Hi bloggers! I figured it was about time I posted to this... I decided to make my first blog about one of my favorite types of photography: portraits! It's a good thing my younger brother and cousins don't mind me using them to experiment with my camera, or I wouldn't have gotten my first few paid shoots this past fall!

Ryan's school picture turned out pretty bad...so we took some fun ones over his fall break! What boy doesn't like climbing trees? |

This was my first paid shoot! This was his mom's favorite. She called him a G.Q. model after seeing this photo. |

I borrowed my friend and her daughter to practice some more last fall. They're the reason I got a job shooting a wedding this coming October! |

Her daughter is the sweetest thing. The amount of candy we bribed her with was ridiculous. |

Word of mouth led me to getting this shoot for a family's Christmas card photos! |

My
lovely younger cousins wanted to surprise their mom with pictures of
them for Christmas. This was one of the three we had framed! |
