Meet JACKSON!!!

this is our 10 yr old jack russell....jackson!(such a unique name, huh? lol) he was our "baby" before we had our babies!!! i can remember growing up, hearing people....but especially "old farmers".....say, "yeah....he shore is a good 'ol dog...." well.....i don't really consider myself old, but we are farmers, and yes....jackson is just a good 'ol dog. instead of a cat having 9 lives, THIS dog truly has had about 9 lives. ask anyone who knows us well :) he's been on his death bed at least 2 x.....and had what feels like a million other things go wrong! but.....he is still chuggin' along and is certainly a "good 'ol" dog. he lost his buddy this summer. he just hasn't been the same w/ out her :( BUT......i must admit.....he sure hasn't gotten into as much trouble as he used to!!! so....meet jackson :)

About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
