If you are an aspiring photographer or even a mom who would like to save (or make a few) bucks on family photography, consider joining Clickin Moms which is a photography forum geared towards moms. I have been a member for about a year and a half and I've learned enough to take my photography from an interest in my DSLR to being able to subsidize my family's income.You must be familiar with Crissie by now... she is our FAB reader that is
always sharing the excess doublers she get's from her parents TVM route!
Today I want to feature Crissie in a guest post about her OTHER
passion... Photography. I purchased a DSLR last year (with my
stimulus $) and haven't regretted it since. It's so fun to use and
learn and I'm anxious to dive into this site and read all the tutorials and
forums!Now, "Welcome to the Fab Crissie!"
Just a few of the topics covered (shown in this screen shot):

Okay, Fabulessly Frugal Folks, I was the LUCKY winner of the photography package with Shandy Vogt Photography and I had already seen her work and I knew that I was in for a treat. However, I didn't know how much of a treat. Shandy was amazing. First off, she is so easy to work your schedule with. With 4 kids, I thought it was going to be crazy, but she was great with them. She gave my kids "jobs" of helping with bags, and picking out spots to take pictures, and she didn't laugh when my daughter sat in the middle of the parking lot to have her picture taken. She also had my VERY talkative 3 year old telling jokes each time we did family shots. It wasn't crazy like when you go to a portrait studio like JC Penney or Kiddie Kandids and they are very posed and the kids get cranky and it's not a fun time. We had a fun time doing the shoot and the end results we've seen so far, surpass what I would have hoped for. I'm very excited to get our pictures back!
