embarking on a new journey ... sort of

Christmas is my very favorite time of year - ask anyone who knows me ... Christmas carols start resonating throughout the house on November 1st, much to the dismay of my family members.  And I never really take down ALL the decorations; there are usually a few stragglers ... pretty much whatever my favorite new acquisitions are for the season, they earn their keep and become permanent fixtures in our home.  My family does tolerate me, thank goodness, which is one of the blessings I count in my day to day life.  (I wonder if they would be as tolerant if they knew I actually play the carols on my iPod in July ... I'm thinking 'no'.)  At any rate, I thought with it being Advent and all, this would be the perfect time to start putting a little extra effort into making a name for myself in this business world.  So, as they say, '... AWAY we go!'

Although I've been taking photographs for years, I never actually put myself out there (mostly because I've never really been sure where 'there' is ... ) to try to obtain business.  I haven't done much advertising and really only relied on referrals from friends who have trusted me enough through the years to allow me to be privy to some of the most endearing and captivating moments in their lives.  What an incredible honor.  So now, I think I've finally arrived to the point at which I wish to spread my wings.  This is going to be fun. New people, new places, new moments.  I can't wait.

So spread the word - to all your friends and family - my goal is to capture those moments which nurture the heart and soul of a relationship, a person, a pet ... in a special setting, at a special event, or for a special holiday.  I look forward to getting to you know and those who are special to you.

Thank you for sharing my inaugural post and embarkation into my newest, most enthralling endeavor.  Please check back as I will post teasers and comments often.

Here's to soul-searching!
