RE: Chapter 2

  • At 5 pm, I will log off my computer, clear out my desk and head back home to start a new chapter in my life.
  • This is my very last day working a corporate America job. Tomorrow, I will wake up a full-time photographer.
  • Just over two years ago, I was picking out my first DSLR camera and entertaining the idea of one day becoming a professional photographer. It was a pipe dream amidst college classes pushing me towards a safe career. Today, I am closing the door to my safety net and opening one that leads to that pipe dream, now a tangible reality within my grasp. 
  • This is a huge leap, but regardless of the outcome, I am at peace knowing I am following my passion and what I feel I have been called to do.
  • I look back and I'm amazed. In the midst of the frustrations, the self-doubt, the "what should I do with my life" questions, I can see God's hands in everything, building a framework around me of what would become an incredibly valuable network of encouragement. Friendships would form, doors would be opened, and opportunities would present themselves in such a way that would leave little room to doubt that everything was happening exactly when it was supposed to, and not a moment sooner. 
  • I am overwhelmed, appreciative and blessed beyond what I deserve.
  • A heartfelt thank you goes out to anyone who has ever booked me, recommended me or simply stopped by this blog. I would not be at this point without you.
  • Speaking of my blog, expect a ton of catch-up posts, as well as some BIG marketing and branding changes! :)
  • Here's to risk, adventure and chasing your dreams..
