I AM DOING THIS!

"I was feeling isolated before the course, but I don't feel that way anymore. Before I would have been afraid to ask many questions - not anymore! I was terribly naïve about birth photography but I went from, "maybe I can't do this to I AM doing this!" You ladies are amazing and your friendship....thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
