Well my initial post was taking a video of me to introduce myself & to reintroduce myself. Tell u a little abt me & to finally face my fear of being in front of the camera speaking. But unfortunately I had a reaction to some eyepatches that I left on for over an hour when if u know they were only suppose to be on for 15-20 minutes. So my eyes, cheeks & under my chin were swollen & red with burning & itching bad. Got a steroid shot & hopefully it will start healing. π€π So AI to the rescue!
My name is Anna Pineda & I'm a photographer. I have been doing this part time as my other full time was kids in elementary & me volunteering, MS volunteering being band mom & volleyball mom duties. Then HS & club w/ volleyball duties & traveling. Then w/my mom I had to focus on getting her healthy so that meant becoming her caretaker which I love because I have finally after 5 years have finally got her back to somewhat herself even though she was diagnosed w/depression which led to dementia. Which also has led to different ways of looking on how not only taking posed pictures but pictures in their element. Which are, having a good day, bad day, sad days & days of feeling lost & alone. Ways we don't really see w/the naked eye, but ways the camera can only see.
That is why this year I have decided to try something different. One is having pictures taken w/their senior, one w/dad only & one w/mom only w/their seniors. The pictures w/only mom & dad w/their seniors will be sent to the senior only so they can surprise & gift them to u for Mother's Day & Fathers Day.
Now w/something I want to do & that is taking a video during their sessions & that is asking them abt their 13 years in school. Asking them about their favorite teacher, their friends, the sad times, fun times & memorable times. Something they can treasure for years. But since I have lost my 2nd photographer this is going to be a challenge for me & I'm excited to try this. I'm asking for 1 senior to volunteer. Even if your senior graduated early. Just send me message & I will give out details. I would like to try & do this next week if possible. So if interested message me ASAP! π
Stay tuned for more details tmr!
