I have to admit, given your disclaimers (you're an amateur, surprised you were chosen, etc.), I wasn't expecting much, but WOW!! You're being much too modest, those are really beautiful I loved every one of them. Congratulations!!

Really great pictures. Love the one of the newborn and the bathtub.

Sister, the only reason you can call yourself an amateur is because you haven't yet asked someone to pay for a photo. You have a gift, truly. All of those photos are lovely, both technically and visually.

I'd pay you for a shoot and schlepp to LA if you could make me look that good!

Congratulations! I like the fishing boat on the water the best. The colors, the juxtaposition of the smooth sky and choppy waves, beautiful shot!

It's nice to have a hobby that I really enjoy and might actually have some talent with...I didn't really have anything like that for a long time after DS was born and it's nice to do something outside of my wife and mommy roles.

Seriously, this could be more than a hobby. Maybe something to consider in a few years when the DC are older. A friend of ours is a photographer, has his own studio and does head shots (we're in LA) and family shoots.

Yea.....um.....I guess my links aren't working becasue the links I cicked on had only professional photos. I didn't see the amateur photos. You truly are very gifted. You elicit such emotion from your photos.
