The Beginning

. . . is a very good place to start, and this is my beginning - well, at the least the beginning of my "blogging"! Who would have thought????

I guess starting with this simple hello will do for now, and please know - exciting info will be here in the near future!

One EXCITING piece of news: I have officially begun the quest to be the ONLY Certified Professional Photographer in the Richmond/Rosenberg/Sugar Land/Needville/East Bernard/Stafford/Beasley/Damon/Guy/Fairchilds area! Which is nearly the whole county!

Why is this so exciting? Well, this certification comes from the oldest professional photographer's association in the world - PPA (aka - Professional Photographer's of America), and not just anyone can get it! You have to earn it. The requirements are strict: first, you submit your 20 image portfolio (which must met or exceed print competition standards), and you must pass a written exam. Once these are completed, you must not only maintain this level, but you must continue to grow professionally, artistically, and personally through periodic portfolio reviews and continuing education.

So, as soon as I receive the news that I have obtained certification, I will let you know!
