Photography Business

Ty has a client set up who is going to pay him for his photography! Since then, he has been busy working up his portfolio (including borrowing the neighbors), finding new locations, and working out a price list. I love being his "assistant" and tagging along with him on these photo shoots. When he is taking pictures, Ty is really "in the zone." I love seeing him so happy when he is behind the camera.
I am also amazed at Ty's natural ability. He has a natural eye for his photos and for color/saturation/etc. when using photoshop. In his new business opportunity he has also been reading and watching internet clips about how to take better pictures. This is really how he learns! Watching the food network is how he learned to cook and watching HGTV is how he learned about interior design. Ty wants to add a third major in photography, but I honestly don't think he needs it. I am so proud of Ty and I am so happy that he has this creative outlet.
You may see his photos at http://mooretn.blogspot.com. He is also working on creating a website, however that is still under construction.

camera

I guess the biggest news as of late is that we finally saved up enough money to buy a really nice professional Nikon camera. (Plus Ty found one that was refurbished and therefore cheaper.) We love it! Since we bought the camera, we have found many opportunities to use it. One example is that we invited some of our friends to do a photo scavenger hunt with us for Family Home Evening one night. Each couple had a few minutes to first make the list for the other couple. Then we switched lists and had 30 minutes to take pictures of as many things as we could. Here are some of the pictures we took....




We had a ton of fun and got some great pictures!

blogger

I have determined that I want to be a blogger. So Ty helped me figure this whole thing out and let me really make this mine. I think blogging is a great way to share what is going on in our lives. Granted, not much is going on in our lives right now...it is pretty much the same routine everyday. However, I want to find things in our lives to blog about. I hope this will include pictures and anecdotes and memories. At the very least, I hope it keeps people updated. Be watching for some great stuff....
