Christina + Ricky :. Day Two | Korean Wedding at Hockley Valley Resort in Orangeville

It’s taken me forever to finally hit publish on this blog post. Pulling images out.. rethinking things.. rearranging things.. but never actually hitting publish. I knew with this post I wanted to announce some big news. So, maybe I wasn’t ready to say it out loud yet. I was rearranging thoughts in my head.. self doubt and fear and trying to manage it all. Well, I’m ready to announce it now. Trying to be Fearless…

It’s been a little over 2 years since I first picked up a DSLR. I still can’t believe it because it feels more like 5 years ago. I’ve worked really, really hard for the last year and a half on building a business and trying to get better...trying not to suck as much. I’ve been shooting hard.. learning hard and networking hard.. always pushing myself… all the while working a full time job and raising my sweet little son. I’ve been stressed and frazzled and exhausted and excited and energized and inspired.. sometimes all at  once. My family has had to endure very little time with me over this last summer… my amazing clients put up with extended deadlines and apologetic emails… but through it all both my family and my clients have been my biggest fans and staunchest supporters.. sooo, so grateful for them. I’m also grateful for the mindblowingly amazing photographers that I call family. That push me and mentor me, love me and cheer me on. So blessed. I’ve been working 24/7 with my eye on that prize… Sometimes it seemed so very far away…

I can’t believe I’m saying it out loud, but as of the end of this week, I’m officially…….. full-time. No more day job. Just me myself and my two little cameras. Gahhhhhh.

It’s going to get awesome up in here.. because this is where my heart and soul is…

this is only the beginning…
