CrystalMarie Photography

Welcome Readers,
I've decided to join the rest of the Photographers in the blogging world.
Let me start off by saying how I've come to the conclusion i want to be a Photographer. There are many different reasons and i seem to find more of them as i go on this path. My heart simply has raw passion for it. I smile so much during photo sessions that i end up with aching cheeks! I remember as i was growing up i had a box full of pictures that i managed to take with me each time i moved to a different State. Those photographs held so much for me, the smiles, the laughs, the memories they brought back. I love photographs. I cannot have enough of them. To me, they are my life's quotes.

I've seen so many Professionals work and thought " I can totally do that". And i can. I am learning, and moving forward. I am not going to lie, its so hard to move up and on. You get depressed, discouraged, and you lose hope. I have friends and family that support me through those times. But when the work does come along, its just refreshing!

I've also realized that not everyone is going to see the beauty i see in pictures. I see certain things and find it to be a great photo, while others are like "I just don't get it". I've learned to accept that, i guess its the reason i love photography because I'm gifted enough to see what others often don't.

I am going to share my downside, what I'm not so great at- telling others what to do, how to pose, how to sit. I lack in that area, I'm still fresh in this and I'm sure the more i go the more comfortable I'll become. I get so caught up in the moment, that i forget all the things i knew i need to know. There is alot to the picture, you've got to create a beautiful background, manage great lighting, the perfect angle, and it all boils down to .2 seconds. And either the picture is, or it isn't.

I have always said that if i become a Photographer, i don't want to capture just smiles but memories. I don't at all like the basic "look at the camera and say cheese".....nope, that simply doesn't work for me. Instead, i love the moments that otherwise aren't suppose to be the ordinary pictures, the least expected moments, and yet i am still unable to explain them. I guess I'll just have to write it down with a picture.
I don't know where this passion will led me, I'm praying it takes me far. If God said i can do all things through Him then i know i can do this. He gave me the passion for a reason.

I hope that you find my work suitable, and that your willing to give me the opportunity to create your framed memories. Thanks for reading! :)
