Everyone who knows me will know how much I love to take photos. It doesn’t matter what I am doing, where I am or who I’m with, I will always have one of my camera’s on hand ready to get snapping.

It all started when my first son was born 11 and a half years ago. The only camera we had was an old style film camera, the type that you had to wind to get the camera ready to take another photo (think of those disposable ones). The quality was so bad, and I got really upset that the photos of my first born son weren’t clear, they were blurry and you could only get 12-36 prints to a roll of film. So I got myself my first digital camera and have never looked back, almost 12 years and 10 digital cameras later.

I never really got into the whole idea of ‘editing’ photos until this year. Photoshop is too complex for me, I leave that program to my Husband and I settle for a much easier ‘user friendly’ program to play with.

November 10 (4)I am lucky to have 5 absolutely gorgeous kiddies to model for me, they have been a great source for me to practice my photo taking skills. But I have felt lately that I am always wanting to take more photos, even after I have taken photos of my own family, I still want to take more. I love the whole idea of picking a setting, getting a group of people (a group of friends, a family big or small anyone really it doesn’t matter) together to take photos, make memories that they can keep forever.

My Husband recently took photos for my best friends wedding and I did the editing. They turned out really great and I am so grateful for the opportunity to capture their special day.

I am hoping for a great photographing year in 2011 with a couple of friends already asking me to take their family photos in the new year. Smile

We are also hoping to launch a website which will feature some of our photographs that we have taken so stay tuned.
