Emily has had the fun opportunity to participate in a teen photography workshop taught by the sweet Sandi Gentry. This workshop couldn't have come at a better time.
Emily has had a desire to learn photography for some time now. She constantly wants to use my "good" camera and is saving up her hard earned cash to buy her own. We were trying to figure out some way for Emily to learn the technical in and outs of photography when Sandi's class came along.
The pictures below are from Emily's first homework assignment. She set up the photo shoot, gathering things from our house (and balloons) that she wanted to use. She arranged to have Megan serve as model. I was the driver and holder of props. I tried to insert teaching comments here and there but my independent little Emily nicely informed me that if she needed help she'd let me know (she really was nice about it so I just tried to bite my tongue) I'm glad I did...I love what Emily came up with.
She still has technical things to learn and master but that will come. What I love is that she has a creative eye. I love what she captured through her lens...what she sees.
Here are some of my favorite shots that she took. Her homework shots were unedited, these however are all edited with instagram (our family has a current obsession with the look of instagramed photos) I'm excited to see the progression of Emily's talent as she continues to explore photography. Can't wait to frame some of her photography!
