Did you ever take a look at your life and were just overwhelmed with the fact that you are so blessed? This morning I took some time to browse through my website and was humbled once again by the incredible clients I have been able to work with over the past 4 years. And I didn't even update it yet with my 2009 favorite images.
63 weddings, countless babes & families, seniors, etc. How did I get the honor of meeting all of you? I am so thankful for each one of you that have entrusted special moments and days of your lives to me. I am forever changed by every single storyline. Honestly, even when I glance over your names in my contact list, certain images pop into my mind. Yes, I have given you the treasure of memories frozen in time, but you have done the same for me.
Oh the stories I could tell...wedding cakes falling over, wailing newborns with no bladder control, stubborn toddlers, rainy outdoor wedding days, finding beauty in places often overlooked, crying tears of joy behind my lens when you weren't looking. There are endless accounts I could give. But the one thing that each of you have in common is the deepest need to celebrate. Love, family growth, accomplishment, success, innocence, joy, passion...these are the emotions I want you all to remember when you look at photographs I have given to you. This is the deepest satisfaction of my job.
Many of you have become more than just clients and are interested in our family's story of adoption. We have been approved and waiting for our second baby to join our family now for about 6 weeks. There have been cases available but just not the right one for us yet. So we continue to pray and wait for Baby Martin to join us when the time is right. Some of you have asked if I will continue with photography as our family grows. I cannot predict the future, but I know that the LORD has given me a passion for this profession and already have 18 weddings booked for 2010! We have parents and two regular babysitters for Malakai on wedding days. I believe that if I am called to do this, then there will be grace to cover me in the busy season.
For now, I'm enjoying a much needed break, designing wedding albums, being a mom to a growing toddler, updating my website, editing less, laughing more, loosening my schedule, and feeling refreshed. So, thank you all for a great 2009 season. I am looking forward to another great one next year too. There are so many more memories to be made!
