Now is the time!
I've been putting it off for too long but NO MORE! I've started a blog... I have Facebook to connect with people, joined Pinterest for ideas, a soon to be website to show who I am and now here it is my first blog to let you know what's going on!
It's only fitting that since this is Blog #1 I give you a history lesson of my life starting at day one, when I was born, and telling you everything that has happened until today. That's what you're supposed to do on blogs right? Just Kidding! How about I just give you a snapshot; I came into the world kicking and screaming, grew up in the rocky mountains, graduated High School in the city, visited various countries before moving to Brazil, Married the one my heart loves, came back to the states to have my baby girl, work, work, work, had my second baby girl which got me out of my rut and here I am trying to start something new!
As if taking care of a family isn't enough for me to do, I have come to a point where its time to branch out. Some of you may know but I've kept it a secret for a long time, I love photography!! I remember my first photo shoot with my lime green camera, I took my friend and her siblings to a park down the street, posed them and took pictures, ON FILM *gasp*. Then put that little roll into an envelope to be sent off and developed, oh the good 'ol days, I've been hooked ever since. Then life got better!! I received my first digital camera from my grandparents, I still remember going into SEARS and thinking I don't have to wait to see the pictures any more and I can take hundreds not just 36.
The beauty in pictures, I feel, isn't from me taking the picture, it was there all along, I'm just captuing what everyone else already sees. Maybe in this fast paced world we live in we forget to slowdown and really look at the beauty around us in people, families, children, nature. At a photo shoot time seems to stop, there is no TV, no phone, nothing for us to focus on but the moment we are in and that brings out the beauty that I love to capture in photographs!
So I'm ready for this new beginning! I've got my kit ready! Now is definitely the time!
