You're listening to the Master Photography Podcast.

Welcome to the Master Photography Roundtable, part of the Master Photography Podcast Network.

You join my thousands of photographers listening to this show who are all on the

same journey to master their photography. I am Jeff Harmon.

The host for this episode and joining me today is Santa photographer Joy Howard.

So glad to have you on the show Joy, how are you? I'm doing great. I know you know I'm from Alabama

But the others don't and here SEC football is king right so I've had to have a little bit of therapy for the last few days

after Auburn beat Alabama last weekend. So I've been a lifelong Alabama fan and I seem to be recovering however it doesn't help but my

husband who is an Auburn graduate is walking around with this ridiculously enormous grand painted on his face.

So I don't know, there's that.

And I also don't dare tell him anything serious or sad right now because he's liable to just

laugh and say, oh, that's nice dear war eagle.

I love watching football too.

It's really fun for me.

My team's never win though so I understand well you have to move

south and suddenly it's just here me out everything is football yeah okay

well we we want to talk about Santa photo tips.

We want to share with the listener's tips on how it is they can try to do some Santa photos,

create some really cool ones, but I also want to just introduce you a little bit to the audience, partially because there's a lot of

listeners who I think will, their backgrounds and what they're doing is really similar to your own.

So talk just a second about how you got started into the portrait photography, how long

you've been doing this?
