My photography story

I knew I wanted to be a photographer around the time my son turned 4. Plus, I grew up with my dad always into photography and videography, he was always my inspiration. So I got a cheap point and shoot camera and started shooting. My first photos of my son I took I fell in love with and thought I was just born for photography. hahaha yea I look back on them and just laugh. Now they were not horrible by any means but they definitely not the quality I believed them to be. In the last 10 years I have grown soo much. 9 years ago, with the help of a group of very special ladies, I started taking photography classes and haven't stopped, some of them include NYIP, Rocky Mnt college, and through various other professional photographers. I highly believe in you can never stop learning and if you stop learning you'll never grow.

Here is a picture of when I first started taking pictures.

And here is where I am at today with the same subject (my son haha)

Capturing Fireworks on your Phone

I am so excited for the 4th to be here. The fire roasted hotdogs and smores, smoked meats, the smell of grills being cooked on, friends and family all gathered around in the backyard, fire pit swings (yes the Pinterest one I'm so very lucky to have a husband that loves building things) and of course FIREWORKS. You might be thinking "I can't take good firework pictures I just have a phone not a fancy dlsr." Well my friend, you can't be more wrong. You can capture great firework shots on your phone. The secret? Slow your shutter speed! What the heck am I talking about? Haha I will show you. Samsung users can use their normal camera app. iPhone users will have to get a new app like "Slow Shutter Cam" or "Camera+" You will also need some way to steady your phone on a tripod or some make shift device that insures your phone will not move. You will not be able to hand hold your...
