Beginning of a dream

Going through older pictures as been refreshing to see the changes I've made and new skills developed in my photography. This was my first newborn session and it was with my nephew Dax. He's definitely done a lot of growing since these, he's now 3! These were taken with my first DSLR, a Nikon D80, before things like photoshop. I really had to make sure eveything from lighting to positioning was perfect because there's only so much you can change after. With every session I learn something new. As a photographer you are always learning, always adjusting, and always finding new ways to be creative and give it your own touch. It's fun to look back on these and see how much my nephew has changed but also how much I have changed behind the lense. 

I created a goal for myself for 2019 to get my photography up and running. Photography has always been a passion of mine. From the first time my Dad pulled out his camera to show me the ropes, to high school using his old Nikon where I dabled in film photography. You know the good ol' rolls of film you used to drop off at the store? Except this we got to develop ourselves. It was exciting watching your photographs come to life in the darkroom. Well since then I have upgraded my camera and turned to digital, but I still use Nikon. For a couple years now I have been gathering sessions together, building my portfolio and really getting to know my camera. I am still learning but plan to share all of that here. I am excited to share my creations with all of you starting with my favorite place to be, the beach. Wish me luck!
