Happy Birthday Blog!

Well, this is a little belated, but on November 3rd, my blog turned 1 year old! :)

Why, you may ask, do you care about how old your blog is??

I cannot tell you guys how fun it has been to do this blogging thing over the past year. I remember when I first stared blogging I thought it was so dorky and lame. :) Now, a year later, I LOVE blogging - I love sharing lots of fun business and life stuff with you guys! My friend Andy told me yesterday that he thinks I do a great job of using my blog as a marketing tool, which is a huge compliment and was a big mission of this whole thing, but blogging has become even more than that to me. It has become therapeutic for me - and has helped me to reflect on this past year and think about how I'm progressing towards the things I want to see happen in my life and in my career.

There's something really awesome about being able to read back to what I was doing 3, 6, 12 months ago - the kinds of things that were significant to me, the type of photography work I was producing - and to see how much I've grown in my business and my life! A lot happens in a year, guys!

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys SO much for taking an interest in my little world and coming by the blog to see what's going on with me. It means so much to have friends, family, and of course brides and grooms, who care about what's happening in my life. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again: THANK YOU! Thank you thank you thank you!

And for nostalgia's sake, here's the link to my *First Post* ever on the blog. Look how tiny the pictures are! We've come a long way! ; )
