Changes....oh changes...

I have a feeling... this blog is going to turn into more than a photography blog.
Hm, who am I kidding, it's already making that transformation...into a... life blog? Adventure blog? Sure!


On that note, I am going to be very honest here, and say... I am hoping this blog will help being me out of a photo-funk. Yikes. That's not fun to admit.
I am feeling quite uninspired in the world of photography.  So sad to say it, but it is true. 
Traveling helps, of course. Something I have been doing a lot of lately :)


So, bare with me while this blog figures out what it really is. It is possibly (more than likely) going to be taking over the "facebook connection". Follow me here! :)


Okay, okay, enough rambling, on to some things...


I recently made a super secret trek to North Carolina to surprise my love (which went amazing! Thank you Elisha & Paul!!) And in the trip, made some amazing friends!! I am going to share a few photos from that trip at the end of this blog...
But first...
One of these new friends, has a blog also. CHECK IT OUT! Kiss My Smash
I ventured over to her blog after getting back to Tennessee & read her post on New Years Resolutions ....and I must say, it caught my attention & made me smile... She mentions that she doesn't have a lot she wants to change in her life, because... simply put, she loves her life. 
After reading this, I kept thinking...wow, ME TOO! 
Of course I have some things I want to get done this year... such as (finally) move, find some answers to some personal questions regarding goals and such...but really, when it boils down to it...
I LOVE MY LIFE! 
I have an amazing family, amazing friends, an absolutely INCREDIBLE man (& friend), an absolutely incredible support system...I am constantly traveling...I realize more & more reasons, every day, as to why I didn't move in 2010 like I had so surely planned. I wouldn't be where I am now, with the majority of the people I have in my life right now. I can't imagine not having these people!
Okay, on to the photographs... I just really wanted to share my thoughts on how great life is right now... and my friend Ashley's blog!

Michigan Love - Mel & Al's Wedding!

Wow, I am so behind on updating this blog! I will try my best to keep up with it from here on out! I have so many sessions to post! 
I want to start with my trip to Michigan back in September. I was headed up to Michigan on a personal trip & had the honor of being a last-minute-additional-photographer for two amazing people!  Mel & Al - you two are so awesome! I look forward to many more times together! Thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!!
