Kicking off the season!

March 13, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

It is hard to believe that my two month break is over.  Now that my website is up and running i am so excited to get back into the swing of things!  To kick off this year i got to take some pictures of this little sweetie.  Isn't she a doll? Her mom was so generous and so easy to work with. I will admit that I was nervous at first because it was my first session in over two months but i had a great little model and i think the pictures turned out great!  Here are some pictures from that session. Enjoy!

 

   


Looking back

I am always asked how long i have doing photography. I look back and can't believe it has been about 7 years!  I found my love for photography in a digital photo class in high school. Back then i just had a 5 megapixel camera and i thought that little camera was the best thing!  It didn't take long for me to realize that 5 megapixels wasn't much of anything and my pictures looked pretty good as long as they were about thumbnail size.  That same year my parents bought a Nikon coolpix camera it had double the amount of resolution so i was pretty much convinced that i was professional at that point, the pictures with the deer and my sister were taken with this camera.  Looking back, i was nowhere near professional but i like to look at my old photos just to see how far i've come.  I didn't do a lot of photography my first few years of college but when i did it was mostly just landscape and nature shots, never of people. After i was married my husband, Stephen, bought me a Sony point and shoot and i started to get into photography again. Family and friends caught wind of my 

revisited hobby and so i was doing random favors, nothing big for anyone.  Then i was requested as the photographer for my cousins wedding.  I had no idea what i was doing but i just ran with it.  I was pretty proud of myself for doing bridals with a dinky point and shoot and having pictures that actually turned out alright (wedding picture below is from her bridals that i took with my Sony).  It just proves that fact that you don't have to have an expensive DSLR to get good photos.  I hear all the time that people are gifted a nice camera and so to make good use of it they dabble into photography but i started out the opposite.  I 

loved photography, but couldn't afford the fancy cameras so i just had to make do with what i had.  When i graduated college in May 2013, my parents and husband bought me my first DSLR.  It was a 

Nikon D3200.  It was so dreamy but so complicated.  I had to watch a good week of youtubevideos just to know how take a picture!  Before i knew it i was getting requests left and right for pictures and i was swimming in photography.  In February of 2014 i decided to start a business just to see where it went and its safe to say that just one year later i am still in business and can't believe all the support i have received!  I have since updated my camera again to a Nikon D800E and i love it!  Here are some of the latest pictures i have taken.  

 

 

 

 

 


Excited for 2015

Less than one month away before i start scheduling again!  January flew by!  Even though i haven't been taking any pictures i have been so busy with setting up my website, creating contract agreements, getting new equipment etc.  It has been crazy!  I have a feeling that February is going to be gone in a flash so i'll just hold my breath and wait for the busy season to start again!
