self portrait

Self Portrait
Growing up i was the most camera shy child you could ever imagine. I would cry at even the sight of a camera.. funny that I choose to be a photographer. I am learning to like to be photographed and hope that I can learn to be as comfortable in front of the camera as I strive to make those that I photograph feel. The beauty of photography for me is capturing people at their truest self just being who the are. My favorite photos are always the ones that they may not know I shot. Who knows maybe one day i will have the courage to hire a photographer to photograph me- Every girl needs a photo of them selves they can treasure, that tells a story of who they were. And I feel a photography can tell a story all on it's own without words.
Here is just a simple head shot I recently took of myself. Happy Friday!
