A Second Love

Writing has always been my number one passion. I've been writing since I was around eight. However, my next biggest passion is photography. It started out as just a hobby, but then it turned into more of a side gig.

I have a little brother who plays almost every sport so I always had a reason to have my camera ready. I try to take pictures of everything from newborns to stormy clouds. Nothing is too small to capture!

As an adult, I've looked back over my life and realized there weren't enough pictures taken with my love ones. Everyone is always too afraid to be themselves in front of the camera. So I make it my mission to take those embarrassing pictures that people wouldn't generally take. I've had some friends and family get upset with me at the time, but months (or years later), they laugh at those pics. I use those pictures in birthday or Christmas gifts. They love them!

I'm not like most professional photographers, I don't like to overcharge for my shoots. My price too high? We will work something out. Some say that's not a good thing to do or a good way to make money. Honestly, it isn't about the money for me. I'd rather you pay me what you can, love your pictures, and book another shoot with me then charge you an arm and a leg. Once I open my own studio then I may be a lil more strict on my prices, but until then, it's up for discussion. =)

I used to use a cheap little camera or my phone camera. Now I use my Nikon D3200 and I love it! It works really great for my brothers sports games; great for action shots! And perfect for my hyper Reptar and his puppy friends!

If you happen to be a local to my area and want some pictures taken, or want to see more of my work, look me up on facebook. Search PassionateJ Photography! You can send me a message! Don't forget to hit that like button too!!! 

That's all for now. Be easy, stay blessed.

My life

As you go through life, things change. People you once spent a lot of time with come and go. New people enter just as such. Every once in awhile, you get a handful of people who don't go anywhere. And you can consider yourself blessed to have those people. 

I found myself someone who seems to wana stick around. He's my best friend. The one I can turn to with anything, who always listens, and always thinks about me in more ways then one. 
He has helped me learn how to look at life in a different way and I'm forever grateful. Life is too short not to have someone to enjoy it with. So having this wonderful man by my side day in and day out is one of the best gifts I've received. 
The way he looks at me gives me butterflies every time he looks my way. The way he loves me makes me feel like the only woman in the world. I've been sick for a week and he's been so good to take care of me. I don't want a day to go by without him knowing how much he means to me and how much I love him. He's my everything. 

Be easy. Stay blessed.
