just a girl & her Nikon.: Emma's Photo Shoot

These photos are of the most beautiful little girl on the planet, my niece, Emma...I may or may not be a little biased on that one. She smiles all the time but as soon as I take my camera out she gets that "deer in the headlights" look, which is still adorable. I managed to get a few shots of her laughing though. I keep telling her to get used to it, she will always have a camera in her face because for one, well look at her, she's adorable! And two, her aunt is a photographer. Sorry kid, at least now you know how Suri Cruise feels.

This photo I think captures Emma's curious side. Emma has always been a curious baby, since day one she has always been nosy and was always staring at people, kind of like she was studying them. She's a very deep thinker, for a 5 month old that is.

I think this is by far my favourite photo of Emma. I had just laid her on my bed to take some photos and she just put her head down and started sucking on her fingers. You can't get any cuter than that.

This photo was taken about halfway through our photo shoot. Emma was starting to get annoyed with me for taking so many photos. Sorry kid, get used to it!

This is another personal fave of mine. She was playing with her toes but decided to take a break and shoot me a look. Adorable.

Photographer Profile

I think the first time I took a photograph was in 1991 when I went to Girl Scout Camp. My grandparents had gotten me a camera for Christmas the year before but I didn't really use it until the summer. It was a black and purple Minnie Mouse film camera, I think I still have it somewhere (at least I hope I do!). Anyways, the photos turned out horridly blurry and fuzzy but I loved taking them! I have always been "the photographer" amongst my family and friends. I was the annoying friend, sister, daughter that was always saying, "oh wait! hold that pose I need to run and get my camera!" However, it wasn't until Christmas 2007 when I got my Nikon D40x that I actually began to think about photography more.

You know when your parents ask you to make a wish list for birthdays and Christmas? Well you know that one present you put way down at the bottom, the really expensive one that you know you'll probably never get but you put it on there anyways in the hopes that you may actually get it? Well my Nikon was that present. So you can imagine my reaction when I tore open the wrapping paper and saw the yellow Nikon box staring back at me! I believe I took about 200 photographs that Christmas!

Anyways back to what I was previously saying. Once I got my camera I began to think about photography more and more. I took a digital photography course at my college and it was in that class that my passion grew. I had always liked taking photographs, but now I was in love with taking photographs! I would take photographs of trees, the sky, bugs, etc. Whatever I could find that would hold still long enough for me to snap their picture. Then, on April 17th, 2008 my passion for portrait photography was born, along with my niece, Emma Jane. I took a zillion photographs of her in the hospital. And since then, I've been documenting her life, almost on a dialy basis. Then, after seeing a few photographs of a friend I took for my digital photography class, more people began asking me to take their picture. And the rest, as they say, is history!
