As many of you know last year I did big things with my photography business, opened a studio, tripled my clientele by A LOT and met a lot of wonderful people along the way... Until life completely changed for me!!! I don't like to put my personal business out there but 2011 was probably one of the most wonderful years for me, yet one of the most difficult. My husband and I of 14 years parted ways and I moved myself and my daughter to Oklahoma. Which wasn't exactly the most exciting transition ever. I was forced to sell all my photography equipment just to make ends meet and actually lost the passion I had for photography in the process... Now, almost 6 months later, I am crrrraving photography!!!! I'm ready to shoot!!! I know that part of me is missing and it's time for me to get it back!!! So, I purchased a older model Nikon (after much debate about what I wanted to do considering I couldn't afford much and didn't want a tiny little starter camera in these big hands ha!!) a new lens and I'm booking sessions... Since I have been in Oklahoma I have found myself, a new love, reconnected with old friends and family, have a nursing job I truly enjoy and there is only one thing missing..... PHOTOGRAPHY!!! No time like the present to get it back up and running and be the ME that I KNOW I can be!!!
So, I want to thank EVERYONE who has stood behind me, told me not to give up and helped me move one foot in front of the other when I didn't think I could!!! Because of you and the wonderful support of my faithful clients I am back and I hope this time I come back better than before!!!!
XOXO-

You're an inspiration! Sometimes we have to do things that we'd rather not do, but you have proven that nothing is forever and that even though a hardship might exist for a period of time, that it will soon pass and you can be who you want to be! So glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mariam! It is so true, NOTHING lasts forever and if we are strong we will make it through anything thrown our way... Even when we don't think we can... :-)
