Starting around age 11, I started taking tons of pictures. They weren't necessarily great pictures, but I took a lot of them. By my sophomore year of high school, I was developing a roll of film almost every 2 weeks or so. I would put my photos in albums, and I would also cut them and put them all over bulletin boards in my room. I've never actually bought my own digital camera, but my mom got one when I was in high school and I used it all the time. Then I used Steve's (my good friend) digital camera until he got a new one and gave me the old one Then, a couple of years ago, my husband found a digital camera in the parking lot at a concert when we were dating, and he took it home (bad boy). I took over that camera as well. I've just always loved photos and taking photos. I even like being in photos. As an older teen I was helped a friend with her portfolio by modeling for her. It's not that I necessarily love looking at myself, but I do like photography.
As soon as I got engaged, I knew that a big portion of my budget would go towards photography. Before the wedding, Jennifer Dukes, who is a friend of mine from high school, took our engagement photos. Then I had boudoir photos done by the wonderful Critsey Rowe as a wedding gift for my husband. We hired Martha Manning as our wedding photographer, and she did an excellent job with my bridal portraits. I haven't seen my wedding photos yet, but I can't wait!! My husband knew how much I liked photography, and how I've always wanted a DSLR. I'm glad I made it clear because he got me one as a wedding present!!! I love that man!
So this is the beginning of my journey with my new Canon Rebel EOS T2i. I love it, and even though I don't necessarily have professional skills yet, my pictures look wonderful! ....in my opinion at least. ;)
Here are just a couple of my faves so far. I hope you enjoy!
