My wife (Michelle) and I have sold our videography business and decided to go full time photography. We needed new toys for this and this is what we got(Nikon D80's). We ordered two of the same packages so that I wouldn't have to take the camera from her on those days that I work. We really love photography and Michelle is especially good at it. She will be coming out with a new website soon but for now you can check her out at Cinematic Beauty. She specializes in child photography but also does weddings, parties, Sweet Sixteens and anything else. Noe(Blue Hole Helicopters)and I are also venturing out into the world of aerial photography so stay tuned for another website I will be creating.
