As I mentioned earlier I took an amateur photography class on Saturday. I have a middle of the line camera, it gets the job done but doesn't deliver like DSLR's. I hope to one day buy a DSLR but it will be awhile so for now I will make do. Anyways, I went to this class confident and left realizing that I know nothing about actual "photography." My head is still spinning and I'm still trying to make heads and tails of my notes, I think I need to read the owners manual again and then start practicing. I did sit next to a very nice girl who has a 9 mos old and 2 year old and we talked alot, so hopefully I made a new friend, I'm always looking to make new ones!
I'm really fortunate because Jason and I decided early on the photography would be our splurge on the kids. We knew we wanted to do maternity pictures, well I knew I wanted to do them and given I was waddling around with his almost 10lb baby, he wanted them too. So I found a photographer and since have become slightly obsessed with her. Erin Johnson some how captures every emotion that I feel in her pictures. I sometimes think that I will never be able to put into words how much I love Augie and Addie but when I look at the pictures that she has taken I feel like she has frozen my love for them in each photograph.
So I have ended my weekend realizing that photography will just be something that I enjoy but definitely never my career. Going to the workshop inspired me to find some more classes to take, I think next up will be a sewing class!
PS: make sure to check out Erin's Website, she really is fantastic both as a person and a photographer!

your words gave me chills and may possibly be some of the kindest thing anyone has ever said about my work. I am so so fortunate to have met you and your beautiful babies. It has been an honor to be able to capture them!
