My Passion......Photography!

I have a great passion for photography. Many of my family and friends have made many comments about my pictures that I have taken over the past few years. I've even had family members want me to enlarge certain photos to have framed, which I have gratefully done. I've also had a friend who has taken a photography class and has seen my pictures and thinks I am really good. He thinks I should pursue it. It really makes me feel good that people enjoy my photos, expecially for the fact that I enjoy doing it! I haven't taken any sort of photography class either. This is all self taught. I would love to take some sort of class cause I know that there is so much more to learn with different techniques and such.


It's not like I currently have a professional camera either. I just have a $400 digital that is pocket sized but takes fabulous photos. I just hate that it's not a professional camera cause I have missed so many photo opportunities cause I have to wait a couple seconds in between each click. It actually gets kind of annoying.

Over the weekend I started moving over all the pictures that I personally like into it's own file on my computer so that I can create a portfolio. Just recently I started to feel that I needed to start doing something about this "hobby" of mine rather than just letting my pictures sit. I am actually in the process of looking for a professional camera. I've found a few but I want more info about them and want to have demonstrations and be able to check them out for myself, you know?!

The one thing that I have decided is that I don't want to take professional photo's for people. Like weddings and such. That's not what I'm into. I personally love to take photographs of landscape. However, I do love to take photos of my own child, though. She is so photogenic!!

I have posted a slideshow of some of my favorite photos. I hope you enjoy them!
