My Crazy Life

Description

Wow.  Sometimes I wonder if I’m a gluten for punishment.  I mentioned a little what was going on in my life in last weeks blog. As I want to share more of my life with my friends, clients and fans, I feel I must share more.  Back in October my Honey and I purchased a business,  Chitwood’s Cabinets.  This is my old place of work, besides photography I worked as a kitchen designer at Chitwood’s Cabinets, I always said this was my “day” job and photogrpahy was my moonlighting job.  That is how my honey and I met, he worked there for years as an installer, and I figured if I could work with the guy I could live with him and be with him.  Which has definitely proved true.  Then we were approached by the previous owner saying he wanted to sell us the business.  Whoa.

After much thought and planning we decided to go ahead with the purchase.  This made me put my true passion on hold.  I didn’t have time being that I worked 60-80 hours a week at the cabinet shop to put any time or energy into my photography business.   I won’t lie, there were a few nights that I spent up with a glass of wine, having an identity crisis. Was I cabinet salesperson/owner, or was I a photographer?  As I began to evolve into the position that I truly enjoyed at the cabinet business I realized I was still missing a part of me. My photography.  As the months progressed the more I noticed the lack of photography in my life was taking a toll on my sanity.  I never realized how much love I have for taking pictures and creating art.

Then of course the holidays hit, and then Christmas.  I was in for it at that time.  We had finally found a home that would fit us, our dogs and our life. But when could we move? We are so busy with our business that we felt there was no time to move. No time to move except for the few days we had off before Christmas, and that is what we did.  We packed up our whole life and put them in boxes to move to the new place.  We were in by Christmas Eve, and that night we had nothing set up but our Christmas tree and our bed.  We did it though.

So now being a few weeks into the new year I feel I finally have a grip on my life and my passions.  I love designing kitchens, I’ve always said the creative people have to have a way to show off their creativeness, and at my “day job” designing kitchens is the way I express it.  But my true passion, what I feel like I’m “meant” to do is my photography.  I have set up for the next few months photography blogs that I have scheduled to post to show off the work that I’ve still been doing but not blogging about.  You’ll get to see it now.

One big project I’m working on right now is my Seniors.  The Modern Senior is lifestyle portraits for high school seniors. Now is the time to start thinking about getting them done since I book up pretty fast with my tight schedule.  Always remember that weddings are my most favorite type of photography, I’m a hopeless romantic so weddings are an excellent way of me to satisfy the romance.  As always though I do family, maternity and new born sessions.  Check my portfolio, my blog and my Facebook page.  This is my style.  If you love my style and love to get portraits done, make sure you contact me.  I look forward to getting to know my new 2012 clients!
