I have always LOVED pictures and wished that I was able to take some better pictures. My best friend, Jules, got a new camera for graduation and took some amazing pictures for us, like these maternity shots, and that got me interested in it even more.
After reading through a friend's blog and seeing her amazing pictures I asked her for some tips and tricks. She was so helpful and gave me a huge list of resources to check out. I started with this 12 week tutorial and I have been amazed with what I've learned already. It's been a lot of fun and getting into it makes me just want to learn more and more. It's so much fun to take pictures of J and capture those sweet laughs.

I started learning about aperture, which is how you get those cool blurry backgrounds and practiced in the backyard on this little bird that is normally in our kitchen.
The first picture was shot with f 5.0, the second with f 9.0 and the last f 36. You can see the higher the f stop value, the more things in the picture that are in focus.
The next lesson was on shutter speed, which is basically how quickly the camera takes the shot.

The faster the shutter speed the more the camera is able to freeze the motion and catch detail. Pretty cool huh?
With a little photo skills:

I'm really excited to keep learning.
