Welcome to my Photography Blog!

I purchased a new digital camera for myself a year and a half ago...

SPECS:
Camera Type: Point & Shoot
Megapixels: 5 Megapixels
Optical Zoom: 12 X

...and ever since then a passion for photography has grown in me. I began to become slightly obsessed with taking pictures where ever I went. Recently, my husband, Jeremy, told me that I should consider photography as a career. So, I casually tossed around the idea in my head.

That very next day, I met Andrew Bryant. He is the brother of one of our best friend's wife. Anyway, he was taking pictures of his sister's wedding and I noticed his camera and struck up a conversation with him. It ended up being a God ordained connection for me. Andrew owns his own wedding photography business and he offered me the chance to shadow him. At first, I thought he was just being nice. But sure enough, he did come through on his offer.

Today I went with Andrew to Cedarwood Country Club in Charlotte for a bridal portrait session. I was so nervous. But at the same time so excited. He let me use one of his cameras and take shots. I have never shot with such a nice camera, especially one that is manual. So, the first half of shots I took were all too dark or too bright. But, it's all part of the learning process.

Tomorrow I have the opportunity to be a second shooter for Andrew at a wedding in Durham at Duke Gardens. I am siked, but again, pretty nervous.

(The shot posted above is one of the first pictures I took with my camera a year and a half ago. It was taken at my parents beach condo in Emerald Isle, NC. I love the beach!)
