So, after Parker was born, Jared was kind enough to agree to let us invest in a DSLR. Rather than doing everything for you, it allows you more creative freedom with its manual controls, better lenses, depth of field and better shutter speed. About a year after we bought the camera, I had a lesson on how to use it. Lisa, who has taken Parker's photos, let me borrow a book which was really insightful. Scott Kelby makes complicated things easy and fun to read - great author for beginning photographers. During my lesson, the instructor suggested a different lens. THEN came my Christmas bonus, and I was able to get it. I have been doing a lot of practice and have had a follow up lesson with my instructor/mentor.
I have started a blog to chronicle some of my pictures. I welcome you to follow it and give me your feedback. Feedback and constructive criticism can only make me better. In the long run, I hope that this is something I can pursue part time as a hobby and possibly to help support our family. I would love to target my audience towards police, firefighters, teachers and social workers making portrait photography more available and more affordable for them. Check out my new blog here - Sandi's Snapshots.
Let me know if I can take some pictures of you and your family and friends.
