Stephanie Dehler Photography

I just sent in my registration form for the 2009 TCACCC (Twin Cities Area Council of Camera Clubs) Spring Break. It looks like there are going to be some really good classes this year. The event includes a full day of seminars, model sessions, portfolio evaluations, vendor booths and animals from Minnesota Wildlife Connections for nature photographers to shoot (with their cameras, of course!) if they so choose.

A couple of years ago they had wolves and tiny bear cubs. I have always been an animal lover, so naturally I was completely intrigued by them!! The people from the Minnesota Wildlife Connections let us hold the cubs, and I fell in love -- they were so incredibly soft and cuddly!

I started digging through some old CDs this afternoon and was happy to see I still had these photos my friend Paul took of me holding one of them.

NOTE: Some of the pics are a bit soft and grainy when we weren't by the window... We had to refrain from using our flashes to avoid freaking out the bears!!
