So Excited!!!

I am so excited to share with you my next little adventure... I am officially enrolled in Maggie Holmes Beginner/Intermediate Photography Class! I normally shoot in Sports mode because I find that it gives me the best color without the flash and yet still has a fast shutter speed so only half of my pictures are of blurry moving children. But I will learn, in this 6 week class, how to shoot and be comfortable shooting in Manual. I am very excited to no longer have dark and flat pictures and I will be soaking up all of the information that I can from this class!
These are just some bits and pieces of Maggie's photos that I love! She finds the most colorful and texturally interesting places to shoot and I am currently on the lookout for great places and great props to use during my class...
And in order to be a better (or shall I say... better looking) photographer I ordered something that I have been wanting for quite a while now. This came last week...
My very own Jo Tote! If you have never heard of this before they are beautiful camera bags that are roomy enough for me to fit my purse stuff too. So I can basically take my good Canon with me all the time and look good doing it! The inside is customizable with velcro inserts and it is black and white damask, which I am so in love with right now! Here is my new bag in sugarplum...
I think that I am ready for my new class which starts in less than two weeks now. I am already figuring out places that I want to go and people that I want to shoot... I can't wait!

you're going to have so much fun and learn so much, in maggies class! she's just amazing! and such a cute camera bag. i was just looking into camera bags last week, and this was one i was checking out. i have a really nice and practical backpack style camera bag that is awesome. BUT. i don't like to take it most places, since it's not pretty and is bulky. i am really wanting something cute, that can act as my purse as well. i'm tired of missing out on photos, because i don't bring my camera with me, because i don't have a bag.
