A little more about me...

I am new to this whole "blogging" thing, so bear with me as I stumble through.  

I am so excited to share my thoughts and a little more detail about the wonderful people, locations and experiences I get to capture from behind the lens.  I have always had a passion for photography and have dabbled in a few different styles.  I attended Montana State University's photography program, which was essentially an art photography program.  I learned so much, but also had some frustration with the comments I always seemed to receive, "your images are too commercial".  I mean honestly, what does that mean? I may be able to make money with my images?  Is that not the purpose of going to college?  To learn a skill to help you get a job and hopefully that job aligns with your passions?  It wasn't until I attended a sports photography workshop, The Sports Shooter Academy, that I realized my style wasn't wrong, but did need some fine tuning.

I spent 4 years in Nebraska shooting mostly sports, mostly marathons, which was a great way to learn how to take portraits, and how to interact with people as you take their portrait.  I probably have thousands of marathon finishers portraits (something I will never have of myself, no running for me).

As my husband and I returned to Montana, I struggled with what I wanted to do, how I wanted to brand myself (hence me just starting a blog, its 2018, I think everyone has a blog!)  Then came kids (two boys in two years) and here we are, I am still trying to create an identity for myself.

But what I do know is I love photography, weddings, engagements, families, love.  I have a passion for this and really love to hear what my clients think of their finished images.  I also love networking with other photographers, learning, being inspired. 

So there it is, my first blog post, that wasn't too bad ;D
