The start of something good

Jump to Comments

If you are reading this, you are most likely my husband, a supporting friend or, if I’m very lucky, an extremely gracious client. Whatever the case, I am glad you checked it out. This blog is meant to serve two functions: to display my work and to document my journey. It’s for everyone!

I am Andrea Ackermann and I want to be a photographer when I grow up. I do not consider myself yet grown.

I’m not sure what led to this extreme career change. I know that I have always loved photography and was the token “picture taker” with my point and shoot camera. Now that I have seriously upgraded cameras and have tasted professional photography, I know I am hooked. While my passion runs deep and the call of photography is irresistable to me, I am taking it one step at a time. Right now, I know I am not prepared to “officially” start a business; however, I know it’s something I am supposed to pursue, which is what I intend to do.

So here begins my journey. I am excited to head up a photography team at my church, to learn to shoot indoors and work with people. Next week, I am attending a weekend workshop held by Nikon. I am ready to be taught! I have done a couple of shoots already and I will be posting them on this blog very soon.

To end, I’d really like to thank some people, as cheesy as that is. First of all, Drew. My sweet, sweet husband has been so supportive of my dream, sacrificing other things so I can invest in photography. I know it’s expensive and I am so grateful. Also, Mrs. Jessica Alston, a REAL professional who has taken the time to give me advice. She’s living the dream. Please check her out here! I’m glad to learn from you. I’d also like to thank Michelle Rose from Three Blondes and a Camera (the BEST wedding photography). She is one of the best I have ever seen and is still willing to talk to me.

I am so excited to be posting this blog and to be getting started. Here’s to the journey! Feel free to comment with encouragement, criticism and photo requests

P.S. I guess since it’s my blog, it isn’t a shameless plug…

If you are looking for photography of your children, family, yourself, or your event, I would love to talk with you. While I am still learning, I am able to offer cheap prices and tons of flexibility. Please comment on any blog posting, or contact me at andrea.ackermann@gmail.com OR 301-789-7393. I would be HONORED to photograph you.
