Hi everyone... I been lurking here for a few days and love it :)
My name is Loana I am a 27 year old mom of 3 boys aged (4), (2), and (1)

been married for a bit over 7 years!
Anyhow I am a scrapbooker and with that I learn to appreciate photography a bit more... when I had my second child I really started trying the home shoot kind of deal for him... with my powershot A75 canon ;) I started getting a lot more interested in photography so hubby agreed to buy me the Canon rebel xt in late July... I have the basic kit ense and the 50mm 1.8 which I love and rarely use the basic one

I am trying to learn as much as I can everyday when the kids allow me, hehe ... I also try to shoot in manual about 85% of the time!
I still need to buy a flash and start buying the studio stuff slowly..I have a place to set up my studio but I need to buy it slow as I am not wanting to charge the credit card.
I just did my first shoot for a customer this past saturday (quinceañera)and boy was that hard LOL.... really bad light at their backyard at nigth and just my dinky camera flash.. the DJ did not help with all those lights and smoke he kept putting out LOL
I have a newborn session coming up in November as well... the C-section is schedule for the 14th.. and I have a birth picture deal for sometime in February!
anyhow looking forward to meeting you all!!!!
Loana
