FIRST BLOG POST!

Wow! Blog post number ONE! Where do I begin? I guess the basics of who I am, what I do, how I got here are on the rest of the website. So I'll skip those details.

How about being this is my FIRST blog post, I start with my FIRST photo shoot.

If you read the About section of my website you know I've recently started photography (about April 2013). I figured I'd see if this was a whim or if I was serious. 

I have a wonderful friend, Megan, who graciously agreed to let me use (and abuse) her as a test subject earlier this summer. This was my first photo shoot. It was my first "fight or flight" shoot; it was my FIRST time outside of my property line shooting on Manual mode. Was I going to get frustrated, confused, angry, feel uninspired, lost, quit?

NOPE! The sun was setting and I just wanted it to stop so that I could keep shooting. I could have stayed out there all night if I had been willing to start testing out flash! Here's some shots from that shoot. Not too bad for my FIRST try!
