Hello.

I'm Cherie. The only thing I want to do is photograph. I decided to try out TPF because I don't really know anyone else in the field personally. I figured this might be a good place to ask questions and learn a thing or two.
I'm a retail studio manager, which allows me to be a full-time photographer with a steady paycheck. I've been doing that for almost 5 years now. However, I grow tired of the same old thing at my "day job". I'm really anxious to grow my skill and become a better photographer outside of the "retail environment" studio atmosphere.
I use Nikon, mostly because that is what I learned on and I am familiar with it. I love my camera.
Hoping I can get what I've been looking for out of this.

HI!

My most recent failure...

my niece in natural light, she's 2.5 now, so this isn't exactly recent, I just like it a lot. She was so tiny!

yeah...

I'm usually the only person around to practice with, so this is my first go at self-portraiture to play with lighting and flash. I desaturated a tad, but I am actually very pale. Most people think my pictures are over exposed unless there are other people in the picture with me, lol.

These are just a few for now. Probably not my best, just kind of a random picking, really. Meh.
Enjoy?
