N Focus Photography

ford to buy them, and all of them intrigued me. I was in school at the time for IT/computer programming. After taking a few shots of my daughter at home with my pentax 35mm, I soon discovered my inner passion. When the photos were printed, others noticed, and I soon changed my studies to photography. Soon after purchasing my very first 35mm SLR N65 I began shooting, and pretty much couldn't stop. My first clients were friends and family, and women I worked out with at the gym. In a few short months "word of mouth" had me in a whirlwind of portraiture of all sorts, weddings, bridals, pets...basically anything I could direct in my favor. Due to my natural affinity and patience with infants and toddlers; My forte' for many years was just mainly those subjects. Soon after, I purchased my next SLR, N-80 and begun shooting weddings..lots of them. I was able to travel to amazing venues, and meet some even more amazing friends, watch the mother of the bride cry when they received their album. (now that was Inspiring). Third camera purchase was my Maymia 645 AFD (medium format), Talk about quality. I still love to shoot with that beast! Then I got down to the grit of things and taught myself custom matting and framing (and yes, I have many battle scars for proof ha!). Soon thereafter, I started progressing as a true Artist and enjoyed my passion for many years, as well as the capacity to learn in this ever changing industry.. After major life changes I laid down my cameras for years. After long lectures from supporters and loved ones, I took the plunge and transitioned into digital! Welcome, to the not so real world right?! Went on to make my fourth purchase which was a D200 DSLR, an IMAC, a MacBook Pro, and whalla, I was back on the scene. but knew I wanted to do something a little different. This time, it was my middle child, my son whom inspired me to start taking more sports photography and action shots. I was a speed roller skater growing up, but always hung around the other "skirts". Upon observing these tricks, and catching air..not to mention the fact these kids are taking architecture..making it there art canvas and creating something so epic I was mesmerized. Not to mention what these kids would do for me, just so I could get a shot, Speed, catching air, eating pavement, breaking bones..getting back up to do it again because they simply had respect but also a certain fear of this sport. that was it! I have since been hooked. My ultimate goal is to go into shorebreak photography. Or what I like to say rather is "when passion overcomes fear". The bottom line though, is that I enjoy all photography, all art...its all beautiful in its' own right and absolutely in the eye of the beholder. I love meeting with clients and going on their concepts for anything, in hopes of executing their ideas into a visual memory that last a lifetime!!! LOVE and PEACE----Natalie R. Hanna
