The blog is officially up.
What a wonderful and whacky ride it has been over the past year. New baby, new profession, and brand new perspective on life.
This career has been 20 years in the making. From polaroid to film, high school homecoming games to the cobblestone streets of Europe. I have seen the emotion that makes life beautiful and worked to capture it.
Having my third child made me realize how blinkingly fast the ride can be. I found myself grasping onto each moment with my children. Trying to memorize an ironic smile, bottle that baby smell, or scribble down every endearing thing they said.
But life is busy. Inevitably, those glimpses swirl away in a whirlwind of everyday moments that pass too quickly. I was grasping to remember, beating myself up for what I forgot, and losing the magic of just being in the moment.
So once more I turn to my camera. I may not have a perfectly scrapbooked life, complete with witty quotes, color-coordinated washi tape borders and line graphs of each child's physical development, but I have my camera. I have THAT. And I can share it with you.
Taking risks can be scary. Missing an opportunity to follow your passion is completely terrifying. So here I am, doing what I love and giving you beautiful memories to treasure forever. Thanks for stopping by. Visit me again soon.
