Default Update on my first portrait shoot and a thank you

Okay, so many of you saw the photos on my 1,000th post...today I sent some into the local store to have printed just to hang on my wall. When I got there, they weren't going to give them to me until I got permission from the photographer as they would be copyrighted. I was shocked, but really happy to hear they thought they were professional. Not only that...but I got my first job out of it. The clerks daughter is having a baby soon and wants me to take photos of the baby afterwards.
So, I want once again to thank you all for your help along the way....giving me the courage to even try it once. I had almost resigned myself to taking flower shots the rest of my life. This site has helped me more than you will ever know...thanks to you all.
