Photography

So, recently I rediscovered my passion for photography and have been having so much fun! Five years ago, I took a photography class as an elective during my undergrad. I had no idea how much I would end up loving it. I have dabbled in photography since then, but never really devoted myself to it. Last summer, I took a photo workshop, but was too caught up in wedding details to devote time to practicing. Now with all my free time, I have been learning lots and lots on my own! It is amazing how much can be learned through books and the internet. I realized that I don't even need to spend loads of money for classes! James has been pretty amused to watch me prance around the apartment with my reflectors and camera, testing out different lighting scenarios near windows. And he has been such a trooper, letting me take tons of pictures of him. Last Saturday, when my new camera arrived (thanks for the bday gift mom and dad!) he even let me do a mini photoshoot of him outside! My new camera is amazing. It's a Nikon D90, and upgrade from my D70. It's been pretty easy to learn to use since it's built exactly the same and almost looks identical. I have also been working on my photoshop knowledge. It's like magic. And it's definitely an art that I'm far from mastering!
Here is my favorite photo I've captured so far....of my favorite subject: JAMES! Isn't he dreamy? I'm so glad he's my hubby :):)
Tomorrow I am lucky enough to get to test out my skills taking engagement photos of my beautiful mother in law and her fiance Chuck (as long as it doesn't rain). This is wonderful since I've been itching to get out and practice!!!!
