Thinking Photography....

My love of photography should not come as a shock to my family or friends.   I have always loved capturing the moments that make mine or my children's life. I have taken several and filled up so many creative albums... I have a special cabinet that is the length of my hallway just to store all my albums in. My favorite kind of photos are the ones that are unexpected.  The ones that capture a smile, or a laugh with a wide opened mouth.  A look between a happy couple... an older couple that still hold hands... A water balloon as it hits your face... or the look ON the face after the balloon busts and half your face is soaked.   Those are the fun pictures to capture.  Staged photography is great, but it doesn't show me personality or reaction to the surroundings.  I am really good at capturing the feelings and emotions  when I take pictures.  I also like to get creative with them to make them better.  My creative mind works into over time when I have the thought of a photo shoot.  That is why I am thinking, very seriously I might add, of really pursuing a career in photography.... even it if is strictly part time.  I know a lot of people that can't really afford to have "professional" pictures taken, yet really want them, and that is where I could come into play.  I could take pictures for that happy couple that just got engaged, or that single mom or dad that wants a family shot.  I can even do a special day if your willing to let me do it.  My nephew had a professional photographer at his wedding, yet use my photos for everything because he said "they were better and were more fun looking." While building my portfolio I could take them for a very low cost... next to nothing... and it would help me build up my experience. I have tons of examples of my photography on my facebook.  So, if you, or anyone you know, would like to have any type of fun pictures taken, send them my way.
