I'm a DPS noob

[vldecker]

Hey all, Just thought I'd jump in and introduce myself. My name is Valarie and I'm in the process of starting a business with my photography. I'm a stay at home mom to two little ones (2 yrs and 3 months). I have loved photography since I was a kid, got my first SLR in high school, had a couple courses in college and still love it. I'm glad digital has caught up with and surpassed film and I love to be able to do my own processing. I'm a member of other forums (mpix, ops and osp) but I don't participate much. I'm hoping to change that and get my 365 project going at the beginning of the year. If you want to check out my work, my site is Valarie Decker Photography (not had time to get the siggy up yet) and I guess that's about it.
