more than just a hobby?

Ok, so I have always loved taking pictures, but I have never really thought too much of it other than "How fun will this be to scrapbook?!" The other day I started playing with my mom's really nice camera and it turned into days of reading the manual, looking at photography websites, and investigating photography classes given at BYU. It then led to a 4-hour photo session with one of my very best friends, Tessa Souter! We drove to this really awesome antique store where there were old cars, doors, signs, chairs, a school bus, etc.! We put together some fun outfits and went for it! It was my first, true experience... I guess you could say... as a photographer! I loved every single minute of it! It was so fun experimenting with the settings on the camera and coming up with fun poses and angles to make a good shot. Tessa was so fun and gorgeous in every shot! ...a perfect lil' model! After that evening I have really been considering making this a bigger part of my life and possibly a career... but we'll see what happens. I absolutely love being creative, and if I could wake up every day doing something I love I can definitely say I would be a very happy camper!

We took a few hundred pictures, but here are a few of my favorites! I had fun editing them too!
