first of many

This is my first post on my new blog, I've been thinking about this for awhile now and my photography business has slowed down enough for me to finally sit down and write:-) I had the idea for this blog because so many people comment on our family photos and how nice they always are, and I feel like anyone can achieve beautiful family photos!! So, I'm going to make this an everything blog of sorts, with room for others to contribute if I get creative enough with my ideas.
I am always thinking of capturing our memories with our kids, you know what I'm talking about if you have them, but this is also for the people that are single or if it's just you and your significant other:-) I sometimes wish that Tay(my hubby) and I had more pictures of the two of us while we were dating and all the fun things we did, or more photos of our first year as a married couple. Obviously we can't turn back time, so now I try to make the most of capturing our kids and us too! I also know that not every single second can or should be documented, there is a balance like everything in this world, so figuring out where to draw the line between total fun and total annoyance is key. Being a photographer I don't always notice that line but I try.
I will touch on things like, using the settings on your point and shoot camera to their true potential, while still being very user friendly. Getting the most out of the light around you. How to use a myriad of online photo websites that you can make prints from or order your family x-mas cards. How to back up and store your digital files, I may get someones elses take on this, I need a little help in this area myself:-) Just to name a few things that have popped into my brain. You will have to bare with me at first, I have not written in awhile so I'm VERY sorry if it seems I go in circles, also, you should know I'm a horrible speller.
I hope that some of you will find the info I will post helpful, and I will always be open for ideas on different subjects. I am really excited about this and hope you'll follow my blog, if only to give me feed back on my poor writing skills, gosh I'm rusty. Also, along the way their may be some fun giveaways, you just never know when I will be feeling generous! Hope to hear your comments!
