Me…honestly

I have to be honest. I didn’t start the new year on a good foot. I was in a bit of a funk and if truth be told I still have some funk-y kinda days. There are quite a few reasons why I think I have good and bad days but I won’t bore with that on  here and if you really want know then let’s chat over coffee. I’m an open book when I have a good coffee in hand or yummy meal in front of me. ;) What I’m focusing right now are on the good days and how to make them appear more often than the bad days. I realize exercise makes a big difference for me so I have to get back to running which is so hard after not doing it for a few weeks. I also simplified my Facebook page which has been so liberating! Keeping contact with only real friends, photographers and clients is so nice. Bye-bye random people. However, I still have Twitter and I love it. I won’t get rid of that. I’m also itching for a photo shoot and sadly my first wedding of the year is not until May but I’ve definitely been challenged to go out and shoot for me. Whether that’s my kids, scenery or trees I need to keep the creative juices flowing because truth be told the juices aren’t flowing to strong lately. Those are just a few things but like I said I won’t bore you. I’m fighting hard to be a good mom, wife, friend and photographer and it’s a battle I will NOT lose. Anyway, I still have good and not-so-good days (more good days then bad) but I’m focusing on what brings me those good days and not fixating on all the things I’m not… right now.

Last week I was blessed and was able to buy a new camera body and lens that I have been wanting for quite some time. I LOVE it and can’t wait to shoot my first wedding of the year with them. On Saturday our family along with Carson’s parents went out for breakfast and a walk downtown. On our way home the clouds were lingering on one of the mountains near our home and I knew I wanted to photograph the trees. If you didn’t already know have a thing for trees. So off we went chasing down the fog before it cleared away. Something about the fog and trees reminded of how I have been feeling the last few weeks.
