This is what happens when I have no internet....

I think about stuff! :o) There is so much involved in that... where do I begin? So last night I was catching up on my Rangefinder reading (photo magazine) and realized that in 8 years my photography has evolved so much. But that I have soooo many people to thank and recognize for helping me{even if you didn't realize it}!

My mentor, with whom I worked with for my first 2-3 years, Rip Rittell {photographer in Zachary}. He is an awesome photographer and just a good, good guy! When I left to open my own studio {5 years now} he was so supportive and came over to "check it out", gave me a few ideas and I ran with it! Even though I have my own "style", I still see a bit of him in my work.

When I was "on my own", I sought after information on the internet and found some lovely photographers that were eager to help if I had questions or I just looked at their images and taught myself the lighting that I love now!

My cousin Courtney {A fantastic wedding photographer if you ever need one} was a beautiful inspiration for me with her "art". I see how much she has grown and how much she has to offer with her work. I love her and hope she continues to do well. Thanks Courtney, you have helped me in many ways that you may never know! :o)

Last, but not least, my husband is a great teacher. He reads the manuals and hooks me up with the details! He is a great supporter of everything that I want to do. Couldn't do it without him. Thanks Don, I love ya dude!

Not only could I have not done this without the support from my family and friends, I could not have done it without my super customers. Thanks to you all!

So, now that I have opened my heart {tonight must be a blue moon}, please understand it wasn't to pat myself on the back, but to thank the one's that have helped me so much in my journey to succeed. My goal is to continue to grow and hope you are with me to watch it happen!
