It's been a long winter, the snow seems like a distant memory.  The warm weather is an exciting time for photographers, although photographing all year long is just as fun and challenging at the same time.  I encourage everyone to photograph daily. The saying practice makes perfect has some truth to it.  Photographing on a regular basis gets you familiar with your equipment, in any weather.  You begin to feel comfortable with the various settings.  Photographing with friends is also fun, asking a friend out or meeting new people is another great way to learn.  Your friend will be glad you contacted them to photograph.  Wear sunscreen, bring water and snacks, a comfortable planned out day with friends leads to great memories, some good laughs, with hopes of getting that great shot.  

Have fun,

Jackie Stevens
