I have decided to undertake a new adventure that I have been dreaming about for a long time. I have always had a passion for photography and treasure all of the moments I have captured from high school, college, my family, and especially my kids. I have finally decided that I could probably be pretty good at it and even make some money.
Two weeks ago I bought my first professional digital SLR camera. I got a Canon EOS 30D and so far I'm loving it!! I have yet to figure out how to actually work all of the settings but will hopefully get it down soon. I am reading the manual as well as another book I bought specifically about this camera. I am also planning to take a few classes through Collin County Community College's Continuing Education programs. I took one of their classes earlier this year for a basic point and shoot camera and enjoyed it.
I have been extremely blessed in the fact that one of my good friends, who is a photographer, has taken me under her wing. Sharon with Brannick Photography is a great photographer and has taken all of our family's pictures since Preston was born. I will be forever grateful for all she is helping me with.

Also, Ken Birdsell, with The Image After, as been an awesome help. He has been in the photography business for a long time and is full of knowledge. I know with Sharon and Ken's help I will be sucsessfull!
John has been such a great supporting husband in this journey. He is so encouraging and is just as excited about it as I am. He motivates me to learn all I can and is truly my number one supporter. I couldn't ask for a better husband!!
I am very nervous as I have never started anything like this and it can be very overwhelming. I am starting a separate blog just for my photography. I will hopefully start posting to it soon as I am learning and getting things off the ground.

Oh, wow! What exciting news! (btw, I found your blog recently, so I'm now following it :) )
It's so funny you're talking about all of this - over the last few days, I've been telling Richard that I think I'd like to take some photography classes at CCCC - we have a pretty nice camera that does a lot - I just don't know how to use everything! Anyway, have you signed up for classes? Maybe we could go together or something!
