Special Thanks

So the website has been launched, very exciting, although I still feel that it's a work in progress of course.  I already had to fix a typo (thank you Kevin for catching it) which I blame on many late night blurry eyed work sessions, and I'm in need of some new portraits of myself.  That bio photo has got to go!  Unfortunately, I don't like having my picture taken (funny, I know), so I'll really have to push myself to do that.  But this is all besides the point. 

This might seem a little dramatic being that I haven't actually done anything all that special, but it's taken a lot of work to even where I am right now and it's meant a lot to me, so I wanted to make this post to give some well deserved thanks to all those who have supported me in getting to this point so far...WARNING: this will be very academy awards-y...

First of all, I want to give thanks to my Lord and Savior for blessing me with the opportunities I have had so far and carrying me through them.

Secondly, to my husband for buying me my first "fancy" digital camera (yes, first implying I will be needing an upgrade eventually, an investment dear, an investment) and for working so hard so that I am able to pursue this while still being a stay at home mom. 

Next, to the two little loves of my life, Isaac and Jonah, for all the inspiration their beautiful little faces and spirits give me everyday to want to capture the love in all of our lives.

To my mom, for supporting me everyday of my life, for listening, for her patience, her encouragement, and the list could go on forever.  She's my mom and she's fulfilled that role wholly and completely..

Also, to my sister, for assisting me a number of times (with no pay), carrying heavy objects, restraining both large and small dogs, making overtired kids laugh, making me laugh, posing for me, bearing the elements, and the list goes on...

To Cayla, for responding to my late night "HELP ME" texts, emails, and phone calls.  For giving me my first second shooting opportunity, and for creating images that inspire me!

To Jody, my high school photography teacher, and now friend and neighbor.  For always encouraging me, giving me kind words, and telling me to "go for it".

To Pauline, for being my biggest facebook promoter.  :)

To the rest of my family and friends, thank you for being there for me and for all of the positive words. 

And lastly, to everyone that's let me take take your picture: THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
