Thanksgiving Eve

During this week,

leading up to Thanksgiving,

I've reflected alot on my list of

"What am I thankful for?"

And definitely,

on that list is the fact that my

business has finally come to pass,

 and

I love it has much as I thought I would!

So I want to take the time

and express a heartfelt thanks for all

of the fringe benefits

that come along with

Memories Forever After...

My husband...

(Charles...far left)

(pic compliments of my mom)

...the behind the scenes man who is always there to help when needed.

My daughter...



...who has tagged along on a few sessions

and has ventured a few shots herself.

She has a good eye!

~~ 

My mom...

...who knows the gift of encouragement,

and who helps out now, even from afar.

~~

I have some fellow photographers

who I have been able to collaborate with...

 Erica

 Jason

Heather

...and then there's a great group of

photog friends

that I get to have fun with.

I've been thankful for the inspiration that they have all brought

 into my life...each and every one of them.

~~

Also, there's been some awesome assistants... 

 Malia

Taylor

...who have made my life

so much easier.

Thank you!

~~

I'm grateful for the 

wonderful weddings

 I've been a part of...

And my family sessions that

bring joy to me each and every time!!!...

~~

And I'm more than thankful that I can spend so

much time out in God's creation

capturing His beauty...

~~

Yes, I sure did alot of reflection :)

And I'm going to continue on with this

sense of gratitude in the years to come.

Because I realize that

without each of these contributing factors

in my life,

I would not enjoy my

MFA

as much as I do!

I'm thankful!
