It all started like this...

Josh: Boyfriend of almost four years, and one of the many people who encouraged everything photography for me.

So you ask me, how did you realize you loved photography? It has always been in my heart, I just needed that boost.

Almost Two years ago, Josh was getting his GED. and he decided he wanted pictures taken, sort of like senior pictures! he asked me to do them, so It all started then... with a crappy camera, and no editing program. I didn't want to mess the pictures up, but he said he wouldn't trust anybody else, he wanted them to be all him, and not fake.

The instant I started his little photo shoot, My eyes lit up with excitement...let me remind you, I had no clue what i wanted to do with life.

Even though, the camera wasn't the best at that time, I kept going and going. and pretty soon, after months, I knew I wanted to be a photographer, I knew I had it in me the whole time.

SO Josh, brightened up my life, and opened my eyes to something new; Photography.

Look at the difference between my images of Josh...

NOW:

Big changes.

There have been some big changes lately, well some not so big for YOU, but BIG for me. You may ask, why the lack of pictures? why no effort? Well you see, I have moved, and the past few months, I have been working on this new house. It has been crazy, but I haven't forgotten my one true love; photography.

Coming soon:

Nick and Paige: Homecoming 2010

Nick and Paige are adorable! Nick is my nephew(He's 15, scary, huh?), and Paige is his girlfriend! I had the honor to take their photos before their homecoming dance! They both looked so nice, and I hope they have a great time! These are my 'Fave Fives' and their preview! It was so hard to choose which pictures to show them first! I hope everybody enjoys these photos! =)
