My very first shoot

I was like a kid in a candy store. A local photographer, that I have shot with before, invited me to come tag along on one of his photoshoots. He has been so helpful and offering advice for me to grow and I am so thankful for that. The model of course was lovely and such a joy to work with. It was such a nice evening outside - not too hot or muggy. As it was my first actual shoot, I was nervous as could be. I didn't want to get in the other photographers way as this was his shoot, but I also didn't want to walk away with nothing. So I jumped head first in the water to start shooting and learning. The only way you can advace yourself and your art is to learn from mistakes and practice. So this is what I did. And I am finally getting around to posting these.


Here are a few shots from the night.

Great Success

Saturday was better than expected. Although I didn't get to model my dress, I had such a blast. It rained early morning so the skies were clear by the time we all made it out there. There was a total of around 30 photographers with around 10-15 models. It was so great to have so many different views there to listen and watch how they worked. All the models were great and outgoing. Here are a few pictures from the day.

Janna was all smiles as she got dressed up in her gown again.

Macayla was a little shy at first but looks great with the camera.

Megan knows how to work with the camera and was a great model.

The lovely and exotic Amber in a sundress

Cassie was fun to work with and looked great with the sunset.

Danielle was stunning in her wedding gown.

Anticipation

I have been waiting for so long for tomorrow to finally come. Now it is less than 24 hours. I get to participate with a local photography club. On 14 acres of prime country land with horses and barns to spare, there will be numerous photographers ranging in style and professional status. I, among many other girls, will get to model in my wedding gown. But the best part about it - I will get to be behind the camera as well. So the anticipation has been burning inside me. I will get to work alongside many others and hopefully learn and get a great experience. Here's to looking forward to a good time and praying that it doesn't rain. Or at least that, if it does rain, it won't put a damper on the photoshoot. Wish me luck!

So Excited

Well this is my very first post and I am so excited to share my journey through the photography world with you. Photography is a passion of mine and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to grow with it. There have been so many photographers that have inspired me to enhance my abilities, both in photography and in life. I only hope that one day I will have the opportunity to stand in front of them and let them know how much I truely do appreciate and admire their work. Here is to wishing for that time to come....
