Exciting New Launch!

Honestly... I don't even know where to start this post. Right now I'm doing the happy dance in sooo many ways and for sooooooooo many reasons! I'm SUPER excited about this new launch. I cant believe that I'm actually taking a dream that I've had for while now and making it REAL!!!!!!!!!! How exciting is THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Again... doing the HAPPY DANCE! :)

Some of you have noticed that I've been "away" and "distant" for a while and THIS is the reason. I've been doing TONS of research, looking at all kinds of photography websites, trying to learn all the "behind the scene" work, trying to figure out what I want to achieve in this whole process, where I want to go, etc... All I have to say is holy moly information overload!!!!!!!

Right now I'm taking baby steps. You all know I'm JUST getting started and I'm NOT going to pretend that I know all what it takes because I KNOW I have a LOT to learn but I'm WILLING to learn it. I'm willing to make mistakes a long the way. I'm willing to put everything I have into making this business strive and become what my wildest dreams believes it can be.

So I'm SUPER excited. I'm super excited about all the plans and ideas I have going through my mind. I've been sooooo inspired by my babies, family, friends, and even some really amazing photog friends I've found along the way of my business adventure.

I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait to share with you all this passion I have growing inside of me. So get ready people! Some might be horrible ideas and some might be FABULOUS ideas but I'm excited! (you should see the super cheesy smile I have on my face right now... LOL)

Before I go any further and continue with all my babbling... ;-) I need to express my EXTREME gratitude to a few of people.

During my research of this whole new world I became extremely overwhelmed and honestly had NO IDEA where to start or what I needed to do. I found myself looking at the same stuff over and over and almost to the point where a little piece of me thought I would never find the "light" at the end of the tunnel because I felt like I was drowning with information. So I gathered some courage and decided I was going to take a chance and email a photographer just ask her a few questions, I mean, the worst that could have happen was that she never answered me back right??? Well if I only knew...

Maria from Slice of Life Photography actually wrote me back!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did she answer my questions but this whole time she's been my "go to person". She even helped me with this blog (ok who am I kidding... she did most of the work). I'm not sure you guys fully understand, Maria didn't know me at ALL... I was this stranger asking her about her business. She opened her heart, took time out of her "days" (cause it wasn't just one day), answered all my questions (which were a ton) and helped me "just because". She has a heart of GOLD and I honestly don't know how I'm ever going to be able to show her how truly grateful I am for it. Maria from the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU... THANK YOU....THANK YOU SO MUCH for everything. Please take a look at her website above, her work is truly amazing!

My husband... my poor husband... (he actually calls himself my "Creative Advisor")... LOL!!!! Carlos was the actual creator of my logo above. Isn't it awesome??? I cant begin to tell you how many times I made him re-do it and how he took in all my "demands" without loosing it. But not only did he help me with my logo but he was the person I went to when I couldn't' decided on something, helped me with my ideas and thoughts, and believe it or not he actually helps me edit pictures!!! Babe... I mean... Creative Advisor... thank you for all your patience, support, love, and guidance.

Most of you know I'm part of a Mommy board (which by the way is fantastic), well one of the Mommy's on there has also helped me with TONS of info. Rebekah is fabulous. She offered any help I needed and even went to the extreme of contacting one of her Photography friends and asked her if she wouldn't mind sharing how she got her business started. See... FABULOUS! Please check her out here along with Kristen's (her photog friend who also shared info with me)work here.

Now on to all my family and friends who didn't give me the "crazy eye" when I told them that I was thinking about going down this road. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for the support I soooo need! Thank you! I know that with you and God behind me I can do this.

Again, I'm SUPER excited about this. I have tons of plans on give aways, sales, partnerships, and my most exciting venture giving back. Soon I will share these ALL with you.

I hope you all enjoy this new blog. Feel free to take a look around and leave some comments!
