Stay at home mom of 2 beautiful little girls... three if you count our poodIe we got at Christmas ; )

I have always been interested in photography, but before the digital age it was a very unattainable interest. Now, though, with the help of a computer and a new camera, I can't wait to get started. I used to have a Minolta Dimage A200, but sold it to recover from the cost of my new baby... a Canon Rebel XTi (with kit 18-55mm) and a Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS lens. Wish I had more spare time to get the hang of it!!!

Hoping to get a closer lens soon (wideangle with macro capabilities), but as most of my photos are of my children playing sports or in our gi-normous backyard, the telephoto seemed the best choice to begin with.

I recently discovered Photoshop CS2 and all it's wonders. Found out about actions-- and while I hope my photos come out spectacular.... I am not against using them! Have Lightroom, but have barely begun figuring it out. I stay pretty busy, believe it or not!
