Name/Business name: Betsy Fick of Mountain Gap Photography
Something short and sweet about you: I’m a twenty-something living with my husband and puppy in Southeastern Pennsylvania. My husband and I are both on staff at a church and we spend our weekends photographing couples in love! I’m a little bit addicted to coffee, a lot in love with Jesus, and road trips and Sour Patch Kids make my heart happy!
About this session: This session was unique in the sense that it actually wasn’t a normal client session. Jameson and Megan agreed to model for me as I led a group shoot for a local photographer group I am a part of. We had about 10 photographers come out and we all got to shoot two different couples. I directed them through some of our core posing, and then let each photographer have a turn at directing our models!
Did this session challenge you? Yes! It was challenging in the sense that I was so nervous for it! I love helping out other photographers and it’s always great to get fresh perspective and ideas, but I was definitely thinking “what if I totally bomb this!” in my head the whole day leading up to it! It ended up going great though and everyone had a great time!
What gear did you use? My husband and I shoot with Nikon D750s. Most of the shots in this session were taken with my Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 and my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. The “ring of fire” shots were done with a 1” wide piece of copper pipe for some fun!
Why photography? I love that photography gives me a chance to get to know people and to document their lives. It’s also a creative outlet that breathes life into me! I just love experimenting to get that perfect shot, and I love how much there is to learn about it…I feel like there’s always more to discover!
How does your relationship with Jesus effect your work? I like to think that my relationship with Jesus brings my client experience to a whole new level, especially when it comes to weddings. I love getting to know people and I really try to connect with our brides a bunch before their wedding day. I truly believe that taking that extra time and effort to pamper a couple, show interest in them and their love story, and really just love and serve them well will not only lead to a happier client, but will also show Christ’s love through your actions. We’re called to be set apart, and I want people to recognize that there is something set apart and different about our business!
