I don't know that I can even begin to express how excited I am to be taking my hobby to the next level. I've loved taking pictures since I was a little kid.   I remember my first camera.  

When I was much younger my older sister was going off to Summer camp.  I wasn't old enough to go and my parents bought me a little 35mm camera to help appease me.   I remember sitting at the picnic table in my grandparents backyard when my mother handed me my present.  I don't remember my reaction but the love of taking pictures has been in me since.  Fast forward 30 years and I finally started to take this a little more seriously.   

The one thing that I enjoy most about photography is the ability to create what I want the way that I see it.  I don't expect to create the perfect photo.  (although it's great when it happens)  I just want to create the photo that makes my heart smile.  I don't want to be perfect.  I want to be creative.  

And we're off.  My photography journey.
