It's a New year...and Oh How I Have Grown (thank goodness!)

Yep! It's a new year again and I can confidently pat myself on the back and say "Ya done good, kid!" Of course there is still plenty to learn (in fact, I am going to the largest national photographers convention hosted by the Professional Photographers Association this weekend!) But overall I can say that I am very proud of what I have accomplished in my first year of business. Here is a brief look back at the scary beginnings just to show you (and me!) how I have grown and improved! (and to show those out there with expensive cameras that it really is the person behind the camera that makes the image...not the camera.) Thanks to all of my wonderful girlfriends who let me use them as models...and thanks for not killing me for posting these! ha! Happy New Year everyone! Not too sure what happened here, too dark, silk not wrapped properly, nice underware showing....

Do you like my neighbor's roof and my shutters?

My attempt at being cool! Like my floor and kitchen door?

My attempt at "artsy". And this gal is beautiful...too bad the picture is not! ha! Oh- and that is my dining room wall behind her, no backdrops yet!

Wonder if I could have gotten any closer? or more out of focus? or boring and clique'??!!

How about that sheer silk, make of...my bedroom sheet! And her husband's hands? Nice!

A tad too dark, ya' think? And what was I letting her do with that chin? So sorry, Vic!

My attempt at a silouette.....not good!

Again, here is my floor and the wall, where I tapped my backdrop! ha!

At least we had a few laughs...and lots of fun trying!

Oh Kel......what can I say? I had no idea how to use my lights!

or how to position my subjects....

or how to edit! What's with those bras strap lines??!!

OK, so enough with the trip down memory lane! Clearly things have gotten way better (aren't you so glad??!!) Lots more fun (and improved images) to come...and keep your eyes peeled for my new "big girl" website!
