Photo Safari.
I went on a photo safari to focus in on what my eye is attracted to, to get more of an idea of what my taste is, and to apply this to my overall branding. Here are images from that project. I am working on a new website and some of these elements will be included in the finished product. Stay tuned!

Happy Birthday Dad!
Dad-Happy Birthday :)
Memories:
Stories read before bed-you wanted one more just as much as we did.
Balanced breakfasts made every morning for us even when we only had time for a couple bites.
Walking along the path to elementary school while you waited and waived to me until I couldn’t see you anymore.
Swing dancing lessons to learn a dance for the song “Rockin Robin”
And most recent (photo below) going to the Grease sing-a-long movie. So dorky I know! We loved it!
I love you so much!

2012.
It’s easy to get into the mode of wanting to do more, start more projects. I am always humbled and grateful when I take a moment to look back on accomplishments and experiences. 2012 was an amazing year!

ReSTART
“ReSTART is about a group getting together.” -Jasmine Star at her ReSTART workshop
Four wedding photographers and I came together to hold a workshop within a workshop. We watched CreativeLIVE’s workshop featuring Jasmine Star while creating a structure for ourselves to make the most out of what we learned.
We have no choice to but to be accountable to each other and having a community within our industry allows us to have incredible friendships, and gets our creative and business juices flowing. I am thankful for them!
