I finally found the nerve...

to sign up for a photography workshop! I am so excited! And nervous. And anxious. But you know, I am never going to continue to grow if I don't start putting myself out there. I am a self-taught photographer and I feel like I have reached a point where I don't know where else to go. And believe me, I know there is a LONG way to go. But I must turn elsewhere to get there.

I signed up for the online mentoring program being offered by Daniela Berkhout. It begins at the end of January and will last eight weeks. I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I'm especially excited about learning from her. When I first started to get serious about my photography, I found Two Peas in a Bucket, which is a photography board. It's also a scrapbooking board and I think that's how I first stumbled on it... Anyway, the first photographer that really jumped out at me was Daniela. I poured over her work, absolutely blown away by her talent and her captures. She is AMAZING. And her black/whites are gorgeous.

I can't tell you how much this means to me, to step out and try something new. To admit that I don't know LOTS. To meet new people and hopefully make some friends. And I love that this is happening in January. It's a good way to start off the new year.

Well, I can't help but share a photo before I go. This one didn't make the cut for my Photo of the Day Blog so I'll show it here instead! Why not? :) Such a cute little stinker of mine.

Literally. It was quite necessary to throw him in the tub mid-day. He's laughing at Emma in between blowing raspberries and spitting all over the joint. I'd say the tub is a good place for that! And when is this guy going to make an appointment with his barber?

Thanks for letting me share. Have a great weekend!
