I am officially signed up for an online photography class<\/a> today! And not just any photography class. One that I am super excited about. It’s taught by my dear friend, Karen Russell. Okay, not my dear friend, but a blogger<\/a> that I’ve actually never met before. But because I keep up with her day-to-day life on her blog, I feel like we are buds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Each 8-week class she teaches has 100 openings – and when she opened registration today at 11AM, it filled up in FOUR MINUTES! But thanks to my lightning-fast typing skills, I got enrolled during those minutes. Kinda dorky, but my heart was pounding so hard while I typed! I guess that’s what it feels like to be competitive??? (I don’t have a competitive bone in my entire body.)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The class doesn’t start until January, unfortunately. But that’s okay, cause I don’t even own an appropriate camera right now. (But I’m working<\/a> on it!) I’m really looking forward to learning how to take some better shots of the fam.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Thought I’d share some of her photos. She has the cutest little girl that always reminds me of my daughter. (Wonder if there’s a lesson in the class on how to get your toddler to look at the camera and smile?) I think one of the reasons I find her so intriguing is that she is a self-taught photographer. Before that she was a self-taught designer. And before that she was a dental hygenist for 10 years! And this chick isn’t even that old. Pretty inspiring to come so far and find what it is that really makes you happy.<\/div>\n

Sidenote: I’ve had many friends discuss with me which camera is the right camera for them. Well, I have no idea, but this blog post<\/a> that Karen wrote is going to help me decide. Lots of money, so you better choose wisely!\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

So, until January, I apologize for the lack of skill in my photos. Know that they will get better!!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
