I couldn't stop snapping


Well this is it. My absolute true love of life. When I was younger I started with a polaroid camera - I took pictures until the film ran out. I then bought a disposable camera. And then another, and another. Finally I upgraded to a film camera and 27 pictures were just not enough for me. My first real digital camera was a Canon point and shoot. I had thought I fell in love until one day I saved up enough money to buy my first SLR camera - The Rebel. And let me tell you, like any typical teenage girl, I fell for the Rebel. I snapped a picture here and I snapped a picture there. I couldn't stop snapping. I would take pictures of flowers and pictures of people. Whatever I thought was beautiful and whatever I could possibly shoot, I shot. I wouldn't go anywhere without my camera, in fear that I would not be able to capture that one moment; that one true moment where you realize a picture IS worth a thousand words. I was so afraid that I would miss that one moment, the one where you wished there was a camera around. That one where you will never be able to relive that moment again. And that one where you may not want that picture at that time, but years later you look back and laugh...and say 'thank God we got this on camera'. So here I am, Michelle Catherine. I am here to capture those moments for you. Those once in a lifetime moment pictures. The ones that make you sit and just say aww, because some photos will just leave you speechless. Here I am to capture those breathtaking photos, you know - the ones that will bring a tear to your eye, and a smile to your face. This is my life, my love and my passion.
