Deanna: My Photography Journey

Like I said in our Welcome post, I started doing the professional photography course through The Photography Institute in September 2013. I had been battling around the idea for a few months. Then, when Ben and I were on our honeymoon - he convinced me to buy my first DSLR. Shortly after we got home, they had a deal going for 50% off the course! I am a huge bargain shopper - so I couldn't pass it up.

The course has 12 modules - each with a reading assignment and then a hands-on assignment. I am on the final one, which is choosing the area of photography you want to work in and creating a portfolio of 6 images. I am focusing on portraiture - newborns, children, families, couples, maternity, etc. I've been having a hard time with this assignment because so far I have only done 2 paid shoots and the rest have been with family. Luckily I have all summer to get more practice in!

I recently just created my photography Facebook page, and did a giveaway for a free mini session. (Check out my page here) Stay updated on our blog, and my Facebook page to see my photos and watch for more giveaways and specials! Here are a few of my recent photos…
