Today begins the day of THE BLOG, well for me anyway! I know it has been a long time coming considering the fact that I do enjoy writing, and even made English my college major. If you are reading this I am sure you are tilting your head in confusion at my reasons for not yet following the 'photographers blogging protocol'.
My reasons are few.. My life is hectic, and even though I love to write I rarely have the time so I have many unfinished short stories and poems.
Enough about that, let's start off with a little bit of back story. Hhhmmmm, where to begin..
Let's see, since it's common for most teenage girls to take a million pictures of themselves or their friends I can't really add that to my back story except to say maybe my love was a little more than most. You see, I not only took thousands pictures but I turned them into poster sized collages that would hang on my wall, more like art I suppose. I held my first dslr in high school in my media class..This wasn't a required class and for a while I was the only one in it but I loved the freedom..The days I spent roaming the halls of the high school camera in hand, even if it was to only report on the 6th grade honor role, I was important.
Life moved on and with that came new goals along with some different dreams. Traveling soon became one of those dreams. If your wondering where I would like to travel, the place at the top of my list would be Europe, I would love to travel the country for a whole year.. Some day! Years later I came upon a small time job as a photographer (which I absolutely adored). Finally I was able to make the purchase with help from my late father, he worked as a computer tech but shared a hobbyist's attitude when it came to photography, being a man who traveled he always purchased the newest digital cameras with the most mega pixels, I can remember him being excited at 12 mega pixels..I often wonder what he would think of mine.
So here is a little piece of why I am here, the rest is simple..I am here because of the love and support from my family (my husband, my girls, and my Mom) and the great friends that let me use them for models while portfolio building. Above all else I am doing what I am doing because God has made it possible, anytime I have a sudden doubt he reassures me, it is unimaginable the many ways he continues to show me this is my path in life, and I am very thankful!
Keep up with my random blog postings about sessions, events I am hosting, and most of all my life!
Until next time
