Behind the Camera
Moments captured on film, never grow up.
My concept of the perfect photo is to capture a moment in time that shows you. ~ Kimberlee
My Journey Into Photography
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
