Photography class!

I have always loved photography and admired the work of people like my Aunt Grace, and my friends Shay and Rebekah.
When we had Madeleine I decided that I really wanted to learn more about photography with the hope that I could artistically capture and treasure the many fleeting baby moments that I never want to forget!  I started by doing my research on a good starter SLR camera and have happily been working with my Canon Rebel Xsi for a few months now.  I have been taking a photography class at the local community college and learning about aperture, shutter speed, exposure and the many other basic science stuff behind a good picture.  I have so much to learn and I am really loving it.  Here are just a few photos taken as homework assignments for my class.
