Presenting the new Canon Rebel T1i!!

I was recently blessed with the opportunity to buy my very first DSLR camera - a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. I've been dreaming of holding this camera in my hands for a while now - it seems surreal to actually be able to take a picture with it now! Anyway, I thought I would share some of the very first pictures I've taken today with this lovely little machine. I appreciate ANY and ALL feedback, positive or not! :) My goal is to LEARN LEARN LEARN for the next 30 plus years! :) ENJOY!!

Welcome to my photography blog!

And please contact me (scroll down for contact links) if you would like to try me out and have me take photos for you! I can shoot, edit, and give you a CD of your finished photos. I just ask permission to possibly use the best of your photos in my portfolio. Pricing is on an individual basis for now, until I gain more experience and confidence. You can start giving me confidence by leaving me some feedback on my pictures! :)

Why am I doing this?

I started this blog with the hope of refining and renewing my long lost interest in the arts. I grew up loving art. I remember I loved to draw back in grade school and high school. I have one particular memory of my 1st grade teacher calling me an "artEEst"!

For as long as I can remember I have also loved taking pictures. Then, in 2007, tragedy struck our family as I lost my 2nd son Shane at birth. However, inspiration also found its way in... A volunteer photographer came to the hospital when Shane was born. She was from an organization called "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep". She took pictures for us when Shane was born, as we held him and bonded with him, and as we said our final goodbyes to him. The photos she took are the only visual memories we now have of Shane. They are beautiful, beyond description. She not only gave us all the images, she gave us a slideshow, framed photos that she took, and brought all of these things to our home for us just days after we went home without him.

My Goal

Having this experience inspired me, and brought a new sense of purpose into my life. While I love taking pictures of anyone and anything, my ultimate goal is to become a volunteer photographer for this organization, so I can do for other people what our photographer Sue did for us. Pay it forward, in a sense. You can read more about this wonderful organization here - http://www.nilmdts.org/.
