I love that Annika is so much like me. (Except her taste in clothing, that is — but we won’t get into that. LOL!) Over the last 9 months or so she has really taken an interest in photography. She started by assisting me on my on-location sessions by helping me with the lights and carrying things for me. To, from, and during the sessions I would explain what I was doing and why. I would tell her how a camera works and how the settings all work together. She would ask questions and, more importantly, understood and remembered my answers. When I upgraded cameras a couple months ago, my other camera became my backup and Annika’s primary camera. She is now able to be my second photographer when we go to sessions, as well as assist me setting my lights and such. She is amazing! We had some business cards printed up for her with her self-designated title:

She has some amazing images you can see on her flickr page by clicking here.
We will be updating that frequently, so be sure to check it often. Feel free to leave comments, too — I know she will like that!
