Happily Ever After

Okay, so most people know one thing in particular about me...

I love Love. Yes, I love everything about love. I love how it makes my tummy turn flips inside with butterflies. I love that anxious excitement that comes from spending time with that "special someone". I love the world "love." Just say it...luh, uh, v. Doesn't it sound pretty? I love the meaning behind that word. That simply-complex, incapable to understand, makes you want to yell from a rooftop, never felt anything like it before, makes you cry happy tears...feeling. Then, not to mention the history of love. I mean really. God IS love. Has there ever been a more powerful statement? I think not.

I love watching people in love. Their eyes light up. They smile a certain way. They put off this glow that shines from the inside out. Love affects everyone. It can never be restricted or defined. I love to remember things about love. I love to think back about times I've had in the past with people I've loved. I love to sit and sip on warm cocoa to remember lovely Christmas evenings with the people I love. I love to reminisce about times when love meant so many different things. Friendship love, puppy love, first loves...the sparks of hand-holding, the fear of kissing for the first time, the flickering light bulb that brightens when I realized what true love really was. It's just...love.

Well, all of this love-talking makes me wish I had all of those loves documented for me in a little file that I could pull out and remember what made me, well, me. I could show my children someday that love runs deep-and-wide and comes-and-goes. Most importantly, I could recognize from the file when my life changed and I found my everlasting love.

Photography is one of my biggest passions. I used to worry, "What if people don't like my pictures?" or, "What if I get rejected?" However, God has the amazing ability to grant you with talent and loves to pursue. Now, I ask myself, "Why wouldn't someone want to work with a person that would absolutely adore nothing less than to take photographs of them to capture THEIR story. They make the picture...not me! Why wouldn't people like the pictures that I spend hours of effort poured into making them perfect...just for them! If worse comes to worse...everyone gets rejected atProxy-Connection: keep-alive

ome point. It just wasn't meant to be."

Behind my lens, I get to envelop every emotion into one beautiful storyline of pictures to place into a book and help write a fairy tale of love that can be pulled out and shared with all sorts of people. I get to write the story for the world to see and bring love to life.

A picture's worth a thousand words, but a love story is priceless.
