…with hope. I know it has been a little quiet around here. Well, I am not that well known around the Phoenix area (yet); the competition is large. There are some really good photographers out there like my friend Erin.
In the meantime I have been learning — a lot. I am also planning on getting my professional license to set myself a little apart from others. Did you know that only 8% percent of portrait photographers have their professional license? Well, that spurs me on.
I do have a photo shoot on Saturday — building my portfolio. I ordered some gear from Lastolite – I am very excited about the Tri-Reflectors (they will be here for my shoot on Saturday – yeah!!!). Thankfully I still have a full-time job to fund my photography 
…
I do want to share a portrait I took a couple of weeks ago at a Multi-Cultural Festival in a neighboring city. I am planning having a large print for your home. Let me know what you think:
Hopefully next week I have some photos to share from my shoot on Saturday. I will be out at Superstition Mountain Museum 
.
Until then…Toddles,
Iris
I love this picture, makes me wonder what she is thinking!
