I am now a professional….well sort of

Okay, so I have some big news to share with all of my blog readers…all 10 of you. In my quest to become a legit photographer in my free time, I bought a Nikon professional DSLR camera! (side note: I, for sure, do not have time for this obsession because I really should be planning my wedding which is less than 4 months away…but alas I am easily distracted!)

I absolutely love taking pictures and I’ve wanted one forever…so I forked over the cash and bought it. Probably my most expensive purchase (other than my Jeep) to date. It was scary! It still is scary! And do I know how to use it you ask? Nope. I’ve taken probably 100 pictures by now so I know how to snap away, but I don’t really know how to use all the fancy gadgets and features. This is probably due to the fact that I haven’t bothered/had time to look at the manual. I plan on doing exactly that this weekend.

So look forward to some pictures in the near future once I’ve mastered my skills!
