Photography!

 

Those that know me know that photography is one of my passions. I am a very creative person. I love all kinds of creativity, especially writing, design, and photography. But even interior design I also really like. I am just a creative person by nature, and I love to use colours. I see some designers who keep it neutral and don't use many colours, but I like to use vibrant colours.

Well I on one of my email accounts have my signature for photography. I volunteer at an animal shelter; see a previous blog post for more about my shelter work. However, I responded to the volunteer coordinator and he saw I do photography. I was asked if I could help out to take pictures of pets with Santa. So in November, I will be doing 4 sessions (4 days).

I am excited about that because for so long I wanted to help with photography and am finally getting the chance to do it. I tried reaching out to them numerous times and never had any feedback so I stopped trying to knock on the door. But I am excited to do this.

I also when I went with 4 ladies from the church to a restaurant I like to celebrate my birthday. One of them decided to carpool with us so I showed her my portfolio and she said I was really good. She asked for my links and I sent to her. She sent it to a couple of people, and one of the main people at my church, and when we went there last week for an event, she asked if I would take the photos. I agreed I would.

However, I have not heard anything from her. I did and included a few shots I took here. Please do not use. I did not word mark these. However, my problem is I have really bad crowd anxiety. If there are one or two people no worries for me. But when you get lots of people I freeze. I was to walk around but I was not able to.

I have a feeling I won't be doing things any further for them and this was a one time thing. My photos did not turn out how I had hoped they would. I did though include here a few of my faves.

I may do photography again but for myself.I have the same angles and its really hard for me to move. I freeze. Days I have to go to the washroom I feel so nervouse to walk out of the church. Its something that I have had since a little girl. But at least it was a different experience. It might of been one day but I experienced something different.

Now I am looking forward to taking photos with pets and Santa.
