I want to be a photographer.

I am setting my new year’s resolution early.  I am going to be a photographer full time in 2013 if it’s the last thing that I do.  No more of this “working for the man” business.  It gets you know where.  I have been with the same company for 5 years and where I am?  Sitting at a desk wishing I was successful and happy.

I know what I want and I am pretty sure I know how to get it.  With time and drive I will succeed.  I want to be an out side the box portrait photographer,  I want to work with small businesses to update their photos for their web sites and I want to shoot food for menus.

I love food photography.  I think I love food photography more than I love food.  All things that you photograph are a memory but photographing food is a delicious memory, a memory that will make your mouth water, you remember the smell and sometimes you can remember the person that served it to you.

This is where I will start.

Hello, my name is Michaela Soderlund and I am a professional (food) photographer.

Just you wait and see.
