When Angie and Amy emailed me a few months back about writing a tutorial for I ♥ Faces, I was beyond excited. And totally honored. I mean, have you seen the talent that’s over there???
So that article turned into another one.
And another one.
And then they asked me if I would like to turn my “guest contributor” position into a full contributor position.
Quick! Someone pinch me!!
Their contributors are a group of unbelievably talented photographers whose work I have admired for quite some time. And now I’ve been plopped down in the middle of them.
A girl who has just recently started shooting in manual mode. A girl who gets really REALLY bad pictures sometimes because she is still learning how to shoot in manual mode. A girl who is constantly blown away by the talent surrounding her who still wonders if she’ll ever reach that point.
A wife who got a nice camera as a wedding present from her husband so she could take it on their honeymoon.
And in the past 2.5 years, a momma who just wanted to take better pictures of her daughter.
Thank you to Angie and Amy for giving me this opportunity! I am so excited about being a part of this amazing team!
