Jennifer Ciuchta's photostream  

My Name is Jenn. I am basically a stay at home Mom. I work 2 hours a day as a lunch lady at the local elementary school that my 9 year old son, Patrick attends. I love it! It gets me out of the house for a bit and a little bit of money to put into my photography!
I've been interested in photography for as long as I can remember. I can remember, and I'm sure my Mom still has the pictures, posing my brothers in the front yard of our home and children to take portraits of them to use as a calander for a gift for my Mom.
The door to photography really opened for me when my son was born and I went and bought my first Digital Camera in 1999.
About a year ago I made the switch from Canon Point and Shoots to Nikon DSLRs. What an amazing difference it has made!
I'm currently taking the at home study program through NYIP because I love to learn everything I possibly can about photography and there is just SO much more out there for me to learn!!
My son, who I mentioned prior, loves to come out to photgraph with me as well. I used to let him use my first SLR, the Nikon D50 but he had issues with having to give it back at the end of the day. For his most recent birthday this past October my parents bought him a Nikon Coolpix. I love watching him take it around the yard to shoot!!!
While looking at my photostream, if you could offer any useful advice, critiques or suggestions I would grately appreciate it!!
I prefer shooting portraits over anything else but you'll see other things pop up on occassion as well :)
Thanks for taking the time to look and I hope you enjoy my work!!
