So much to blog, so little time…

I realize I don’t have too many blog followers, but since I hadn’t posted anything since July, I thought it high time that I did!

This year has been just crazy in so many ways. I never dreamed that my little headshot photography business would turn into a Surprise Proposal extravaganza! I’ve done over 20 surprise proposal shoots, and 9 weddings. The weddings are small Central Park affairs (with one exception) but still…it’s more than I ever dreamed!

So, I am basically finding my feet. Trying to balance still being a waitress 3 nights a week with my budding photography career. I’m figuring out my workflow and finding out what works and what doesn’t. It is sometimes REALLY overwhelming and a bit scary to be honest, but I’m also excited! REALLY excited. And happy, truly happy with how my life is unfolding. To think that I could possibly earn a living doing what I love to do is something I started to think would never happen.

To just make things so much MORE exciting, I got engaged as well! Yay me! I spent an entire year shooting surprise proposals or “photographing the love” as I like to call it and then BOOM it happens to me! Everyone inevitably asks “who shot YOUR proposal?” There was no photographer hiding in the bushes. Honestly, it was the most perfect moment ever. Special and perfect, just me and him. Exactly how I wanted it to be. And I took photos with my iPhone afterwards!

I will be blogging many of my shoots from this past year in the next few weeks. Stay tuned! I promise I wont wait another 4 months!

Here’s a little taste of what’s in store…
