My first unofficial, official photoshoot was of my friend and boyfriend, both separately and together. It was a fun experiment to see what I could do, what I could come up with - the possibilities were endless, even though we were limited to only the yard. They listened to all my suggestions, including my little moments of thinking out-loud to figure out what I want to do next, and they even provided their own ideas and suggestions for me to try out. There was a ton of experimenting that day, as well as crouching... Ow. My knees kind of hurt after that.

That year also brought me the opportunity to try a professional photo editing software, which was quite difficult to learn at first, but I eventually got used to it, using it today to meticulously edit photos to the best of my ability. I always love learning something new!
