Not sure many of you know that I have two businesses one is my photography (Re-Image Photo) which I started back in 2006. The journey of owning and operating a business of my own has been one adventure after another, and a progression of Try-Fail-Adjust, which has been a great learning experience. I have been blessed to have met so many amazing people, and I got the chance to take a small part in their lives and hopefully bless them with my photography. Last year while visiting with my hubby in Chicago, IL we both got to meet great people. They were brought into our lives and continue to be a blessing teaching us principals of what our country was founded on. I am privileged to get to learn from people who have a dream, and no matter what anyone says their dream can not be taken away. Just a few weeks ago we all got to see Dr. John Maxwell speak and he lit the room of 15,000 people with leadership principals and explained to us that we need to bet on ourselves before anyone can bet on us. You have to own your dream. A new dream of mine is being able to bless people and give them the same blessing that I received last year. Affecting the lives of others and making a difference in this world is a new and exciting journey. Helping to change lives and teach leadership principals, mentor-ship, and that love, respect, and dreams are not bad words.
Back to catching you up on whats been going on- April mom and dad came to visit Ralph and I in Oahu, Hawaii! We were so excited they took time out of their days and spent a fantastic 2 weeks with us. During there stay the four of us shot over 3,000 pictures, we flew to 2 islands; The Big Island and Kauai. The four of us saw a volcano, and the Grand Canyon of Hawaii, which was amazing. Kauai is my favorite island for sure. Ralph and I wish it were longer, but we know we will be able to spend so much more time with them and there will be no worries in the future. Fast forward to July and August, I got to spend 41 days traveling to Chicago for a leadership conference and spent 12 days there after visiting Florida for 9 days. I flew back into West Palm Beach and stayed there for 20 days. During my stay in Florida I was blessed to get to photograph many families, and got the chance to capture their family memories with each other. My trip to Florida was awesome, and the support of all of my clients was overwhelming. Also during my Florida stay I got to see my cousin which I hadn't seen in a few years and I met baby Connor. The last day they were in town we went to the beach and it was just like old times. In September one of my very best friends came to Hawaii to visit me and her stay was so nice. We got to go to the Big Island and she saw a volcano for the first time. Right after Lauren's trip then we had 2 more people come and stay with us. Kristy and Mike were with us for 20 days and we toured Oahu with them, and it was a great carefree time with good friends. During the month of October I went back to Chicago for another leadership conference which is where I saw Dr. John Maxwell, which leads me back to the beginning of my post. In between all of my traveling I have been photographing new born sessions, baby sessions, family sessions, seniors, couples, and its been a great year so far! I look forward and expect next year to be just as amazing.
So there you have it, now you are caught up on what has been going on.
