Getting in a Little Practice

I have always been fascinated with the art of photography.  I love that a camera simply captures a moment in our lives that we can forever hold onto.   I guess you could say it is a hobby of mine and I would love to get really good at.  So I am slowly learning the difference between f-stops, shutter speeds, all white balance, and different light sources.  I have a long ways to go before I'll be any good.  But some day I would love to know all the ins and outs of setting up and taking that "Perfect Picture".  Until then I have lots of practicing to do- so if any of you want to be my model I would love it!  I'm sure my kids will thank you.  Here are some of my favorites that I have taken lately.
