My hobby through a lense

So I have decided to get brave recently and start getting more serious about taking pictures. I guess I have always been the type that thrives off of others smiles and seeing something I do making them happy. I LOVE compliments (who doesn't) and being able to learn and grow with my hobbies. Photography gives me all that. I love being able to offer something to friends, family, and soon-to-be friends that I can also get something out of as much as they are. I am definitely not perfect at it but I love that I can strive to be! Not only do I love the people but I love to hold the tiny baby, and the little buddies hand. I get to experience something different every time!
I am recently working on creating a backdrop stand and I am so excited to see a dream become a reality! Jordan has also agreed to help me build my stand (big mistake!?), what a stud! My husband has been so good to let me take over the downstairs with all my "junk" and collections that make my pictures beautiful. I must say, my husband is pretty great in being supportive. Even when I've got some crazy idea or am discussing something not too interesting, to him at least, I know he listens and I know he's got my back. And he also comes with opinions and advice!
I am always on the hunt for fun props and backdrops and "secret" locations for pictures. It makes it almost a treasure hunt for me and I must admit that I get a thrill and rush of adrenaline after finding the goodie I was after, or sometimes the ones I wasn't.
