{{Understanding my passion}}

{For starters, it's going to take me a while to figure out how to work these blog things.}

I've always frowned at the thought of starting a blog. Honestly, I'm just not that interesting of a person, and I know people aren't interested in reading some hum-drum stories about my life/views/opinions. HOWEVER, I definitely see a reason for having a photography blog. Photography is not my job it is my passion! I am starting this blog to share my passion. I will be sharing tidbits from sessions and my feelings about the SESSIONS and my clients/friends.  I will try my best to not put personal information about my clients/friends that will hurt them in ANY way!

 I will simply put my experiences and feelings about my sessions. I want people to see a personal side of me. I want them to know {if I don't express it to them personally} that I thoroughly enjoy my time with them. Every session is different and unique in its own way. I can have hopes and wishes for each session, but I can never predict how it will go. I love the relationships I develop with my clients/friends from my sessions. I am using "clients/friends" because I honestly feel like going into a session I have a "client," but at the end of the session I have a new friend. You never predict what kind of bond you will have with someone until they are holding a camera in your face for an hour. ;)  I try to make lemonade out of lemons. It is an akward situation for most anyone to have your every move snapped for an hour or more. I'm aware of that, and I try to make it as "normal" as possible <if it's even possible at all.>

As much as this blog will be for my clients/friends, I will use this blog for myself. I love seeing my work and how much it improves and changes over time. I want to write down memories from each session because it is something that I will cherish forever. If I'm ever contemplating why I do what I do, I want to be able to look back and read those memories and see those people and KNOW that THEY are the reason I do this. I love being creative and being able to express myself through my photography.

Ok, **I hope you're still with me at this point**..   That's enough for me rambling on for now. I would be honored if you would follow me through my journey in photography. I certainly hope it never ends. :)
