By no means do I consider myself a professional. I wish I could but let's face it, it is purely a hobby. I LOOOVVVEEE to take pictures. Whether it's with a disposable, my phone, or my nice Nikon d700 (handed down by my overly generous father)...I have always loved taking pictures. When my dad was in the Navy he taught himself everything there was to know about photography and became an amazing photographer. He put himself through his doctorate program taking portraits and building a studio from his home in Mississippi-so inspirational. He was a 20-something going on 30 with a kid..finishing his schooling, managing a business, and becoming a phenomenal photographer. I grew up watching him do his "magic"...when Dad would print photos he still used all the old school chemical and machinery for a darkroom. Every time a picture would flash onto the paper and then move to the chemicals and "magically" appear, I was amazed and inspired. My dad's artistic eye is not only my inspiration but my everlasting love and passion for his approval and him to be proud of his daughter who strives to be half as good of an artist as he. Again, I don't pride myself to be even artistic or professional. Photography is purely a hobby that I have taken upon myself after years of watching my dad's pictures reflecting his joy of photographing us kids. Now that I have my own (kid)...I can't help myself but pull out my nice camera and take as many pictures as possible!! There isn't a camera that could catch enough moments and feelings of being the mother of this amazing, beautiful child But..Here are a few....
