment where the energy of your soul comes to be fulfilled - where you reach the point that you know - that you are doing exactly what you were born to do. "
can I have a second? Pastor Rick Warren - "You are as happy as you choose to be".
Wildest Craziest Thing you have done?
Ana: Stopped my bike immediatly after I pedaled as fast as I could go - my Grandpa had just put new brakes on and I stopped hard and flipped right over the bike. I think I was 10 or 11.
Who is your hero?
Ana: Oh my I have none really. There isn't one person that I think of b/c we are all flawed. Maybe God.
Favorite Picture that you took?
Ana: Well I have a zillion - and it changes daily. But my recent favorite is my son and his turtle Franklin. I think my ALLL time favorite is my son laughing - also attached - I have a zillion client favorites too but its just too hard to pick - Ok I will include one pregnancy that I love. I LOVE to capture people laughing.
Tell us a little bit about http://www.anabrandt.com/?? or http://www.b--studio.com/??
Ana: If BStudio.com - this came about from me wanting to provide a workshop for those working in the pregnancy//newborn arena. I went through so so much trial and error I felt like I needed to help someone else. I started with an online workshop and 6 months later, I published my book. I have since sold it to photographers all over the world, and I like helping other photographers.
