Photography

Photography never use to be a passion of mine, in fact, I never really cared to take a single picture. I'd snap photos here and there of random things going on in my life but didn't give photography a second thought.

Then I got pregnant, and then Laila was born, and oh my gosh, I knew I had to get a DSLR and capture every breath taking moment of my daughters life. I eventaully got one when she was maybe a month or two old.

My camera scared me, intrigued me, I wanted to learn more but at the same time, I was afraid to use it. What if I managed to break it, afterall, I am clumsy.

Anyways, there is always this huge huge part of me that wants to venture out with my camera and become something more, something greater with it. Maybe start a business? I always tell Justin, "I wish I could be a pro photographer and stay home"

I highly doubt I will ever get there because I am not that great! I try to read up but finding the time can be HARD. Ah, excuses are lame.

To help me learn, I started taking the Proud Photography Course. I originally saw it on DPS.com (which is an awesome sight, thanks Sonya!) I wanted to learn more and I love anything online. Buuttttt, I am only on lesson 1 and I joined MONTHS ago, I just haven't had the time. But now, you bet your butt, I am going to get learning with that class. And so far, I do love it. The site it easy to use and it's very informative. I just have to stick to my plan and finish it, especially since I did pay for it!

Lets hope I can stick to this, because I have a love for photography. I want to capture those beautiful moments in my life, in others lives. I just need to start small and stick to my class, oh, and get out there and take pictures!!

my dearest sister.

My sister is amazing, completely amazing and I can never quite express how much I miss her. How I just long to give her a huge hug and see her beautiful face everyday.

She's an amazing woman, an amazing photographer, an amazing sister with a heart filled with so much love to offer.

And she gives that love to Matt, my soon-to-be-brother-in-law!! Their ENGAGED!!!

Photo Shoot

Laila had a photo shoot with {shutter}mama a few days ago. I've known this girl since high school and she's freaking amazing. Not to mention, her daughter just melts my heart. So precious.

I love my sweetheart. Words won't ever be able to describe just how much.

She is my world.

Thank You, Sonya!!!
