Need. To. Take. Pictures!

So lately people have been asking me to take pictures for them and my answer, while generally yes, is a little too hesitant for my liking. I'm you're average person: things freak me out, make me happy, cause me to laugh, make me cry. All these things. But nothing causes me more anxiety than someone expecting more than I'm capable of. Not to say I'm not capable of certain things, just that I get scared.

Let me use a good example. Let's say you live in Utah, you've been to Lagoon a million times, and you love the Colossus. The thrill of that first drop, the double loops, the fast speed. You know you love it. But this is your first time this year and you're getting butterflies just thinking about it.

Well, that's me with photography. Because my photography is not well known (and that's probably the biggest understatement!) I don't get asked to do too many shoots. But this causes anxiety, or nerves, on my part! I don't know of anyone who has really hated their pictures (please don't tell me now!), and I know once I get out there I'll love it, but I still get really nervous, because I don't do it often enough. It's always a new experience and I'm sorta terrified of it. So in other words, if you have been contemplating getting your photos taken, please get ahold of me. If you don't have my cell or email, the best way is to comment here or on fb. I'd love to take pictures and because I'm not a hot-shot photographer (yet :) ) my sitting fee is $50 (I know some of you are groaning, it had to go up, I'm still trying to pay off my brand new camera - that may I say, takes a.maz.ing photos!). But this includes the rights to all photos taken - and edited - and I will put them on a CD for you to print as many times as you can possibly imagine!

It's almost graduation, c'mon seniors! Any excuse is a good excuse for pictures :)
