First photography session

My first session was for a business I was volunteering for. I was soo nervous and excited to finally have a session and this was for a few families and individuals. I can hardly remember the details, but I do remember being soo excited and had so much fun taking their pictures and having them displayed on their wall showing everyone was such an honor. I don't even have the images anymore 😖

I do have my first paid photo shoot, it was a senior session and I still have my first dollar. It's suppose to be good luck right :) That session was so much fun we went into the mountains (I lived in Montana at the time) and used an old building in town. Here are a couple shots from that session.

Gangster? No ma'am a real gangster!

When this young man came up to me and said he wanted to do a gangster styled shoot. I thought no way. He told me "No ma'am, not a thug, a real gangster!!!" YES!!! Yes I can do that!!! We had so much fun styling and shooting this session. With the gold pinned suit and gold tie, complete with a fedora!!! Just check these out!!! Pretty awesome right??? What y'all think? Feel free to comment below 😍😍😍

Whats on your photography bookshelf?

Some of the most useful books that I have are these two books. Understanding Exposure helped me out when I was just beginning. The book of Legal Forms I use all the time and keep it on hand for references. Some more books I use all the time are the 500 posing series. I look over them almost every session I have to get fresh ideas. These next two are older books that were given to me early in my photography journey. Photographing Children is not one that I would recommended today. It's outdated and has some controversial images for today's world. The Art of Black and White Photography is outdated but has some really good information and some great black and white photos. I love a good black and white. What photography books do love and hate?

No Script

Sitting here trying to think of my first blog post. I think I will just leave ya'll with this quote. I have no script, nothing planned out, just living day to day doing what I love, soaking in all the knowledge I can.
