Hello, Hello!

[naranjita]

After lurking for a few days, I decided that I needed to get over my shyness and just JOIN.
My name is Sasha and I live in Kingwood (burb of Houston) with my large family. I've been taking pictures all my life but was asked to shoot a wedding by my FIL back in 2008. Since then, I've shot another wedding and various little gigs here and there. I have a Quinceañera next weekend (my first) and a Commitment Ceremony in July (possibly another wedding in June, out of state). The Quince and Commitment Ceremony are both in San Antonio, where I was born and raised. I suppose those are my big jobs to look forward to at the moment!
I don't have many photographer friends and would love to be able to mingle and learn from everyone here. I LOVE what I do and am always looking to improve. This place really is inspiring and I think I'm going to like it here!

I'm pretty new here too, but welcome! Sounds like you're on your way to making this a full-time gig -- nice!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm still trying to get my foot in the door but I hope to make it a full-time gig some day.

Thanks for the welcome! I must admit that I'm a little intimidated by all the talent here, but I think I'm getting better the more I get out and shoot. I'm looking forward to participating and learning more!

Naranjita, me too

Count me in that work in progress group ... I have been in still photography for some time ... but only in the past 2 years as a semi-pro.
