Quiet Saturday.

I am a full-time photographer now. Woah. That is weird to write. It’s real. It’s happening. What a blessing!

I need to start writing again, so in celebration of having a Saturday at HOME…yes, home, I am going to attempt a moment of reflection. A moment of silence. A moment alone.

This is not to sound as if I don’t enjoy being at a wedding on a Saturday. In fact, I thrive on capturing the day that someone becomes husband and wife. What a privilege. Huge responsibility. I love it.

But. I am tired. Since April 30th, I have shot 24 weddings, traveled to Jamaica, Philly numerous times, Connecticut, MA, Greensburg, etc…done multiple engagement-family-newborn sessions, and have traveled more than I’ve been home…(which, is a super plus to my job, but it’s not always easy & restful).

Today is a quiet Saturday. It feels foreign, but I know it’s needed.

Oh, and I also moved into a new apartment! I have the top 2 floors in a 4 story house in Beaver. The main floor is a dentist office. Makes it even cooler. :)

There is a lot of reflection to be done. Probably some tears to be shed that should’ve been shed many months ago, but just couldn’t due to my distractions of being busy. Sounds weird, but it’s true. Looking to learn more as a photographer. As a business owner. Wanting to grow deeper in my relationship with God. That’s a priority. Need to buy a new journal. Play my guitar more. Squeeze in frequent visits with my beautiful niece and sisters. Have dinner with my parents once a week.

God has continued to open doors for me to pursue photography. I am willing and ready to take on the challenge…

I just. Need a break.
