Photography

Since I was a little girl I have always been in love with photos. My mum as disorganize as she is, kept photos all around the house, as also my dad always enjoyed taking photos. I used to go around the house, to every cupboard, to every closet, looking for those slides or old family photos, albums, anything that I could look at and take me back to the time where my parents met, to the black and white photos of their wedding day, to the time my sisters were figthing over a spade at the beach, to the day of my baptism, to any day that could tell me a little bit of my life and where I came from. I guess I was peculiar that way, but I always loved looking at old photos, even of people I never met.

Growing up in Argentina, with the inflation going up and down as it pleases, not every kid had a camera growing up. My dad got me my first one when I was 12 years old. A yellow Kodak one. I was so proud my dad trusted me with one. Even though it was probably a cheap one! ha ha
I took it for the first time on a school trip to Tandil.
I always remember the words my dad said when he saw the photos I took, after developing them. Veronica, you take good photos, you have a good eye. That stuck with me through the years. It was the year before my dad passed away.

My husband,family and friends often make fun how obssesed I can get when it comes to photos. It's easy to be dissapointed too, when you seek for perfection. But, I won't get into that now.

All that to say that I'm going to pursuit my old time dream. I got my first entry level SRL over 1 year ago, a present from Marc ( who also introduced me to my first ever digital camera when we were dating)  and since then I think I have learned a lot! I'm still learning and is a very exciting ride for me!

I love capturing the moments, the expressions, the love, the soul of a person. I started with my own son who I adore and now to spread my wings to begin to capture others as well. It's my passion to see the beauty around, to be able to capture it as I see it and to give that as a gift to others, to me it's priceless.

At the moment, I just opened a facebook page, so you can check the photos I would be taking as the sessions are increasing...., other than just my family photos as I put in my regular facebook.

Have a look and follow my journey! Veronica James Photography
