A Review of 2010

As I sit down and try and plan for 2011, I thought it'd be a good idea to review some of my favorite photos from 2010. Of the 12 photo shoots I did this last year, 4 were for family, 2 were for friends, 2 were to help high school seniors in need, and 4 were honest to goodness business building shoots. As I go through these photos’s I can see how I’ve improved. I can see the mistakes I’ve made and how I’ve corrected some of those mistakes. I am still working on setting my goals for 2011. But I do know among those goals I want to improve my photography more and to build my business.

I loved working with all my clients this year . . . . and I'm looking forward to a year of growing my business even more. :)

These pictures of my nephew were done to help build my portfolio. However, I forgot to check my camera settings before the shoot. Turns out I had my settings all messed up . . . these were the only 2 pictures from the shoot that turned out. You can be sure . . . . I check my settings before every shoot now!

                 I love the light in this one . . . Perfect!

This one still makes me giggle . . . . Rachel and Travis, I love you guys! :)

A lot of my favorite photo's from the wedding (like this one) were taken by my friend Angie Abbe. For using a DSLR camera for the first time she really rocked her first wedding shoot. Thanks Angie!!

Another favorite of mine that Angie shot! Look at the expression captured on the brides face . . . . that's what shooting weddings are all about . . . Capturing the Emotion!

This one is one of my favorites because I have a hard time getting people to relax (probably because I can't relax) and give me natural expressions. However with this shot I was able to capture a very natural expression on my sister-in-law's face. And I just love her smile! :)
