There many reasons I love being a photographer. One reason is it allows me to be creative. I am not great at drawing or painting anything other than a wall. However, with a camera in my hand, I feel like so many things are possible. I love examining a scene and deciding the best way to capture its beauty. I do this even when I don’t have my camera with me (which is not very often these days). I enjoy taking a mundane event or activity and trying to make it interesting.
Not only does photography allow me to be creative, but it also allows me to capture important memories. I have worked with individuals and families to capture memories in the form of portraits and sessions. But it also allows me to capture my own memories. I love taking pictures of vacation, holidays, birthdays, major events, or just your average day.
