Summer Photos

I've always been taught that honesty is the best policy. Here is my truth:

I'm not a professional photographer. (*gasp*)

I hope none of you are disappointed.
I have never claimed to be professional.
I have taken photography classes and I intend on taking more,

BUT ...

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY PASSION

I have chosen NOT to major in photography for that exact reason. 
I would HATE for my passion to become a chore, a stressor, 
or turn into something that I do not enjoy. 
I have chosen a major that I believe in so that I could keep my passion for photography alive.

That being said, I have a favor to ask of you. 
I am CRAVING some summer shoots! 
My arms are literally aching to hold my camera and my brain
is needing to exert some creative juices!!

Let me share with you what I have in mind:

- $25 photo shoots
- 1 location, 1/2 hour of shooting
- 10 edited images on a disc
(More locations, longer shoots and more images can be negotiated)

The reasons: I have a desire to learn. I have a desire to become better. 
I have a desire to explore and develop my creative options, 
AND, I want to give those of you who have "stuck by me" thus far a big "THANK YOU!"

If you are interested in a super cheap photo shoot or want to volunteer to model, 
I'm more than happy and willing to work with you!! 
I am easiest reached via e-mail (clarlawphotos @ gmail . com) and can't wait to hear from you!!

And now for a picture, because this is a photography blog, and it's a rule. 
I took "Nikki the Nikon" out for a drive a few weeks back and tested out the macro setting!

Chad & Chan - Engagements

Last week I was privileged to shoot some Engagements for these two! 
I had a great time getting to know them and capturing their beautiful relationship! 
They were so laid back and wonderful to work with 
and I appreciated so much being able to work with them!

Here are my favorites from our shoot! Enjoy!
