A Surprise...

You all know I got a new camera for Mother's Day! Well, you won't believe what happened to me.

First a little background info.

I don't know how many of you read Under the Sycamore, but a few years ago I met Ashley when she was in the full throws of her photography business and I was doing hair. We both worked the same wedding. Not too long after that she did some family photos for us, I have been a follower of her blog ever since. Admiring her photography talent. =) Last Wednesday I was patiently awaiting the arrival of my camera when I received the blast email from Ashley saying that she had an opening come available in her Saturday Snap Shop class! What an opportunity! I had been wanting to attend since the first class she had! I jumped at the chance to get to learn how to better use my new camera! 

What a blessing!

I thought I would share a few photos from the class and then a few I have taken since Saturday. 

If your not familiar with the class, Ashley teaches you to use your camera in manual and then you get a chance to use what you have learned in a photo shoot.

Onto the photos...

Could we have asked for a cuter subject to shoot?! I think not!

Ashley beautiful daughter!

The outdoor session...

And then a few I have taken since the class...

First we found a wild strawberry patch,

Then we cooked them up in the kitchen!

And our just for fun photo shoot =)

The plan is to keep practicing!
