What a world, what a world!

I am back from FPP school ( since i only live an hr away, I commuted all 5 days)...but WOW!

I have a whole binder full of new, exciting, and somewhat overwhelming notes, but I am really excited to be able to sit down and look these over and really work on the things I need to improve.

There are so many wonderful photographers there, many of whom I will keep in touch with and continue to learn from after the class. I just can't believe how much we learned in 5 days. At first it was hectic and crazy but it got better everyday and I really so very glad I went again.
Last year I took a portrait lighting class and while right now I do now have a studio....I never said never in that area. Right now, I do not plan on having one....but my mind changes everyday about may different things, so I can't say that I never will....just not at the moment.

The class with Mitche opened my eyes to a lot of stuff I may be missing or just not sure how to go about doing and I am excited to really work on these things.

1 thing left first though; VACATION!!!

My husband and I leave in 2 days to head to Miami and jump aboard Carnival Cruise Lines ship The Valor. (i said jump on...but i swear...we have tickets!) :)

We are very excited to be able to take a vacation and we are really looking forward to it and the places we are going to be able to go. First we head to Grand Caymans, then Honduras, then Belize, and then Cozumel Mexico. Its a 7 day cruise and we are so very excited. It can't come soon enough.

I promise though, as soon as I get back...the real changes will begin.....just not sure what will come first :)

Hope to see you all when I get back. Pictures will be posted of course~!!

Bon Voyage!

Me and 19 other former students were selected by a panel to be put in this show. I was excited, nervous, and honored to be in such a wonderful show with some really talented and wonderful photographers and friends.

I had a few friends come as well as my husband and It went really well. Of course I have photos of the event so check them out :)
