I am a Mom to two beautiful girls and wife to a great husband. I have a passion for photography and want to help you conquer your fear of that DSLR. I remember the first time I held my shiny new camera in my hands and got immediately intimidated by all those buttons. I want to help you get over that, and get the great photographs that you want. I blog frequently about photography over at https://livesnapcreate.com/.
