Something new...

I've decided to start pursuing something I've wanted to try for a long time. Photography has been something I've loved for as long as I can remember. My Dad was always on the pursuit of the "crowd pleaser" photograph. In my mind he had many. A picture is something that 10 people can look at and each one will draw something different from it. 10 different memories or ten different points of view. They have a way of making you laugh, cry, ponder, reminisce or give you inspiration.
Over the past several months I've been given the opportunity to take family portraits for some friends of ours and bridal pictures for our friends' sister. So far it has been challenging and a lot of fun. I hope to save some money and take some courses to help improve my abilities.

Below I will post some of the pictures I've taken.

I'd love to get some HONEST feedback to help me improve. (promise I won't be offended, these are my first times taking pictures that aren't family or just recreational)

Pictures from S. Africa

Here are some pictures Dallin sent this morning. His email came late. I was a bit worried/bummed we wouldn't hear from him this week. But to my surprise a bit later we received an awesome letter and these great pics. He looks so happy. I couldn't be more proud of and happy for him. I'm betting he didn't get as up close and personal with the ostrich. Birds are one of his greatest phobias. I wish I could afford to go pick him up from S.Africa after his mission. What a great experience he is living!
