Thanks for following my blog...I've just started to figure this whole blog-deal out, and think it might be a good way to get my thoughts out, watch my growth and hopefully get some feedback from you! The only way for me to grow is to keep practicing, find my niche and learn from critiques...so please feel free to post your thoughts as well. Let's give it a whirl shall we ; )
The basics - I LOVE photography - I have a Nikon D60 that I absolutely love and try to take photos whenever possible. I'm trying to find my niche but am finding it to be difficult...nature? people? pets? still life? There are so many possibilities and cool things to photograph I get wrapped up in the choices (not a bad problem to have!). So I guess I am experimenting with all sorts of things, including editing and seeing where it takes me...
Lately I have been photographing people and nature. This blog I'll stick to people. My friends and family have been kind enough to let me photograph their kids, pets and take engagement photographs - thank you!! I have a BLAST doing this and get sucked into the editing just as much (Picasa/Photoshop). Anyone who wants to be a guinea pig...just let me know!
I am really getting into portrait photography. I have done 3 Engagement sessions, and 1 kiddie session so far. The energy you get from each couple is different and brings different creative ideas to mind. I like the spontaneity of it as well as the energy you get from looking at the final photographs. That being said, I also find it difficult not to get over-excited and take my time with each shot...I tend to "panic" and usually forget several poses I had in mind. Take it easy...take it easy :) Maybe I should write them down!! It all works out in the end though...and usually the natural feel is what works best.
Kids are also fun...never know what they're going to do so it keeps me on my toes! They move so fast - which I need lots of practice with. It's a good challenge and teaches me to really use the features my camera has to offer.
Well...this is a good start...stay tuned for more blogging and photographs. Future blogs will be more detailed on portraits, nature, pets, kids, still life and funky editing tools.

I think your niche is "life"! I love the pictures of the couples and the dogs from your office. You're good at capturing life in motion.
