My first professional project

November 6, 2009

I feel a little silly putting this out there because I'll probably look back in a couple years and shake my head. You know how when you start doing something you are so proud of your achievements and then as you get more skilled you feel foolish about your early excitement. Or am I the only one who feels that way?

Well I don't care because I am excited about sharing my first professional photo gig with you. Way, way back in April I took photos for a local dance school mostly as a favor to my friends who dance there and to gain experience in photographing something other than my kids, my garden and trees. It also yielded a free session of dance for Brienne is exchange for my services - lessons she is loving by the way.

Androscoggin Dance now have those photos up on their website and I get a little warm fuzzy (along with embarrassment) that my name appears on every page as the photographer.

I have a pregnancy and newborn shoot for a friend coming up this winter. I have absolutely no experience in that domain, always something new to learn. But I feel much more comfortable photographing trees!
