A lot of hidden passion goes a long way.

My husband was given a professional DSLR camera, and I was instantly hooked trying to figure out exactly how to get the perfect image - exposure, focus, etc.  I am a Virgo so anal is a nice way of describing my need for perfection. The quality of my images was/is the most important part of my pictures and as I learned how to get that down, the rest just fell into place

I have always loved pictures and documenting even the smallest events so I took that passion and completely immersed myself into the world of photography. I read countless books, joined several online photography groups, bought new lenses and equipment and read a gazillion websites while disecting every part of my pictures. I was in love.

And now that I feel like I have read and taught myself all I can, I get to go to Chicago in May (with one of my best college friends :) to a workshop put on by one of the most AMAZING photographers I have seen. Check her out at  www.alwphotography.com - her blog shows even more of her beautiful images.

I'm so excited I can't contain myself. This is the perfect way to better my business and most importantly my images I offer you. The images this lady does has such "pop" and they are so beautiful.

I am loving how Pickles to Giggles Photography is taking off and more than that, I love how much I LOVE doing what I do. I'm really excited to be starting out, but along the way I have asked myself and God many times if this is what I am supposed to be doing, and He shows me many signs, such as an e-mail like this...

Jennifer - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sneak peek and can't wait to see the rest.  Wow.  Absolutely great.

And then I get my answer.
