Besides loving photography, what other hobbies do you have?

I love spending time with my family...my wonderful husband, Kelly and my little girl Posey. 
I also love to music, and singing with the band at our church

What are you passionate about?

I'm passionate about photography, music, my family, Jesus and Diet Coke....not necessarily in that order!

What advice would you give to the first time buyers of Forbeyon albums?

Take advantage of the amazing online tools that Forbeyon offers.  It makes ordering an album SOOOOO easy.

How do Forbeyon albums compare to others you've seen or used?

I've used several different album companies over the years, and Forbeyon is my home sweet home!
They offer beautiful, quality products with top of the line customer service.  You also can't beat their turn around time.

What inspired you to use Forbeyon?

I think I was first drawn to Forbeyon because when I called, they where so willing to answer all my questions.
Once I experienced their albums, I was hooked! 

If you could create your ultimate album, what would it look like?

It would be simple and to the point.  I love a big thick album with lots of beautiful images.
I also love Forbeyon's metallic cameos....they are so yummy!

As a photographer, what is your most important objective when shooting?

Every time I shoot, I try to do something I've never done before.  I always want to push myself to  be better than the day before.
I also love drama, so I'm always working to find ways to bring mystery to so my images.

How do prepare for your events?

Fresh batteries, clean lenses, and a good nights rest :)

What aspects of photography do you enjoy most?

Making people look beautiful.

If you weren’t a photographer what would you be?

A rock star!

What inspired you to create the Kelly Moore Bag?

I wanted a bag that could accommodate me while I photographed that didn't look like a camera bag. 
I made a list of all the things I wanted in a bag, and when I couldn't find it, I decided I needed to make it.

What aspect of creating the bag did you most enjoy?

The designing! 

Can you tell us a bit about the Kelly Moore Bag?

It's a bag that is designed to carry your gear while you shoot.  It is comfortable to wear, padded to protect your gear, and it holds tons of what you need!

Which feature do you like best?

That it doesn't look like a camera bag.

What is your mission/vision for the Kelly Moore Bag?

I want to make great bags for photographers so they can do their job to the fullest, and look great doing it.
I also want to be able to give back by giving a portion of the proceeds of each bag to organizations that help people in need.

With so many other professional photography bags out there, why would a photographer choose the

Kelly Moore Bag over some of the others?
Because there is no other bag like the Kelly Moore Bag!

So there is going to a Man’s Kelly Moore Bag? Can you tell us about it?

It's going to be a great looking bag.  It will be a simple messenger style bag that will hold your gear while you shoot.
I hope to launch the pre sale in a month or so, so stay tuned to my blog for updates!

Last questions, when is the next Love Affair Workshop?

We haven't set the date yet, but it will most likely be the Fall of 2010.

Is there anything special in the works for the Workshop?

I could tell you.....but then I'd have to kill you :)
There is no such thing as a Love Affair Workshop that isn't special!

On December 28th, 2009 ChrysQ and BenQ hosted their very first workshop. This was a working workshop with the opportunity for everyone who attended to shoot. BenQ went over settings for indoor shoots and taught on the use of multiple lights. The workshop ended with a tour and tutorial at the Forbeyon office.

The video shows the difference between various lighting setups and some tips and tricks to use to achieve awesome lighting. Also covered in the video is how to get awesome depth of field outdoors and using a strobe. The video shows a behind the scenes look into the workshop and also includes a post-production and photoshop tutorial. Find out some of the hottest techniques for making your images look crisp!
