I was lucky enough to grab a guy who placed the same priority on that. </div><br /><div><div><div><div>Well, here I am almost 10 years later,<br />and next year my youngest baby will go to school, <em>everyday. </em></div><br /><div>I have had the opportunity to work from home almost the entire time. I have been thinking that pretty soon I will have a new opportunity to work <em>outside</em> of the home. </div><br /><div>My first priority will always be to my family, but I also want the freedom to nurture a small dream that has been growing. I want to start laying the groundwork for something that has been close to <em>my</em> heart for as long as I can remember.<br /></div><div>Capturing on film, a moment, a giggle, an emotion... </div><div>Preserving life's memories as we walk through this lifetime. </div><br /><div>So, here I will post my latest attempts at "perfecting" my craft. I welcome your comments and critiques. The following are friends that were kind enough to let me practice on them or their children. Thank you to all! </div><br /><div>The lovely Wilson gals...<br /><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262242620483184066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand;
