Portrait or Personal Image - Eileen  Nelson


I have had a love for photography since I was very young. One of the earliest memories that I have is making cameras out of my legos. Go figure!! I started photography in high school with my first SLR (Pentax ME Super) camera. I loved that camera and kept it for 20 years until it broke and was unable to be fixed. I then purchased my first Canon Rebel EOS as a replacement. I was very skeptical about digital and it took a long time to convince me to switch. I decided to take a baby step and buy a point and shoot Canon which I still use when I don't want to bring my big camera around. I recently purchased the Canon EOS XTi and love it!!!

I have always been the resident photographer for family and friends. I usually don't go out without a camera since I might miss an opportunity to take a great shot!

Over the years people have expressed an interest in buying my work and it has only been over the past year that I have decided to show my work to the public. Many people have encouraged me to do more with my talent and that brings me to this point in my life.

I live with my husband and 3 children in Millis, Ma. They are my best advocates and encourage me to do more every day.


• OTHER TIDBITS

• I grew up in a family of eight children. I'm referred to as number 7 out of 8.
• My artistic flair comes from my mother who is an artist specializing in watercolors. She is also a seamstress who designs and creates wedding gowns. I can't sew a button or draw a straight line with a ruler!
• I'm a Virgo and oh yeah, so is my husband and 3 children.
• I'm a HUGE REDSOX fan and my favorite player is Jason Variteck
• I thrive on humor! I find it challenging to make people laugh.
