I'm free for one year starting today.

Had my first official photo shoot on Sunday afternoon.
I'm addicted.
I have committed to being free of charge for one year and to practice as much as I can in that one year.

I was SOOOO nervous this first time.
Like, so nervous.
Most of my nerves were before I got there but I had some during the session too.

I studied like a mad woman leading up to the time and that helped.
I have so much more to learn and I want to know it NOW!

Just getting out there and doing it was the only key to unlocking the nerves from my system.

I think out of 397 pictures we got two good ones...but they knew what they signed up for, so it's all good.

;-)

I'm continuing to take classes and I'm going to practice my little heart out.

Thanks Ben and Crystal for being my first victims!
I couldn't have chose a more laid back, fun group to start with.

I have three other families on the books....who's next!?

(these are not the final products, just the unedited versions, because I was a moron and ordered the wrong Photoshop...in the process of getting the MAC version because apparently Windows version doesn't work on Mac's ;-)
