This is a straight-from-the-heart blog post and has nothing to do with my anything except my sincere and humble appreciation for each and every one of you! Yes, you! My fans and my clients are like family to me and many of my clients have turned into good friends that I cherish.
When I started this business about a year and a half ago I never dreamed of this type of response and how it would change my life. Because of your support I am now completely booked up through the summer and the fall is quickly following the same pattern. Thank you! Seriously, thank YOU!
I have loved meeting each and everyone of my clients thus far and can only imagine what fun is in store for the rest of this year! I love my job and I love telling your stories! Watching clients interact with each other from behind the camera is my passion. Playing with small children and waiting for that sweet smile to appear is what makes my heart skip a beat. Interacting with a newly married couple and watching their love overflow for each other is a privilege. And cuddling that sweet sweet newborn until he's fast asleep makes my job the best one in the world. Because of YOU my dreams are becoming a reality!
I have found what I love to do and am filled with peace and pure joy when I am behind the camera. I don't think there are many moments when I'm not smiling behind the lens. This job has been a journey of finding out who I am, what inspires me and continuously learning new things. It's a never ending inner battle to stay true to who you are and despite what others may say continue to do what you love. Anyone who is a photographer can tell you that this job is a fierce and competitive field to work in and if you're not grounded in who you are and believe in yourself then you find yourself wanting to give up over and over. I've been there. But every time I pick up my camera I learn something new, and telling stories, your stories, is something I live for. My passion to do that will never die and I commit myself to learning something new every day about myself that makes me a better photographer. If you know who you are and what you want in life (even if you're not sure how to go about doing that) then you'll achieve your dreams! Thank you again to all of you who have made my dreams come true!

On a side note, I couldn't do any of this without the amazing support and encouragement of my loving and faithful husband! He's my sounding board, my tech-geek, and the listening ear that gets me through a lot of late nights! Love you Tom!
And because I don't know how to post a blog without photos, I am going to share some simple moments with my children that make my life complete. They are the reason I wake up in the morning and they keep me in my toes 24/7...
