My Saturday afternoon was spent with two wonderful ladies who like myself, love photography and yearn to constantly learn.  We chatted about struggles and strengths which ranged from new techniques to finances to personalities. It was quite refreshing to see that we all have our struggles regardless of how long we have been in the business and that there are always things to be learned.  As a new photographer, I know I have a lot to learn, but lucky for me, I absolutely love to learn.  I am a student at heart and challenge myself daily.  This journey is a beautiful one and I am excited to know that I am not alone and that there is a world of supportive, enthusiastic and extremely talented photographers to guide me and challenge me. 

Instead of being behind the camera,  for once I was the subject...and I liked it!  I just love pictures and memories.  I think it is good to get in front of the camera and remind yourself that not everyone is comfortable being photographed, not everyone knows how to naturally pose or place their hands, some of us think far too much me included.  I find that my favorite pictures are candids, even of myself.  I love laughter, squinty eyes, huge smiles, natural expressions, and moments.

I truly had an amazing time networking with such wonderful ladies!  Their enthusiasm, phenomenal personalities and sense of community really resonated with me.  I consider myself blessed to have them in my life and I look forward to many more get togethers!  I am a friends kind of gal and with each new friend my happiness gauge gets higher!  You ladies rock! Thank you for inviting! 

Here are a few pictures that Cynthia from Cindy Cahoon Photography took of me this weekend!  Thank you pretty lady for sharing these with me!  I'm really happy there was snow on the ground and that I wore my blue pants!  Can't wait for next time!
