And I am LOVING it. I am the happiest and most free when I am walking around with my camera on my face. When I am taking pictures I feel like myself again, finally! I have moments where I get overwhelmed because there is so much to learn but most of the time I just enjoy it. Any time I am bored at work, which is pretty much all the time, I read photography blogs or search for inspirational photos. It is so nice to have something I am proud of again. Work drains me because I dislike my job and feel so worthless so it's nice to feel like I have accomplished something at the end of the day. I have posted some pictures on twitter and on Digital Photography School and have gotten some amazing feedback. My confidence is building and my passion is overflowing.
I also have to send a HUGE thank you to Rachel for helping me get started! She is an amazing photographer and took time out of her busy schedule to help me out. Rachel, I don't think you will ever know how much you did for me.
So! Here are some of my favorite photos so far.

Oh I adore this post, and you. I'm so happy I was able to help you!! I'm always up for a photog chat session, so whenever you have any questions, make sure you find me! The photos above are absoloutely wonderful, you definitely have an eye!!
Looking fabulous - the pup, oh, lighting is just amazing. I can't wait to teach myself some more - being around my brother's Canon all weekend has made me twitching with anticipation.. my Nikon is due in a few weeks and I CAN'T WAIT! ;)
It's an awesome hobby to have and I love your pics.
Oh my gosh ... those photos are so gorgeous! I'm so glad I found your blog. I bought a digital camera earlier this year and have been trying to figure out how to use it, but I'm nowhere near taking actual "photographs." These are stunning. I can't wait to see more!
