It seems like some people are just born with a camera in their hand. I was always envious of those that seemed to have such clear paths for their lives. I had never felt that I was one of them. Photography seemed interesting, but I really new nothing about it. I thought it'd be fun to try, so I went to school and worked part-time for a photographer.
For years, I assumed that was the beginning. That was how I started this cool trip that I'm on. After rummaging through some old family photo albums, I found...I might just be that kid who was born with a camera in her hand! I'd forgotten how I made my brother and our friend, Jessica, dress up like a bride and groom complete with a bedspread wedding gown! I would also take "senior pictures" of my sister and my cousins.
It is funny to me that my early images were always portraits. Sure, I have a few pretty flower pictures and even have some desert landscapes. Most images, however, are very contrived portraits. Its interesting that my childhood perception of "photographer" was taking pictures of people.
Check out one of the first wedding portraits I shot. I've come a looooooong way!
Thanks for reading!
Love,
ME
