become a photographer

Several years ago my sister got married. She hired a very expensive photographer to snap pics all night long…when she got her wedding album back she had about 15 awesome POSED pictures and about 50 – 60 horrible candid shots. I was actually surprised that some of those pictures made it into the album.

About a month or so ago I saw her wedding album again…and guess what I saw? All the shots I had taken at her wedding! She told me that she had received many compliments on her album, was told how great the photographer captured the energy of the guests…and how they loved the photos that nobody “thought” of capturing. Those stolen moments one person said. Then she said she told them they were taken by me, and their mouths dropped.

Looking back on some of the recent photos Ive taken I dont think Im wrong in marking this goal complete. Im very proud of the pictures I take. Although some may think they arent up to par with “real photographers” work. Im happy with it & thats whats important afterall.

or so Ill be buying myself a new camera. Nothing fancy…but it’s going to be mine. Ive already told myself Ill carry it with me everywhere and Ill take pictures of everything. Im going to start doing this again…maybe even look into some classes if possible. That would be so nice.

I’ve wanted to get into the photography field for a long time. Recently my family and I went to a harvest festival & I took this picture…it’s one of my favorites ♥ my fiance, my children, my brother in law & niece…Sometimes it’s the ones without faces that make the best pictures.
