A new member of the Alio team

Hello Internet!

Laura here, Guru's fiance. Although he did not introduce himself, he is the mastermind behind Alio Photography. He is great at taking pictures, but not used to the blogging world, so I'll be helping him write posts. He's actually at a photography club meeting this evening, hopefully when he returns he'll have some great new shots or ideas for shots!

Take a second to scroll down to see a slideshow of his favorite images so far... which will continue to grow :)

I'll end this post with a favorite shot of our good friends Hieu and Alice... don't they look sweet!

And so it begins...

I wasn't really sure where to start, or who to start with. All I knew was that I wanted something more than a point and shoot, and that I've always had an eye out for those digital SLRs. Debated a couple of days, and then somehow found myself holding a Nikon D5000. Haven't looked back since.

I took the camera out the next day, after letting it charge the night before, and decided to do a little research on what all the features meant. My fiancee agreed to let me take some practice shots and see how all this felt. I think she liked seeing me pretend to know what I'm doing.
