My Favorate and most influencial photographs

The following photographs are my favorites that I have taken, and have influenced me in various ways.

I love taking pictures of people, especially children doing what ever they do.


I took this photograph of my niece last year, and has since become my favorite picture. This picture I originally took in color, and by accident changed it to black and white. which I feel emphasizes her features. The lighting on her face emphasizes her long eyelashes, and her innocence.

This photo was one I took last year. I learned that you can find beauty any where you look, depending on the angle you approach it. These leaves were on the steps of school blown into a corner.



















My sister asked me to take her wedding pictures in November. This is a shoot that I learned a lot from, by mistakes, and experience. At other weddings I have taken candied pictures of the bride and groom, and thought that it would be simple to take the posed pictures. Luckily I had done research and practiced before the "big day". I am embarrassed to say that on this shoot I learned how very important focal point is. I was so excited to take the pictures I didn't concentrate entirely on where the cameras focus was. I have some amazing pictures, with the bride and groom out of focus. I am very greatful that I took LOTS of pictures.



This is a photograph that I took of my husband obviously fishing. I found in while taking this image, photography doesn't need to have hours of set up time, nor needs perfect conditions. This was an image that I took for an assignment in Photo 2. It was starting to rain, I placed my camera on the tripod, covered my lens with a towel, took this shot and ran back to the car.
