i have always loved pictures. taking them. looking at them. being in them ;)
i kept "missing" pictures of my girls because my digital camera would not take them fast enough. so i bought a DSLR (digital SLR camera). the main reason in the beginning was to take good pictures of my kids (this was in october 2 years ago). then i read a lot about it. i took some classes and became very familiar with the camera and all of it settings. i didn't know anything in the beginning so i asked a lot of questions (still do!) from people who did know. i tried to learn everything i could. (since the beginning i have gotten a new camera and several new lenses.)
then one of my good friends wanted some pictures of her family for christmas but didn't have the money to hire someone... so she asked me if i would meet her at the beach and take some pictures. another friend wanted the same thing, so they met us the same afternoon. you can see the first family session here. the second one here.
the pictures actually turned out pretty well. not great. but good for my first effort. then i read some more books and studied some more. i also created a blog. then a girl at church said she was interested in getting some maternity pictures done. i told her i would do them for a very reasonable price. she said ok :). after that, people just kept finding me. i am always amazed where people come from and how they find me! i totally attribute all of this to the Lord. He keeps sending people my way. i am SO thankful that he does!
i love meeting new people! i love finding the beauty in the outdoors! i LOVE taking pictures! i am so glad that i get to do all of that together :)
the newest thing i am learning about is marketing... so you may be seeing some exciting new changes in the near future... be on the look out!
