I first found out about LivingInHD.com when I was hired to be the community manager! I was definitely thrilled to be a part of such a reputable quality brand's initiative to teach consumers the ins and outs of HD products. I knew I wasn't the most knowledgeable and had a lot to learn myself!

Catching a beautiful moment through photos. Sometimes I look at a photograph and I just sit there in awe. It's crazy that just one image can tell a whole story, and I'm inspired by that. I like that I can capture history in photography. Documenting my daughter as she grows up is extremely important to me as she is growing too fast for words!

That's a tough one! But I'd have to say the one entitled "Sanctuary." Just looking at it makes me feel at ease (hence the name).

Test, test, test. I feel like I learn something new with each picture I take. Test lighting, test subjects, test editing effects - try it all until you find the different ways that work for you. You'll find new tricks that make your pictures look the way you want them to.

I've always had an interest in photography, but never had the camera to do it. In becoming an LiHD Family, I received a Panasonic G1 camera and since then, the photographer has come out in me. I've taken an interest in photography and try to take photos as much as I can. I'd like to take more formal classes to get the most out of the camera (when I have time of course) but in the meantime, I love that this camera can make me feel like a semi-pro and that I've been able to take photos that I feel proud enough to frame and keep. Someone even asked me to photograph their wedding recently! Although I don't think I'm anywhere near the level to be doing that, I'm happy to say that Panasonic has truly made a difference in my life and the way I capture the important moments.
