Hi Jodi!! My user name in Clickin Moms is Judiejaz. I have been a member for a little over a month now and I love the site. I am a newbie and find that Clickin Moms shares a plethora of information and resources that can help anyone from one person just picking up a camera for the first time to Pro-photographers. I have learned so much about all the basics from understanding aperture and composition to lighting and post processing!! I absolutely love this site and will always recommend it to anyone!!
I have just joined Clickin Moms (have been meaning to for weeks so this spurred me on!). My username is sunnyroadmum, I have been a member for a few minutes now

My username is Kristens and I have been a member for about 8 or so months!! I absoultly love this little photo community!!! They have given me so much advice and helped me understand things that I just couldn’t put my hands on. The best thing is it feels like a big group of friends that all have a lot in common.
Hi! My username on ClickinMoms is aimee_lashley and I joined a little over a month ago after reading about them on your blog.

I LOVE that the forum is full of other moms like me wanting to learn more about photography.
My username is melty7311 and I have been a member since the beginning of Spring this year (right before Easter).

Plus everyone is sooooo nice! It feels like my own personal photography sorority.

Great contest! I’m jenn7 at clickin moms and I’ve only been a member since May. I’ve already learned so much there and have so much fun seeing everything that can be done with photos. Everyone is so friendly and willing to help. I’ve not found another place like it!
My name at clickinmoms is robynld and I have been a member for about 5 months. I admit I lurk more than I post because I am sooo amateur and don’t feel like I have much to add. But, it has been such a good resource for me to learn from and hopefully one day I will feel like I can help someone else! Seeing how knowledgeable everyone is makes me want to challenge myself to learn more.

Hi I am emphotography@clickin moms, I have been there about a year and a half, I can’t tell you how much valuable information I have learned to better my photography, and everyone is so friendly and polite, and giving! There are way to many things to pick one favorite, it might be the free downloads people share, the great vendor’s that offer awesome group buys or just the good honest CC that bumps my photography the next notch, or just to good OT chat! It’s just a great place all around!
My username is Lyndsaymel. I have been a member for 5 months (since Feb. 2009). I am looking for wedding editting inspiration today at CM.

I've learned so much about photoshop... it's simply priceless for me, since i"m in the stage of motherhood with little, little ones and formal training is out of the question. I LOVE how supportive everyone is... and with the exception of one or two people, I really, really value the opinions I've seen there. : ) I can't thank you enough for turning me onto this!]

) who are so willing to share their expertise, or even just their opinions, without being critical or harsh. I can’t believe how much my photography has progressed in the year+ that I have been a member. I’m so thankful for the site and to Kendra who keeps it all going!

I haven’t been on a long time, but I have to say that I belong to other photography forum websites, but this is my number one now. I really have received great feedback whenever I have posted.
User name: shotsbysheryl
I’ve been a member at clickinmoms for almost 2 months.
I’m hoping to learn how to improve my photography skills. I’m not an expert or a professional photographer. I just want my photos to look like that way. I am also hoping to learn about photography equipment, the good brands and products as well as those I should avoid. Clickinmoms has already been a great inspiration to me. I’ve seen tons of images that have given me lots of ideas. I’ve also learned of some great photography products from the vendors (like mcp actions as well as many others).
My name on ClickinMoms is MicheleMN. I joined in June, and have a month to month membership. However, I don’t plan to cancel. I love this forum. I get so much info from there, new friendships, new tips, and I am in the scavenger hunt, which is so much fun!

I am rcm71705 @ CM. I have been a member since February and have been trying to take it all in. There are so many talented women (and 2 men, I think
) willing to share their experience and expertise. I cannot thank them enough for all I have learned so far!
My username is inspiredbyyou and I have been a member for almost 2 months. I look at this site just about every day and there are so many things I love…the group buys for the discounts, the Inspiration Station for ideas, and several very talented photographers have helped me with editing, which was probably the most helpful!
I’ve been thinking about signing up and your little contest just pushed me over the edge.
I have so much to learn and I’m hoping this will be a wonderful resource of learning and inspiration for me.
My user name is countrygal and I just joined today. I really want to learn all I can about photography, even if it is baby steps at a time because of time constraints. I look forward to exploring the site and seeing what it has to offer.
