M.I.A.

hey peeps

i've been pretty much running around like a chicken with its head cut off

these past few days...i've been so busy, which is a change for me!

with my shop opening up, having the opportunity to take my cousin's engagement

pictures, and of course work, my life has been pretty hectic!

a shout out to those who have not only checked out our store, but who have purchased!

i had my first sale the day after it opened!! woo woo! thank you!

--------

when i attended grand valley state university (a university i commuted

to right after high school, before i moved to utah) i was actually a photography major!

it never really went anywhere, because i moved

on to journalism, then on to (now) graphic design, but photography

has always been a passion of mine (just look at my instagram...over 400 pictures!)

so when my cousin called and asked me to take his engagement, bridal, and wedding day

photos, i was completely honored, and so nervous i could crap my pants.

wedding day pictures? engagements?

they hadn't ever even seen any of my work, which was mostly of

plants, doors, and other...not alive objects.

i wasn't into shooting people.

however, i accepted the offer, and told them if they didn't like

what i did with the engagements, they could back out, no hard feelings.

so yesterday i put on my big girl panties, said a silent prayer,

took my lovely husband's advice and acted like i knew exactly what i was doing.

after a while, i even started to believe it myself.

what a great application to everyday life, too!

i don't want to put too many up, since i haven't given hailee the cd yet.

but they are seriously the cutest!

and it was so nice to get to know my cousin better!

i'm so excited to have Hailee as a member of our family, and know the two of them

will be absolutely perfect together!

i'm so glad tay was able to help me, too! we made a pretty awesome team, 

it was a really great day!
