I got a meeting request today that I set for myself.

It forced me to stop for a moment, just a moment or two in time, and breathe. Enjoy. Live.

Sometimes I forget that this is my one chance at life and although I am so thankful I am able to do what I love, I still need to always remember that amid my to do lists, is life. Enjoy it. Cherish it. Breathe in. Breathe out.

gorgeous sunsets make me happy.

As we were leaving the religions ceremony on Sunday night from Erum and Aman's wedding, I stumbled upon these electric colors in the sky. Even the street lamp added to the fire. Sunsets make my heart happy.

Happy Thursday :)

taking care of our world.

01.16.10

Photography is a powerful thing. I feel it's purpose is not only to beautify the world by capturing things that are most precious, but also to educate and make the world aware of some of the most tragic occurrences. I have been reading the news more thoroughly this morning and my heart is breaking for the victims in Haiti. From the comfort of my living room, I have absolutely no idea how they may feel and how their lives have been forever changed. Photography gives me an image, a picture of the horror that is occurring. Although, I wish I could jump on a plane and help, I know that is not realistic. But I can give, give to others that are able to reach out and make a difference.

Here are some ways to help:

OR

Donate $10 to the Red Cross's earthquake relief efforts by texting "HAITI" to 90999 (you'll see the charge on your next cell phone bill).

Thanks for reminding everyone how we can help Julie! $10 can really go a long way if we all contribute.

a new day.

01.12.10

Today I woke up excited. I've been dragging myself around these last couple of weeks trying to get over the post-holiday blues and today I woke up cured. The sun was shining brighter than yesterday and the day seemed filled with possibilities.

I have been starting to take a pen to paper lately to write down my goals for 2010. If you don't physically write down goals every year, you need to start. There is something about that physical act, seeing it written down in ink that forces me to make them come true. For me, my goals surround being true to who I am, continuing to grow as a photographer in any way possible and doing whatever I do that day to my fullest. I'm holding these goals close to my chest and keeping them hot on my mind. I will make them come true this year and maybe (just MAYBE) I will surpass them all. A girl can dream, right?

What are your goals for 2010?

And because a post is always better with a picture, this is where all the action happens for me...

good for you Julie! I'm a strong believer in writing your goals down. I completed a vision board on New Years Eve; I can't wait to see what this year holds for us. All the best and good luck! :-)

looking back - best of 2009 II

On to weddings, my favorite topic!!! I have had so much fun with my couples this year, I seriously couldn't ask for more amazing brides. I feel like they are partnerships - I am able to share as much knowledge with them as I have about weddings and they trust me enough to do crazy things like laying in fields or lay on an anonymous person's boat... I promise, I have more stories than you want to hear.

There were so many pictures to choose from, I have barely scratched the surface. Here are some of my favorites - some new, some you may have seen before. Enjoy!

Makes me smile :)
