Well, I am brand new here and this is my first post. This thread is very inspirational and I have loved reading all of your stories! As to the reason I take photos, it started when my little boy who is now 7, was born. My husband and I had tried for 7 years to have a child and we were told we would never be able to have children of our own. I won't go into all the details of what we went through, but after a ton of prayers from us, our friends and family, as well as our church family, I became pregnant with my miracle little boy! When he was born I wanted to photograph every single moment of his life! That is when it happened.... the world as I knew it completely changed for me. I began to see the world in a totally different and new way and I was hooked. I now do not go anywhere without my camera. I also suffer from depression and I feel that God not only gave me my beautiful son but at the same time the gift of photography. These two things have brought me more joy in the past 7 years than I have had in my entire life! I now take photographs because I don't want to forget a single moment of my son's life or mine!
