It was taken on my son's first birthday as I had the day off of work and we were enjoying some time at the park in our neighborhood. He had just learned to walk, and I was reminiscing on the journey of the last year that had taken him from birth to this day in the park. I have always know that God has loved me, but when I became a mother and felt the love for my son, I understand God's love and plan for me so much more.
And I remember thinking, "I wonder what the next year will hold for not only my son, but also for me." I knew I needed to have a job that allowed me to have more time and energy for my son, and my current situation - although an incredible job - was just not fitting that puzzle of my life.
So when I look at my life that day... less than one year ago - and look at my life today and the way that photography has become such a fun and exciting expression of my creativity, I am blown away.
I think of all of the amazing families, babies, children, and couples that I have had the joy of serving with my photography, I cannot fight this feeling (and don't want to fight it!) of absolute gratitude.
And a feeling of pure excitement for what is to come in the upcoming year.
Thanks to all of my clients - past and future - for making me the luckiest girl in the world. I truly have the attitude of gratitude.
