Enjoying the Process

Learning how to take good pictures is such a learning process.



I took this picture early on in the summer (June, I think). I remember this particular day really well because something was honestly different for me~ different than any other day I had taken pictures with my camera.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the first day I used a lens other than the one that came with my camera... this was a big step! It marked a "forward movement" (I'd like to think so anyway) and I haven't looked at taking pictures the same way ever since.

I'll say it again~ taking good pictures is a learning process. I feel like I've learned an awful lot since the day I took this picture of my sweet niece Jayden. I still have tons more to learn- I'm constantly reading and researching and practicing (and spending money, do you have any idea how expensive photography is?!?!).

It's all good, and I love every minute of it. One of the best things about the process? Meeting April ~she's an awesome person, she's awesome with a camera, and in a pretty short time she's become an absolutely awesome friend. (And she didn't even have to pay me to say any of that!).

Love the process... I really do.
