My Passion

(Ella - Jamie and Derrick Njaa's little girl)

I am so excited to have found a hobby to become totally obsessed with! I have recently taken up the hobby of photography. It is an extremely expensive, but fun and rewarding hobby. I took interest in it after I had my third baby in October. My sister bought me a camera for Christmas that year, and that was the start of my obsession! I was extremely surprised when Matthew came home on Valentine's Day with a brand new Panasonic FZ50! It was a Valentine's/Anniversary present which really impressed me, as Matthew doesn't usually acknowledge either occasion!

After I received my newest gift, I began snapping pictures, and haven't stopped yet, much to the dismay of my children...haha! Thank goodness Logan is still a baby and can't complain the way his older sister Madison can!

I had some people ask me to take their pictures, which led Matthew to believe we could make a career out of this hobby of mine, so he found a place in Birch Hills to rent, and decided I should give it a try. I was extremely nervous, and didn't think I was ready...there is still so much I need to learn! However, Matt's faith in me ended up winning, and I have opened my new studio, First Impressions Photography. I am not swamped with clients by any means, but that is fine with me...it gives me much more learning time!

I have even been asked to do a wedding this summer, but I definately don't feel ready for that, and I am secretly hoping they decide to go with someone else. A wedding is way to important to let a beginner photograph.

I am looking forward to the future, and wondering what it holds for my new found passion!
