Lifestyle Photography and Blogging - my new passion.

shesnotmia · Jan 7, 2013

Hi All!

I've always had a big interest in "Lifestyle Photography". I love viewing pictures that capture little moments of real life: emotion, body language... things like giggles and hand gestures. I also love writing, and I feel that mixing photos in helps tell a story and really engage the reader.

I'm still learning how to use my camera -- I always will be trying to learn new things. But my goal is to capture memories in my life and display them for others the exact way that I saw them in that very moment.

Does anyone else have a passion for this? I'd love to trade some inspiration.

It depends on the moment ("memory" if you will) that's bring captured.

Like...is this moment on time worth capturing? Is this just a snapshot moment to show family later?

But if I'm covering a large Thanksgiving dinner or something then yeah I find it fun

I agree, I wouldn't be taking pictures of things I do daily like brush my teeth!

But, I do think that a lot of even the most little, unimportant moments are special. Plus, like a 365 project, making photographing lots of little moments makes for lots of opportunity to learn new photography tricks.

I like documenting the day to day things. I don't blog though.

Welcome aboard, Mia.

You have some interesting shots on your blog. A few have some issues (focus, exposure, tilting) but, as you said, you're learning.

Well thanks! I'd gladly take any advice. I have a Nikon D3000 I've had for a while, and a 35mm f/1.8 lens I just picked up last week.

pay more attention to your WB. Some of your indoor ones at a bar/restaurants are too yellow. Other than that.. you are darn cute (with whatever hair).
