But that all changed when my Nikon came into my life. It certainly didn't turn me into an expert photographer, but at least Allie's face was no longer blurry in every picture I took.
This past Christmas my awesome mother in law bought me a fancy schmancy lens to go with my fancy schmancy camera. Upon recieving that I thought it was about time to REALLY learn how to use my new gear.
My good friend Heather told me about a Mommy DSLR class that a photographer she had used was teaching. I signed up ASAP and the class was fabulous! It was extremely hands on (which I think is a must when you are learning to use new equipment), organized and full of information that I both wanted and NEEDED. I still have to do a lot more practice to get more comfortable and quicker with my settings (I'm trying to shoot all in manual mode) but I think my pictures are already SOOOO much better than they were.
Here's the info if you are interested...

Jessica is a great teacher and I highly recommend her class
Here are some pictures that I took from class...
I still have a lot to learn and am constantly practicing but I have so much more confidence and am so much happier with the pictures I am taking!

Your photos look great!! I need to take that class to see if she can help me with an older camera or if I need to get a new one to get good shots. :)
That is amazing! My favorite is the pic of the little boy! Looks amazing!!! I do have to ask.. what lens did you get?! I LOVE my Nikon and the zoom lens I use the most but have looked into getting a new one!
