No, I’m not pregnant.
Remember last week when I told you that something had been going on and that I couldn’t quite share the news with you, but I would when I was ready?
Well, my t’s are crossed and my i’s are dotted and I think I’m ready to share. This is something that I have kicked around doing for over two years. Most of you don’t know that I have actually decided to do this twice before, I even bought domain name, but I never quite had the confidence and honestly, I wasn’t ready.
Then this year, something happened. I’m still not sure what, but everything start to make sense. Taking pictures began to feel so amazing to me, the greatest therapy. With each click of the shutter button, I felt James and Jake. I felt love and creativity. When James and Jake died, I thought I’d never pick up my camera again, but I think they had other plans for me.
I not only picked it up but I picked it up more often, my eyes were wider and I saw more beauty than I have ever seen before. I saw more life.
So I captured it. I captured life.
This is all very official (and BEYOND EXCITING) for me, it’s not like me just writing out a post, it’s me putting my whole self out there, hoping to succeed, hoping to capture love and family. My fingers and toes are crossed that all will turn out well, for sure. But something tells me that these two little angels will continue to lead me in the right direction. All i need to do is continue to listen.
I’ve not only been listening to them, but also all of you, Brian, my family and my friends. Everyone has encouraged to take this leap and now I am. I am leaping.
Here is my news:

Your photography is a visual story. The header photos on your new site are some of the best I’ve ever seen.
It might seem a little impossible but I feel J&J with me too. There’s always something that reminds me of them, or you and your family. I’ve had a rough year and those little guys helped me though it, it’s true and I will hold that dear to me forever.
Love ya always! Shelli

I love you.
