I know I’ve already posted these but I’ve gotta shine a special spotlight on them since these are the ones I chose to be featured in a magazine for my own ad!
The first picture is from the car show in may. The first time I held a camera, at all. Stepped out of my comfort zone to ask a random family walking by if I could take their sons picture. He was dressed so perfectly for this truck and you would’ve thought it was a planned shoot! The second is a classmate that reached out to me for her birthday pictures after seeing a handful of things I posted on instagram. The last is from a shoot I pursued after seeing someone post about graduation/ birthday pictures. I saw several other photographers get suggested, those with far more clientele and exposure than I had at the time. Once again, stepped out of my comfort zone and offered my services, showing my portfolio and letting them know I had access to a premium studio, lighting, and the knowledge/ software to handle things they had concerns about. Serious tan lines, straps and things sticking out strangely, I got it done! 7 months into this venture and being asked to do ad shoots of businesses here in Snyder and earning a half page ad for my own photography is such a blessing and wonder to me! I look at these and think how much I’ve learned since then, how much I’ll continue to learn and perfect my craft. Shoutout to everyone who has allowed me to capture precious moments of their family, friends, businesses, and life. I am eternally grateful!! And of course, thanks dad for blessing me with a camera and showing me the ropes.
