Why I photograph

I have been taking pictures for years now. I have just recently looked into editing my photographs. I love capturing nature scenes, to me it is a stress reliever, a calming down technique. I do not sell my photographs, but may down the road. My favorite photo to date is this one:

I took this photo at the farm that I am currently renting here in Jefferson Co, IN. It is so beautiful out here, so many lovely things out here to capture. I entered this photograph at the visit Madison website: visitmadison.org. They chose my picture as one of the winners for their Spring photo contest.

I take my camera everywhere that I go, because I never know when a photo may present itself to me. Plus I love to capture all memories that happen. Over the years I have dealt with a lot, personal and non personal stresses, and taking pictures is one of the best ways I have found that helps relieve this. I just grab my camera and go for a walk. Here are a few pictures that I have captured on these outings:

I also love capturing moments with my children too. You can never have too many photographs of your children, because you can always cherish those moments in a photo. Here are a few that I have taken:

So I just wanted to share with everyone, why I do this, I will continue to post my photos and a story behind the photos that I take. Everyone have a beautiful day and grab a camera, get outside, and enjoy nature and life!
