Its not as easy as it looks

  When I started school I thought I was getting into something easy and simple. Guess again, Photography classes are not easy and far from simply pushing a button.
     It is not as simple as pressing a button. Photographers take the time to  prep, take the photo, edit, and deliver. Photographers have to have an eye for photos, know how to properly expose, compose, and many more task to make that perfect photo.
   Never sell yourself short always strive for the best that is what my friends and I do.  I have fought everyday to get through almost 2 semesters of college with an A average. Fighting with lighting, composition, finding models and/or subjects plus many more obstacles. It has been a big challenge. Even with all the fighting to get everything perfect (at least to me) Photography has been a challenge a big learning experience and makes me realize this is still what I want to do.

Having a child while in photography classes

Since my daughter was born I have been to school for two different degrees. Early childhood education and now Photography which both are a childhood dream of mine.
     Early childhood education was fun and yes a challenge but it was pulling my daughter and me apart. I was working full time and going to school full time. When in the end i did not find it fair for my daughter to feel abandoned by her mother while I was in school trying to get a education to be with other children.So i had to quit Early childhood education in school and live it with the most important child in my life, my daughter.
      Photography on the other hand, has pulled me and my daughter even closer.When I need a model she once again becomes my number one and when she isn't she is standing right beside me with her little point and shoot camera, trying her best to get the same image as mommy if not striving to do even better.
      I honestly did not know if going to school for Photography was going to be a good idea when it came to my daughter and I, with our relationship, but it also is becoming a dream of hers, which I will support.

Welcome my name is R.Loretta Moorehead Photographer for Blue Moon Memories. I've been into photography for as far back as I can remember.My first camera i ever owned was a 110 film camera. I was only 7 years old and always taking snapshots of my family and animals.from the age of 12 up until I was 17 I had a 35mm. I would take pictures of all my friends at school.When I turned 17 I got my first digital camera which was a Kodak Easyshare. In 2005 when my beautiful daughter was born she became my main subject. Now here I am with a canon T3I in my first year of college majoring in photography at Catawba Valley Community College (CVCC) and still loving it.
