Capturing life through photographs is what I love to do. I have a handful of photos that are truly special to me. Out of the thousands of photos I take though why are these photos special? Sometimes it's as simple as a smile or beautiful lighting while other times it's the story behind the photo that makes it priceless to me. These photos are like time capsules documenting my life.
This photo here is particularly special to me. It's the first time it made me think about photography as more than a hobby.
This photo put a little seed in my head that just maybe I could become a professional photographer. Don't we hear it all the time how you should do something you love? Why not me. This is what I love. I have a lot to learn but I'm excited and scared about the possibilities. Since I arrived in Belgium I've been thinking about this a lot. And I think I'm finally ready to take some serious steps forward and see where my love for capturing life will take me. Wish me luck. ;)
It is a very deep shot. I hope your dream works for you. I take a lot of photos but will never try to do it for a living.

Beautiful photograph of mother and child, even though the child is not fully visible (although certainly THERE). I hope you continue to persue your dream.
I love the little bangle in Mom-to-be's navel

That is a wonderful shot. I can see how you could be so satisfied with this one to see a career in the making, just as it shows life in the making.

what a stunning image! As one photographer to another ---you do not need to be wished luck to begin - you have begun and you are unleashed onto the world in sheer brilliance here, as I am sure you will be with all your photography. Excellent SS post!
