Dancing With the Stars!

So as you all may know I'm a huge fan of Dancing with the Stars. So I was thrilled when once again Brandon Halleck asked me to be a part of Terre Haute's Dancing With the Stars!! My good friend Amy and I took pictures at the event and had a marvelous time. It's so fun to get all prettied up and go out with our husbands sans children. We love our kids don't get me wrong, but anyone who has kids knows that as much as you need them around, you need your away time as well.

It was a wonderful night and there was over $103,000 raised for Indiana Chances for Youth. It was so awesome to see so many people come out for the event. And of course I'm HUGE fan on dancing which I did take a small break from pictures to do just that. The band Shoes and Strings was there and they completely rocked!! The evening was a total success!!

I just adore taking pictures. Outside of hair it's my favorite thing to do. Am I professional? No. Will I ever be? Heck no, but it does save a ton of money to do them yourself. I love visually documenting our lives. But after seeing the pictures I took for DWTS, I realized it's time to upgrade cameras. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my Nikon, but I'm realize the more I get into taking pictures that I need more options. I can't go wrong taking outdoor pictures but indoor pictures are hard to balance the lighting. So I'm ready to move on up. So I think I'm going to sell my Nikon. I have a Nikon D40 with a 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens, two batteries, two memory cards, an external flash and a carrying case. I'm thinking of selling the whole bundle for $750 which is a good deal since I paid over $1000 just last year. We shall see. Even if it doesn't sell right away I'm going to keep on snappin away!!
