It’s been almost 1 month since I last blogged. I’ll be honest I didn’t realize it had been that long until I just looked a second ago.  I started looking at my blog and what I was writing. I hated it. What was I trying to accomplish with this blog, what’s the point?! I was posting how I thought everyone did. Sessions, weddings, tips here and there, quick blurb about my life. But all in all it was brushing the surface of me. As I’m searching for the raw, natural you, I failed to give the raw, natural me.  I’ve been holding back. This blog is my story. My version of a wedding day. My version of session. My business. My life. In a way it’s my journal. And from here on out I’m going to treat it as such.

I’ve never been good at keeping a journal or diary. Ya, I know you had a diary too. A special little key to unlock it thinking we could keep all of our little secrets in it. I wish I had been better at writing life down. And as a photographer I suck at keeping up with taking photos of my family. I mean I get Cattie out every once in a while to stand/sit all nice and smile. But I fail to photograph her. Really photograph HER. It’s time for change in my life. Time to buck up. So get ready to see this blog transform as I begin to bare my soul. I’m stoked, you should be too 😉

I believe in authenticity. But to find it we have to initiate it ourselves.

I believe that by choosing to be fearlessly authentic those around me, including you, will choose to do the same.

There is only one you for all time. Just one. Own it. And fearlessly be yourself!!

Blog posts are just so much better with a photo, eh? It’s our first spring in our new house and the plum trees started blooming today. I’m so jacked that this is happening in my own yard!
