I have been taking pictures for years, at least in the broad sense of the word - but only recently, have I appreciated the work that goes into a great shot...
In November 2009 I became inspired to actually take my efforts seriously. I finally bought my first DSLR! in my 2009 Black Friday adventures.

Being behind the lens really eases all the stress in my life. It's a way for me to convey my thoughts and feelings when I can't find the words. There are so many subliminal messages in an image if you just take the time to listen. Photography keeps me sane.

Everything I know about photography and editing has been self-taught/trial-and-error. I have spent many hours teaching myself through online tutorials, forums, a couple books, a few friends and through Flickr's amazing talented community. I still have so much to learn.

As for me - I'm 24, I'm a mother & lover of many things. I am a perpetual student one year from my Bachelor's degree!

MY EQUIPMENT:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
