it’s been a busy week….still playing catch up from my week off a few weeks back.
I’ve been thinking about my brand and blog here lately. My main goal is to be real…really real. I want people to be able to know who I am and what’s really going on with me. I want to have more face to face interaction with people, but I also want to be able to be able to have converstaion here as well. There is much debate about whether blogs (specifically blogs related to your business/brand) should be personal, professional, or, if both, how much personal stuff should be included. I’m quickly realizing that I am my brand, not my pictures not my logo, but me.
Therefore, I am going to make a valiant attempt to be real here. I am going to try to post regularly about what’s going on in my world, instead of just waiting to post about a recent wedding or photo shoot. That being said….it starts now.
The last few weeks for me have been filled with uncertainty. I really do like surprises and I like to anticipate what the future holds for me, but I am extremely impatient and get worried about the future very easily. I love working for myself, but it can take a toll on your nerves. I worry about whether or not I will book enough work in the fall to continue making a living doing what I love. I worry if I am ever going to be able to afford a studio or a loft where I can work out of. I want/need to upgrade some of my gear, but I am afraid of making the leap and spend the money because I’m uncertain how much money will continue to come in. All of my worries center around the theme of provision. God will provide. Fact. I know this is true, but I still struggle with it.
On a different note, I’ve been shooting a lot lately and I plan to post some stuff soon.
Here’s a comedic shot from my trip to South Alabama to spend time with extended family for my Grandmother’s 80th birthday.
breaking the law always makes for good photos. fact.
Stephanie and Anthony

Every now and then I have the privilege of shooting a friends wedding, and I love it. Stephanie and Anthony’s wedding was no exception.
Anthony (the man formerly know as “Train”) and I worked together several years ago. I had a blast shooting the wedding day and getting to catch up with him and many more good friends in Birmingham. I think the images turned out beautiful. I can’t believe that I am just now getting around to posting this…I guess the past two weeks have been busy and my blogging discipline is slacking.
