I have loved photographs and taking photographs forEVER! I bought my first camera, a Kodak Colorburst 250, when I was 8. Photography was my hobby, and then I became a mom <3 ...and then a first grade teacher when my younger daughter turned 5. I totally got out all of my creative energy working with my firsties, but still took occasional pics for student portfolios. When I left the classroom and went to part-time teaching, I needed something to replace the creativity that I left behind in the classroom. I found it again with photography. So, here I am, absolutely LOVING IT!
