I have never found more accurate words to express my love for photography than “it is my passion”. It is something I love to do but at the same time it can give me the worst feelings in the world. Never have I felt so comfortable than behind the lens. At the same time that’s when I have felt my most vulnerable. I have a million doubts and second guesses, but I still come back for more. Simply because I love it. Do you know that feeling? I’m about to launch my new website in the spring and I keep going back and forth on if I like this or should I tweak that. It’s exhausting.

Another thing I am passionate about is weddings. I love the tradition and commitment that the couple brings. You can never go to a wedding twice; none are the same. From selecting stationary to dress fittings to cake tasting and picking flowers for the bouquets. I love every part of it! And this weekend I get to go with my good friend to try on her first round of wedding dresses! I’m too excited! I mean what if we find her dress, ya know, THE one? I can’t even imagine how big my smile would be. Stoked is probably the best word for it. Wish us luck!
