Too Excited for Words

I cannot contain my excitement, so I must write an entry about this...

You already know (well, you should) that Tony got me my awesome camera for Mother's Day last year and since, at the time, I had a brand new baby and was getting used to now having two children instead of the one, I've just been piddling with it ever since.

Well, I am now ready to learn more about the actual art of photography. I've joined the Mission 24 blog on here and I've also joined a forum called Clickin Moms. Carrie told me to join that and I'm really learning a lot from reading what those girls do everyday. Not to mention how much I've learned from talking to Carrie about it everyday. I am so thankful to her and my friend, Amy, as they have definitely been my inspiration for wanting to turn this hobby of mine into something more.

NOW I am so happy to report that I have my FIRST photoshoot scheduled. My friend Michelle wants me to do boudoir shots of her for her husband for Valentine's Day. We're actually doing them the weekend after Valentine's Day, but they're still going to be his present.

My hope is that we will be able to do them without laughing. She's a person who laughs a lot and I know if she starts laughing, I'll start laughing and lord.. it could end up taking a while... LOL

I am so glad that we're doing it next weekend, though, and not this, because my new lens (that is actually my birthday present) is due to come in Friday. I ordered it last night and I am so super excited about it! I hope that I do a good job for her, because I know I'm going to be so scared of doing something to screw it all up! LOL

If there are any of them that she wouldn't care if the world saw, I'll post them, but odds are, she won't want me to post them, so the first shoot will probably be a secret. :)
