Maybe I'm amazed...

Had you told me a year ago people would be asking me to do their pictures, I wouldn't have believed you. Honestly, I was just dreaming of one day owning a DSLR so I could take prettier pictures for myself. I knew I loved photography, but I didn't know how much until I got my camera. Seeing someone's reaction to something I created is pretty awesome. 

 

Now, I'm doing my first wedding in April and have had 5-6 inquiries about sessions. It's all pretty surreal. 

You really can do anything you put your mind to. 

Go. Do. Create and enjoy! 

The art of self portraits...

Ok, ok, I'm still learning and I don't know if there is any right way, honestly. I spent some time last night practicing the art of self photography. Setting up the shot is a lot more difficult than I imagined, BUT I got this... This is the only shot I really loved and, after editing, thought it held so much emotion. I love it and that's all that really matters.

I didn't use any reflective surfaces like many blog posts suggest. I chose to set up my umbrella and light, my tripod, and sit in the floor and shoot. Mr. Ber doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to make him do it with me. Haha.
