Guys guess what! I got hired for my first photography "job". It's just taking portraits of my office co-workers but it's still exciting AND nerve wracking. As you can probably tell from my feed, I don't shoot a lot of people, but I definitely want to start doing more portraits. so this will be a good experience! Anyway, here is a photo from the dunes this summer. And, if you want to follow my adventures in Japan starting in a couple weeks, please check out my travel blog account, @gaijincameragirl.
