How To Use My Canon T3i
Last week I mentioned here that I had gotten myself a new camera as a "happy birthday to me" gift.
It is a purchase I had been wanting to make for quite some time but just never allowed myself to go for it.
After doing a little research and asking a few other bloggers what camera they use+love I finally made my decision:
Besides being a total amateur and having lots to still figure out, I'm in love. Best. Purchase. EVER.
Post college I decided to deactivate my Facebook account [say what?!] which is the main reason I started Eclectic Snapshots.
It was a way for friends and family to see what was going on in my life.
Overtime there has been fewer and fewer posts of 'my life' and I've decided that with a new year it's time to get back to the basics.
So here is what I hope to be the first of many posts that will give you a peek into my life. A Girl Behind the Blog post, if you will.
To get started I wanted to share a few of my favorite moments captured over the holidays:

Until then you'll have to overlook any photos that make you say 'what was she doing?!' or 'oh, my, that's just terrible!'.
And if any of you with a dslr camera know of any great tips, classes, or books I'd love any and all advise!
