I have been writing everyday (minus about 10-20 days) on this blog since April 16, 2011. I did the math and that’s 844 days! Wow!
So, we celebrate with the first picture I took for the blog!

So! 600 days ago, I had the idea for this blog. I am so happy to say that I have only missed about 15 days. It’s been great to have an idea, work at it and see it succeed. I’m so blessed by all of you who follow my blog regularly. It means a lot! Hopefully it will carry on for many more days!
Let us not forget my first day, up-side down Jennilyn picture. 🙂

Today I did something I have never really done. I went for a run. On my own….
You may not think this is a huge deal…but I have had such a struggle with running. I have a problem with pride and it’s hard for me to do something and not be the absolute best right away. Running falls into that category! I have been running with my dear friend Kristi but I haven’t just gone out and ran…on my own….
Today, I did. 🙂 I took this screen shot from my RunKeeper activity:
Six years ago today, I photographed my first wedding. Two very good friends asked me to capture their very special day. I wholeheartedly (and more than likely tearfully) said yes. Half way through editing the pictures (all 3,000 of them!) I remembering rethinking the decision. How can people do this for a living? This is so much work! But then, I finished editing, put the albums together and gave them to the couple. The feeling of accomplishment, of capturing a full day of joy and magic…the happiness in their faces as they looked at the pictures…the nice finished product…I was hooked!
As of the writing of this blog, I have photographed 26 weddings. With every click of the shutter…with every new first kiss…with every tear shed…I fall more deeply in love with this wonderful joy of a job. Even after so many weddings, so many years of photographing, I still get weepy when the wedding march starts or the groom sees the bride for the first time.
I can’t wait to see what the next six years hold in store!
