Not a Professional Photographer!

I'm not a professional photographer and I don't even play one on TV!

That's the line I give everyone that asks me to take their pictures. It always gets a good laugh, but I do want to make sure that they know I don't claim to be a professional photographer! I took pictures of 5 senior girls this year. It was so much fun, but pretty nerve racking, for me, at the same time. Gary really is the photographer in our family. I rely on him to take all the pictures for us. He is the one that knows how to use our camera to create works of art. I, on the other hand, just like to pick the camera up and start shooting. Then I expect to get beautifully crisp pictures in the end. Sadly, there is a little more to it than that. I still have LOTS to learn. I really would love to take a photography class someplace! I think I will look into it more seriously. I love photography.

When taking the pictures it is fun to see the personality of each of the girls come out. I do everything that I can to make them comfortable so I can get some natural pictures of them. I can always see when it starts to happen, when they start to feel at ease and just smile naturally for me. I have had an amazing time with these photo shoots and look forward to taking more!

I hope to get some boys that want their pictures taken as well. I do believe that will be a little more challenging as Gary had reminded me the boys more than likely will not want to sit in the field of flowers, or pose laying on their stomach in the grass.
