Happy 2nd Birthday Miller Boys!

Will and Bruce celebrate their second birthdays today! They have grown up so much, even since my visit last November. They are constantly talking and are on the go-- they are curious little guys- especially when it comes to exploring outside.... and they just love books!! Keeping up with these boys will wear you out... and Lexi agrees! Here's a few favorites from my recent visit... Happy Birthday!!

503 Online Photography Workshop

I just finished a FABULOUS six week on-line photography course and wanted to share some of my favorites images... and give a shout out to Jessica and her AWESOME workshop! I learned so much in such a short amount of time! Jessica does an amazing job of providing each of her students with personal feedback with regard to their assignment and photography questions. She designs the assignments so that they are differentiated to meet the varying needs of her students... with regard to their equipment, their background and experience, their time commitment, etc. I am so much more comfortable with my camera and lenses and my understanding of photography grew exponentially as a result of her lessons, feedback, and the design of her online forum.

Starting the workshop in the dead of winter was not an easy task, but it gave me some motivation to get out there and capture winter at its best, even if my fingers were frozen and I was bundled in a ton of layers! The class focused on lighting, composition, post-processing, exposure, metering, shutter speeds, white balance, focus, and much more... I can't wait till spring arrives, so I can spend more time capturing shots with my new camera and lens without the hat, gloves, scarves, snow pants, boots, sweaters.....

I look forward to continuing to grow through the online forum set up for past students as a way to keep in touch and keep the creative juices flowing.... thanks, Jessica, for providing a fast paced, jam packed full-of-valuable-knowledge-workshop that stretched me to become a better photographer...
