Christian + Naloni {i do}
What better way to start the new year then to blog the last wedding of last year : ) Well here it is. Last year seemed like a whirlwind for me, and if I’m being honest, by about mid-October I started feeling a little overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with questions like, where would my business go in 2012? how would I get myself published? do I even want to get myself published? will I ever feel like I totally know what I’m doing? should I focus on more than one area of photography? should I advertise more….the questions kept coming and coming and by the end of October I decided I wasn’t shooting anything at all in the month of December.
Well. Who am I kidding? I got a call the end of November that piqued my curiosity. A small wedding. The middle of December. A Christmas wedding.
I booked it and I can’t express in words how grateful I am that I did. To the Staff/Canada/Brown/Lee families. You reminded me of why I started photographing weddings. You reminded me that it’s not about the advertising, the getting published, the projected business growth. Truly. It’s about this little boy 10 years from now, who will crawl up on his mommies lap and ask to see their story.
Their love story.
Maybe this post was mostly for me, something I can re-read when I start feeling overwhelmed. Or maybe it’s my way of reminding everyone to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Whatever the case may be- Christian and Naloni (and your amazing families : ) thank-you for letting me be a part of your day. Thank-you for the reminder of what this “business” is really all about. I’m forever grateful.
Love Deeply.
