Hello All,

My name is Stephanie. I am 29 years old and this is my second year at AMC. I am majoring in Healthcare management while working full-time in HR for a large Healthcare organization. I am recently married and have a large blended family of 6 now. My family consumes most of my "free time" but I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time with friends when I am not working. I love  photography and the stories photographs tell. I've been told I have a creative eye for very good photo opportunities.  This past Christmas, I received a Nikon D3400 (my first "real" camera) and I have hopes to put it to good use; and possibly develop a solid hobby out of capturing life. This self- portrait was taken with my phone (my camera battery was charging). It is taken in the side mirror of my car. I like how it gives the illusion of the photo being split in half but its really my reflection in the tinted windows. I did some slight editing with photoshop since I took the picture during sunset and the quality of the phone camera is not that great. I'm excited to see the different styles of photos from fellow classmates and I look forward to learning more about photo editing and understanding more about light in this class.
