just a girl & her Nikon.: November 2008

Trica & Ray's wedding was beautiful!

I didn't get a chance to take very many photos, I was a lot more busy than I had anticipated.

The few photos I did take however, were nice (except the tent was pretty dark and I didn't have my external flash with me...booooo!).

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!
