I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me throughout this new adventure. I know that I have not won an award and it may sound that way but I want to start out by thanking my husband. Late nights of editing, reading, purchases, shoots, get togethers, you have really been by my side with this and so understanding. I love you and Christopher both very much.
To both our families. Thank you for watching Christopher at times so that I could go to appointments that I may have. Also for letting me practice my photography on your children. Especially for the past get together that we had in here in June.
I wanted to talk about the group of people that have helped me with photography. I first started with a website called ilovephotography.com and found a ton of information there. I soon left that site because I found Wende Trew (the best mentor in the world) who has the kindest heart and is willing to share her knowledge. She created a board of her own and called it Secret Photo Club. I can not explain how much I have learned with this group of girls and how many new friends I have made. They are always willing to share. Most of them I have never met but hope that one day we can all attend a get together. To all of you, thank you so much for everything that you have taught me. YOU GIRLS ROCK!!! LOL
Check back in the next couple of days and I will be posting some pictures from our last training session together.
