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:

My website is a work in progress, soon I’ll be adding blog updates after each shoot, which is very exciting because I love talking about pictures and my portfolio will be expanded, as it grows. (website installation by Heather!)
So, please head over there and come back and tell me what you think. I’m dying to hear what you have to say!
Congrats! Your website is beautiful…I will admit I sat, completely mesmorized by the beauty of the photos you have posted on there. You have a wonderful talent and I’m so proud of you for making the decision to go forward with your dream. I look forward to seeing more of your work, and of course having you take pictures of my family.

The new site looks great. My one complaint is that Texas is so far from Indiana!
