Basically, like my info says--I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I claim to be. I'm merely someone who stumbled upon a huge love for photography. I do have a life out side the camera, but I'm still dying to learn more and more about everything related to taking good pictures, editing well and sharing the moments I capture.
Things will probably move slowly on here for awhile. I'm just now learning how to edit and playing around, so things are still rough around the edges, though I have been capturing people, places, moments, animals, plants and everything in between for a few years now as what I would consider a serious hobby.
I've been told in the past I'm talented when it comes to photography, but for me that isn't enough. I want to be good, even great. I want to learn everything I can about composition, lighting, settings. I want to know what every single option and button can do to my photographs.
So that's why I'm here. I hope to follow other photographers--especially professionals--and learn. I want to hear constructive criticism, tips, ideas and anything helpful. I'm not out here to make money. I'm out here to learn. To enhance what I know and to grow as an artist. I'm someone who loves this but knows I don't have what it takes (maybe just now--or never) to really make it in the cutting edge world of photography as it stands now. But, I do love this. I love it more than most things in the world (music being the first thing I love to do!).
I believe photography is a window into so many worlds--the photographer's, the subject's, and life in general. A great story can be told in a single moment. The world can be shared in a single shot. Art is made, lives are captured and shared and beauty can never be forgotten. It's a blessing to be able to do what I can for people when they ask me to "take a few shots" for them. I believe in taking a chance, shooting what you can and striving to get the image you, and your subject, hold in their minds.
Other than that? I'm your normal girl. I'm currently studying to become a music therapist, so music is a huge passion of mine. I hope to one day treat military patients for traumatic brain injuries, post traumatic stress disorder and any other trauma. I have a wonderful family and a great group of friends there for me no matter what. They all mean the world to me. I love to read, I've recently taken up knitting and I love theatre (though, I'm not the one you'll find on stage!!).
