I've always loved photographs and the emotions they evoke. I started taking more photos and taking more care with them after my first child was born. When my Mom died, in 2008, I bought elements and haven't stopped since! I am in love with photo editing and am trying to learn all that I can about photography. I'm definitely an amateur but am enjoying the journey as I learn, explore and grow! I've never met a photograph I didn't want to fiddle around with! It has become an addiction, I'm afraid.
