Every once in a while you get a great opportunity to take a fun trip, make some new friends, have some great food, and do what you to love to do. That was my weekend in Bethlehem, PA last week. I was blessed to spend time with a gifted teacher, to learn more about one of my very favorite past times: which is taking pictures of adorable children, special teenagers, and a fabulous Mom.

Lisa challenged me, and taught me some things I wasn't doing in manual. She encouraged me to shoot in RAW which I have been hesitant to do. She also shared some tricks, that I will keep in my pocket forever! Lastly, she taught me more about PhotoShop than I ever thought I would be able to absorb. It was a great weekend! And, I hope to have an opportunity like this again some day! For now, I will continue to challenge myself and my Nikon to work together!

Thanks again to Lisa, the Bethlehem group, and our fabulous models and their Mom's who brought them!! A special thank you to Heather for blessing me with your surprise visit! And to Jeff for making it happen! I loved every minute!
