** New News!! As of February 2011 I got my 1st DSLR - a Canon 7D. It's taken some time to learn how to use it (still learning!) but it's getting more comfortable every time I shoot with it. :) **

I didn't know that I was a photographer until I started taking pictures with my iPhone. I’d been taking family snapshots my whole life with a point and shoot camera but it never ignited any creative passion in me. I’m grateful for how photography has enriched my life and my mothering.
