Never enough time...

 It's been awhile since I have blogged anything. To be honest, the concept of blogging is still a little weird for me. I feel like I should start each post with "dear diary". Things around here have been busy...my semester is coming to a close and I plan to focus on my photography and spend some much needed time with family over summer break. Most of my free time has been spent watching online workshops, tutorials, etc... so I need to get caught up on my 52 week project.
  I am excited about a new opportunity I have been given...it is still in the planning stages, but when it comes together, it will be a great learning experience. I will keep you posted!
  My photography class recently went to a local studio for a tour and to sponge some knowledge from the photographer. It was a lot of fun and we took pictures of each other, to better understand how our clients feel when they are in front of the camera with  a potential audience. Feel free to comment or offer constructive criticism. The first photo is me, taken by my friend Sarah and I did the edits. I took the second photo of my friend Brian and this is the image SOOC.

Playing Catch-up

  I have been so busy with new training and some family situations, that I forgot to post my last 2 projects of the 52 Week Capture Challenge...week 4 was : starts with "C" and week 5 was: "Numbers".  Any comments are appreciated and if you can send positive thoughts my way, that would be great!!!

Hollywood Lighting

    My recent class assignment dealt with Hollywood style lighting...I really enjoyed learning some new lighting techniques, seeing as how I am currently an on location/natural light photographer. The following are a few of the photographs from the class...

Starts with "P"...

  There's not alot going on around here today. I have spent most of my day looking for something that starts with the letter "P" to photograph for the 52 Week Capture Challenge. That sounds simple enough, however it took me awhile to decide on my object.
 I have also been browsing the Internet looking for actions/ textures to use on my photographs. If anyone stopping by can recommend someone that would be great!

I am looking forward to class on Wednesday

Hello and welcome to my blog

  First, thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog...my name is Raye and I am pursuing a freelance photography career. I am a student at the local college and one of my assignments this semester is to create a blog, so here I am...My intent is to keep this blog photography related, that being said, I tend to ramble about life in general and other things I find interesting. I am married to a wonderful man, we have two sons and prior to photography I worked as a psychiatric nurse.
This new journey has been exciting for me...I hope you will travel along as I stumble thru life and chase my dreams!
