Expanding

A lot has happened since my last blog, so here it goes....

First off, and most importantly, Curtis and I had the most wonderful blessing in our life. We had an 8lb baby girl in August who we named Lillian Kae. I fall in love with her more and more as each day passes. It's funny how people say, "you won't know love until you have a child." I think that may be true for some people, but I knew that love with Curtis before we had Lillian. We've become so much closer through the duration of the pregnancy, delivery and last 6 months of Lily's life. Life is pretty great and I try each and every day to not take anything for granted. Life is SO precious. With that said comes the next chapter in my life.

Since I was little, I always wanted to be a graphic designer. I went to college for it and currently hold a job as a graphic designer/photographer. I'm constantly learning how to make and do things better. I think I've always been afraid to do work beyond family and friends for fear it wouldn't be good enough. Now, I feel like taking that plunge into the slightly unknown. I want to start doing work for more people. I just bought a DSLR camera, so I am hoping to expand my photography skills as well. This is such an exciting time for me. The main reason I am doing this is because of my daughter. What kind of mother would I be if I told her to reach for the stars, but then in turn did not do it myself. She is my inspiration, too. Though I am not starting a full fledged business, I do want to expand my portfolio and practice more. So, I am officially putting myself out there.
