Hi Sara,
Welcome to the photography community! And, great to see another Kansan! What camera do you most often shoot with? What area of Kansas are you from? I hope you will find the discussions and weekly assignments helpful in your photography journey. And, of course, we'd love to have you on a workshop at some point in the future. We are hoping to get a fair number of Kansans on the site and do some photography outings like we do when we visit back to Colorado Springs. You can see some postings from our outings in the forum as well.
By the way, Sara, I'm Keith's wife and photography buddy and mother to our two budding photographers, Evan (4 yrs.) and McKenzie (21 months). And, yes, I cut and pasted from my welcome to Mike as naptime is nearing an end and I'm running out of time to be on the computer :-)
