I have a goal.  To blog more, stay true to me, and keep it real.  I am going to start a new blog instalment that will be weekly.. Talkative Tuesday.  Rad right?  And how fitting.. I can talk for every to anyone.  Just ask anyone who has ever met me.  Actually funny story.. I was talking to a friend and she mentioned how another mutual friend is quiet and they never talk that long on the phone.  And I said really?  We talk forever on the phone sometimes.. then I thought again.. I talk forever at her.  Maybe she puts the phone down and wonders how long I will talk before I clue in she’s not there?  Could happen?  Does this happen friend that I am notnamingmistynaming?  But I do listen to people too.. but I really do like to talk a lot.  I might as well talk a lot here.

The past couple of weeks I have been thinking a lot about life.  I have been at the hospital to see two brand new babies less than twelve hours old and I am left speechless.  There is something about these babies that brings me back 8 1/2 years ago.. 10 years ago.  I wonder… I wonder what they are thinking, these sweet babies so fresh from heaven.  And I am always grateful to be blessed to see these babies so fresh and new.  And since these are good friends having babies I take my camera along.. because what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t at least take a picture.  And since my best friend had kid number FIVE last week.  Congrats Tiff!  I have to showcase just a quick little snippet of him.  First I am not a newborn or birth photographer.  I can recommend great photographers for that.  But I wanted to share this moment I caught that is what it is all about.  I love the gentleness that Tiffany is showing with her baby boy just hours old.  It’s the moments like these that bring me back to what is most important. 
Isn’t he the sweetest thing?  I feel blessed I was able to see him so fresh and new.  It brings me back to what is really important.. my family.

I am striving to keep that balance of my family, and my business that I love.  My family will always come first.  In an effort to maintain, or find, I am not sure which one it is.. although I am thinking the latter, I will be taking only 4-6 shoots per month.  I would love to still capture you.  But my schedule will book up quickly.  FYI the Summer months are already booking up quickly.  I am so excited for 2012.  I am hoping that I can balance my life… attend all of the kiddos things, shoot the weddings and families that I love, and run a long, long, long, long way.

Oh wait!  I have one more thing.  I keep getting asked if I shoot destination weddings.  I do, and I LOVE THEM!  In fact if you have a destination wedding for 2012 email.  I have a fantastic wedding package for you!  You don’t want to miss out.  And I am excited because I already have a fabulous destination wedding booked for 2013!  It is going to be awesome!

Happy Tuesday!
