Ashleigh {Class of 2013}

Everybody already knows just how much I adore being a photographer.  It is honestly hard to call it work.  I cherish every person that I have the honor of photographing, and I am always just so amazed when I am the one chosen to capture their memories!  You know the cliche` "If you love your job, you never have to work a day in your life"? Well, that is ever so true!  I am doing what I truly feel I was meant to do...and I am learning something new everyday.  Everyday I strive to improve.... I put my heart and soul into this business, so that is why I was so thrilled to have been asked to be a mentor!

I am mentoring a  Senior who is looking to pursue a career in photography.  I took that as the ultimate compliment!  Ashleigh is working with me for her senior project.  Together we are going to be working  to develop her portfolio for admission into a photography school.    We will be learning camera settings and their meanings, different techniques, editing and of course the business aspect too!  At the end of her senior year.. she will have developed a fantastic portfolio, and a sense of what it is like to run a legit photography business.   

We have met a few times already, but yesterday we had the opportunity to actually have some camera time.  For the first true learning session, we had a photo shoot! Ashleigh was the model, to get a feel of what it is like to be on the other end of the camera.  While doing this... we captured some amazing shots!!  Take a peek!!
