Baby-Sitters Club

As a little girl I would beg my parents to go out. I absolutely loved our babysitter, Brooke. When she came over, it was non-stop fun: baking cookies, doing our hair and nails, and making crafts. She always had activities planned for the evening.

Brooke inspired me. When I came to the baby-sitter's age, I wanted to be just like Brooke. I took the baby-sitter's course at our local hospital, I read the entire Baby-Sitters Club Guide to Baby-Sitting, I had a folder full of emergency forms, and even sent pamphlets out around the neighborhood to families with small children to let them know I was available for hire. You could say this was my first attempt at entrepreneurship.

So...you can see why I was more than thrilled when Brooke contacted me to photograph her young family. I had such a great time with Brooke, Dave, and their two beautiful children Jake and Elizabeth! Here is a sneak peek! Much more to come soon.

My New Style

Some of my excitement in the past few weeks has been holding back what has been in the works!  As you can see at the top, I have a new look.  Just like my wardrobe sometimes needs some styling, my business needed a style.  A style that fit me!  And if it wasn't done soon, a loved one would of had no choice but to turn me in to What Not To Wear.  (my favorite show!!)

I cannot wait to see how my new style evolves and takes shape within every aspect of my business in the coming months and years.  It is so awesome to see how far I have come in the past year, but hold on, there is much more to come before the year is out!

A big thank you to Paul for all the design work!

A New Understanding

"Seek first to understand, then be understood."  - Stephen R. Covey

I have learned more about myself, my photography, and my business in the past few months than I ever have.  Trying to take a good look at all aspects of my photography daily has helped in my new understanding.  Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I understand it all.  I never will, but I hope to understand more every day. 

This past weekend brought more knowledge and confidence just from being understood.  It was so unbelievably exciting officially showing my photography and my business to the community.  The Chili Cook Off had such a great turn out, and I had such an amazing time sharing with everyone.  Thank you again for all your support!
