My Photography {Photo Reflections}

June 19, 2011 by Dana

Growing up, I would never have thought I would end up with an interest in Photography.  I hated having my picture taken, hated taking photos of others.  It was not something I considered fun at all.
In high school, I took the offered Photography elective only because I needed that class to cover my requirements for graduation.  I learned a lot about cameras and imagery from that class.  I, also, learned to look through the lense and “see” more than just a picture.

In the years that followed, I only took photos when necessary at family events.  I had no interest or reason for taking photos otherwise. 
When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I began to think more about pictures as I wanted to capture every moment of my son’s life.  After he was born, I would take his photos often with my 35mm camera.  After a while it became hard to keep up with developing these images so I bought my first digital camera, an HP from Walmart.
I immediately grew to love my HP camera and my interest in photography began to blossom.  As my son, grew I wanted to learn how to edit his digital photos to capture the best quality possible.  I wanted to capture every single moment of his life, every tear, every smile. 
When my oldest daughter was born my love of photography grew even more.  I now had two babies to take pictures of.  Money was limited and purchased portraits were not an option for us.  I quickly realized I could take my own photos of my children to make up for their lack of professional portraits.
It was at this time that I began to realize I had fallen in love with photography.  I loved working with my digital images to build beautiful portraits and create art with our memories.  My lack of interest had turned into a love of this art form.
I have spent the last 10 years dabbling with photography.  It’s been a slow process because of my daughters challenges, but every day I get a little bit better at it.  It is my hope that eventually I will be able to start my own photography business but for now I’m just happy snapping photos for my family and friends, making their memories last a lifetime.
