Em!ly Hendr!x

Hi! I'm Emily Yvonne Hendrix. Most of my friends call me "Em."

I entered this world on September 14th, 1996. I am a home educated teen Rebelutionary. God saw fit for me to be an only child yet I've always dreamed of having an older brother to look up to and a younger sister to take care of. My eyes are deep brown and my hair is auburn-brown, I am 5' 7" tall and I have never been to the doctor (except when I was born). I am related to President Adams. I very often get lost in thought, but I joke around too much for most people to notice.

My hobbies are photography, music and dancing. I play the piano, guitar, violin, ukulele, mandolin and attempt to play whatever else I can get my hands on. I like cats, ice skating, red hair, freckles, the color blue, Doctor Who, Star Trek, musicals, Calvin & Hobbes, chinchillas, classical music, snakes, electronics, Super Mario Bros, Kingdom Hearts, Minecraft, reading, writing, origami, art, volleyball, tennis, soccer, landscaping, composing music, sewing, quilting, cooking

My motto is "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4.13) and Soli Deo Gloria - Do all things to the glory of God.

I dislike country music, sharks and Swiss cheese.

My Photography Journey

I've taken pictures ever since I could hold a camera, but really got interested in photography around ehh.. 2008. Late 2010, I had a photography drought but got re-inspired by Snap of the Shutter in mid-2011. I've since picked up my camera and never looked back. I am currently taking a photography course through the New York Institute of Photography (NYIP), and love it!

My desire is to capture God's creation and special moments in our lives.
I am a credentialed photojournalist for the PhotoWorld Magazine (NYIP e-zine/newsletter) and have been the Club Photographer for the Generation Joshua Club of Paducah and Club Reporter for the Geology Rocks! 4-H Club of Crittenden County. I love what I do! :)
I think cameras are a gift from God; why else would he want us to take pictures but to show His beauty to others and share about Him? Do all to the glory of God - Soli Deo Gloria!

-Sony Alpha33 camera body

-Sony 18-55mm lens

-Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens
