2010 was an amazing year for my business. I didn't gain much income, but the experience was incredible. Every shoot I learned at least a dozen things I could do better AND how.
God has been so gracious in allowing me to pursue this career opportunity by giving me an ability to use and grow with. I always thought I would start a business later in life, after I'd had a really stable job that I got sick of. We'd be financially stable and I could then do what I wanted. I'm so glad I didn't waste that time, but was encouraged by others around me to go for it.
It's been rocky at times. I have to be patient because I can't have every part of my dream yet, but I am at least building up to it. I'm not always great at selling myself and am constantly over-critiquing my work.
I'm not sure what is in store for 2011. God has total control of this business and I'm thankful for that.
I hope to grow in my abilities while giving people an experience they love with images they'll cherish (sounds cliche I know). I hope to show the world (or at least those in Mansfield and surrounding towns) a different perspective through my lens. Most of all, I hope those around me are as blessed as I am. Happy New Year!
Here are a few pics from the end of 2010:
Christmas morning with my parents.

My hubby, me, my mom and my dad.
Christmas time togetherness = games.
Cream wafers are one of my hubby's favorites.
That's me in second grade.

As always your pictures are thoughtful and wonderful.
