I have decided recently that I want to dive into the world of photography. I took a few classes in college and have always admired it, but I think it's something I could convert to more than just a hobby {with quite a bit of practice}. So I am in the process of doing a bunch of shoots to fluff my portfolio and eventually make a legitimate website to solicit other work. Ideally I would be able to couple my design with my photography. I've just noticed a parallel with how most people get photographs taken for Christmas cards, baby announcements, wedding announcements, etc. and I think it seems like an easy way to fulfill a need without having to generate one out of thin air. If they are needing pictures there's probably a 50/50 chance they have a design/card/announcement need as well.
Over the next few weeks I have a few different photo opportunities that I am getting to take advantage of including maternity, graduation and newborn pictures. This last Saturday was my first official shoot and I was super anxious since I haven't even really assistant camera'd before. Most of what I know I have just picked up from my old job doing video production and digging through other photographers websites. But you have to start out somewhere right? Considering I've only had my DSLR for 3 months and this was my first time out I was really pleased with the results. Now if only I could have gotten Jayden to not cry. The only time he wasn't crying or making an "I'm so angry" face was when he was on his Radio Flyer bike. Good thing we brought that...
So here are a few of shots from Saturday...You can see my top 30 pictures on my Flickr account here.
