This Christmas to my utter surprise my parents bought me a Nikon D90. I have been into photography for years but always felt held back with the camera I used for lighting reasons as well as resolution. I found a way to make it work but I always 'dreamed' of having that SLR camera. So when my parents bought me this camera I damn near cried. It not only shows that they have faith in my ability but that they were supporting something I have been taking seriously for many years now. I suppose you could say they will be reaping the benefits and already have when I took mounds of photos of my nephew this past Christmas. Their first grandchild and I couldn't put him down.

Life is full of surprises and this surprise was the best of them all (minus my engagement )

I have done a few photos with my new camera and would enjoy your feedback. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the camera so my guess is it will take a year in order to get those truly professional shots. Point is we all need to start some where right .

Many thanks to my supporters. You have helped drive this passion father than I could have ever expected. My gratitude to you all is endless.

Sincerely yours,

Amanda
