What a week it has already been! Yesterday I completed my first interview. Erin, Chief Joy Officer at The Joy of Marketing asked last week if I’d be interested in sharing a little bit about my business and the journey I’ve taken so far. I met Erin last October when I was just feeling out the idea of becoming a professional photographer and when we met I didn’t plan on being serious about making this my job for at least a year or two. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be in the position to quit my full time job and go full steam ahead with my camera a mere 4 months later…
I’m continually amazed and humbled by all the families that have allowed me into their homes to photograph their families and am continually blessed by the friendships I’ve made and those that continue to grow. I’m so very excited for what is to come and for Spring to get here! Although the snow is really pretty when it falls, I’m ready for it to be warm, sunny, and green outside. :)
I had an absolutely amazing weekend in Rome. I had sessions with a beautiful bride, a precious baby, a super fabulous couple and a church that’s on fire for God. It wasn’t 70 degrees this weekend, but the snow wasn’t falling either and allowed us to be under some beautiful blue skies and pretty sunshine.
I’m going to be sharing some of the designing I’ve been working on and have completed, some goals I’ve set for this year, the books I’m reading and what I’m learning and of course the amazing people I’ve photographed over the past week.
Let’s start with Kaylee. Amy was my first belly session and then just a couple of weeks later I returned to meet Kaylee. She’s growing so fast and time passes just as quickly, just a few short months ago I saw her for her 3 month session. Soon I’ll be sharing her 6 month session, but for now here’s a peek.
Sunday afternoon after church I wanted to get outside and take advantage of the beautiful blue sky. While looking for someone to go out and shoot with I saw Sara who I met this past Fall. It just so happened Sara and Josh were planning to have a picnic and said they wouldn’t mind if I joined them with my camera. You’ll have to check back for the rest of the story… but due to a series of unplanned events we were slightly delayed but later in the day we found ourselves exploring the abandon factory and stumbled upon a corvette as well. Who could pass up a photo op and a sweet car?? More crazy FUN pictures from this couple soon!
Last Thursday I met with my friend Anne for lunch. She had just finished an interview for grad school and my friend Jennifer is learning how to use her new dlsr. Anne was kind enough to volunteer to be our model despite the Freezing wind and cold. It was a sunny day but it wasn’t close to being warm! I’ll showcase more of Anne tomorrow!
Life is moving extremely quickly right now and the calender is filling up very quickly for this Spring! Between now and June I have 9 weddings along with a number of family sessions, school pictures, auctions, and participating in The World’s Largest Baby Shower (more on that soon!) I’m going to try and roll out new pictures and information daily so be sure to check back often… there are a few announcements and opportunities that you don’t want to miss!
Check out my NEW Facebook Fan Page. I announce new promotions, events, and the latest news there. You don’t want to miss out! While your there invite your friends to join as well. Look for special sessions later this month and wonderful gift ideas for Mother’s Day!
