An Old Passion Reignited...

I'm a week late posting this but for good reason.  I've taken up a new hobby, well, it's not all that new actually.  I was given a camera at the age of 5 but was never really taught the ins and outs of photography.  I've ALWAYS LOVED taking pictures, but they never quite turned out how I hoped.  In January, I FINALLY bought a digital camera before my big trip to India.  That's where my passion for photography was re-ignited.  
I've also been blessed with a roomie that knows exactly what she's doing when it comes to taking photos.  She happens to do it on the side as a hobby/business.  I've learned a LOT from her this past year just watching her and seeing the different angles, learning the 3/4's rule, etc.  I wanted her to come out and take pictures of Amy and the girls...she said "Alecia, you totally have the eye and technique, you just need to borrow my camera!"  So, she graciously entrusted me with her VERY expensive camera to shoot some pics of the girls.  
We headed out to Woodward Park and I was snapping away.
"Now, why does that make you take a long time to post?!?!" you ask.  
Well, Andreia (the roomie) has also been teaching me how to edit photos with photoshop.  I've been editing a few pictures every night. 
Here are just a few of my favorite girls in photos:
