As of late a LOT of people, for some reason, have been asking me to take important photos for them. Not to mention handing me money at the end of the day. I've so far taken photos as an honorary photog for two weddings, as a "semi-pro" senior portrait photographer as well as a good friends engagement photos.

I feel honored that they are allowing me to capture such incredible, personal events. I also am in love with the fact that they enjoy looking at the world through my eyes. I do worry that really all I am is a girl with a beginner dSLR, a standard 18-55mm lens and a passion for taking pictures that truly capture the "in the moment" feeling. Maybe worry isn't the right word. I just feel that I'm a scuff or a scar amongst "real" photographers. My mediocre editing and my ability to only take pictures outside in decent light [no strobists or speedlights for this girly, yet!] make me feel like I am trying to be a "cool kid" while wearing k-mart jeans.

I don't think I'm explaining myself correctly. Nor does it matter as I'm just rambling anyway. What I do know, is you can have the most expensive camera, flashes, box lights, lenses, et cetera... and without the sheer love of the craft, your pictures are no nicer than that beginner chick with the Nikon D60 and standard lens. Cheers!
