I am a grateful, blessed mother of 5 and am proud to call my wonderful hubby my best friend! I have been a stay at home mom for 16 years now and love my job. I love to take pictures of my family and do so with my Sony A100. I have a 3.5-5.6/18-70, 4.5-5.6/75-300 and my newest lens is the 1.4/50. I do not do much editing, but hope to learn Photoshop and Lightroom in the near future. For now I am proud that I am shooting in manual much of the time! I am a true novice who is a bit intimidated to be here with this group, but I love to learn and appreciate the encouragement I experience here.Our family blog is Love Keeps Growing More Love. I recently began a photography blog called Moments in Time, where I hope to continue to share my love of photography with others.
