Growing up, my father always had a camera in his hands.  He took photos on his trips, of my horseshows, and countless family moments.  {btw, I was a total stinker growing up, and there are countless photos of my tongue sticking out, :-P}  He was one of the first people to embrace digital photography when Olympus came out with their first cameras.  He and I took a trip to Africa when I was twenty, and spent the trip taking photos of everything.  Sharing these photos of such an amazing trip with everyone when we got back home was fun and exciting.

​

Even though my father was using quality cameras {and offering to teach me}... taking snapshots with my cellphone was the extent of my commitment to 'photography'.  Point-and-Shoot cameras are easy to use, but I found that my phone would capture almost the same quality... so why carry two things?  If I was going to deal with the 'hassle' of carrying two things just so I could capture quality photos, it had better be a camera that was going to take higher quality photos than the phone!

​

So, since printing 16" by 20" images captured by using my iPhone isn't going to produce good results, I decided to stop being intimidated by a 'real' camera and pursue photography.  My current camera body is a Canon full frame DSLR, and my favorite lens is a 28mm to 300mm beast that captures images with stunning clarity.

​

I look forward to capturing timeless images for you to cherish!  ~Kimberlee
