It was finally time for the workshop at Sierra Vista!  As I pulled in, I made sure that I didn’t embarrass myself with my parking job (If you know me, you know I CANNOT possibly do ONE good parking job). I saw a smiling face, and said Hello! Gay responded and asked what camera I […]

I started my business after getting my first DSLR camera as a wedding gift — I knew next to nothing about photography, but I loved it.

In the beginning, I was afraid to tell anyone that I was starting a photography business. I thought they wouldn’t take me seriously, and might even make fun of me.
