Passion

My wonderful Husband of mine got me my second baby last week: meet Stacey, my Nikon D3100. I had bought me a Nikon D40 back in '08 but since then, a lot has happened...to it. So after much frustration and complaining because Nikon D40 would act up (a lot) my hubby finally gave in and got me a new camera. :)

No, I didn't want a new camera just to have, I actually have a passion for photography! Everything about photography fascinates me! I owe my passion for photography to amazing Professional Photographer Natalie Norton. It happened the end of my Senior year (so around April of '08) when I had asked Nat if she could take mine and my cousins' graduation invitation pics. She took us driving around and whenever she felt inspired, she'd pull over and tell us to get out and she'd start snapping away. It was such a FUN and AMAZING experience!!! That's when I realized Photography is what [you] make it and there's no "set in stone" way to take a picture. I mean, there are certain rules you should follow but it really is anything that looks good to you. Any(and I mean ANY)thing can be photographed or turned into an amazing picture!

I'm still learning and have a looooong ways to go but with the passion I have, I know one day I will be able to develop my photography skills and hopefully make a name for myself. So for now I'm just practicing and trying to build a portfolio.
