My New Hobby/Passion

okay so i had a hard time posting "passion" on the heading of this because to me i have always felt my true passion is my husband and kids. But this is becoming more and more important to me(still not sure if i should go so far as to say passion though) and i really want to explore all the possibilities. Some of you may know that last year for my birthday and mothers day plus with some money i had saved i finally bought my new camera-- it is a nikon D80.... I love it and have had a lot of fun with it my family have been really good sports about posing and getting use to me with my camera at the ready :). I have thought for a while i really could capture some good pictures if i had a camera and a little know how. So i am going to post some of the pics i have taken with my camera. Some of my family and some of people who have asked me to take their family pics. Just so you know, when i am taking pictures of other families i really try to make it about them and fun, because everyone knows pictures usually arent the best of times. I remember when my older kids were little, we would schedule a photo shoot and Penneys or Kiddie Kandids, well by the time we got there i was so mad because someone had fallen asleep or messed up there hair that i ended up yelling at them and then as soon as we were suppose to take our pictures i expected everyone to smile big and say Cheese!!! I wonder why they never turned out that great....HHHMMMMM. So i try to make it fun for the kids and easier on the adults. Heres how some of them turned out. Hope you like them..
