After much encouragement from my family and friends, I’ve decided to take this photography thing one step further. No, I’m not ready to charge yet (although some donations to Lokes would be appreciated – the gear is burning a hole in his pocket), but I have set up a site for my portfolio and will be putting some of my work there.
Also, I’ve signed up as a volunteer photographer for Flashes of Hope (you can read what they’re about there), and am offering up my services for anyone you may know, who live on the Eastside or Seattle downtown areas, who have someone terminally ill in the family or going through difficult final moments with a loved one who may like some positive memories captured for keepsakes. I don’t charge but in exchange, will use (with permission) some images for my portfolio.
Of course, if anyone wants to pay me to take photos of their kids/family events/weddings, I will gladly accept the commission at a very reasonable price with the caveat that I am not a professional (yet) and don’t own any fancy equipment, but I will give you a CD of all your images and ask to use some of them for my portfolio.
With that, I give you Jennifer.Tai Photo.Artistry. If you like my work enough, please write me a testimonial at my Flickr profile (which I will reproduce at this site of course). Or leave me some comments.

You go girl!
Why am I not surprised, Jenn?
Thanks, Asther. You have given me a lot of encouragement. I don’t have the courage to “sleep whole body” into it but step by steplah right?
Pelf: It took me about six years since I got my first Canon 350D. Time to get serious yea?
Way to go! Keep clicking and hope the $$ keep rolling in
I was just thinking looking at the photos of your girls that you should go professional. And you’re taking that right step! Good for you!
If I was living in your area, I would so want you to do photos for any events I might hold… and pay you too!
You guys are so kind!! I will take it slowlylah. Lokes says I have impossibly high stds that I will never think I’m good enough. I want to be as good as some Flickrites I know like Miss Aniela, Anna Osk, Taylor Christian Jones (search for them in Flickr and you’ll see), Vanessa Thomz. Now THEY are good.
congrats on the new endeavor…i hope it all works out!
