Way back in 2011 my darling husband surprised me with a SLR camera for our anniversary. I was more than thrilled and did all sorts of research / practice. I was getting pretty good ... then life with two, then three, kids took over and my camera was put on the back burner :) I still used it (ALOT), but it was always in automatic mode. This fall I decided to try rectify that and re-learn what I had learned three years ago. My aunt is a pretty fantastic photographer and teacher ... so she has combined her two talents and started teaching photography classes. My sister Vicki and a good friend of mine all signed up and made the trek down to Burlington on four Thursday evenings (one in the midst of a scary snow storm). For the first three weeks we had homework - it's been a while since I've had to deal with that!! It was fun homework, though - lots of picture-taking practice playing with aperture, ISO, shutter speed and composition. I will spare you the majority of the pictures (over 500) and only show the ones that involve my incredibly sweet children.

A few fun ones (I was going for colourful ... the kids' really enjoyed helping out for this one!) Can you see Seth, Maddy or Kiera??
Overall it was a great course. I learned a lot ... now to keep on practicing! I've hardly taken out my camera since the course ended :( I really want to get ready for the new baby photo shoot!!
