I have over a year’s worth of pictures and words (both personal work and client work) to share that have been hanging around my heart and harddrives.  Sometimes I feel (self imposed) guilt for putting my business on the back burner.  I love, love, love photography and feel incredibly thankful that I can call this work.  I have (and think I always will have) a lot of goals and ambitions for this little business of mine.  Though I have done some work this year, it is significantly less than what I am used to.  Sometimes that makes me feel sad.  But when it comes right down to it, I do not regret taking a step back or neglecting this blog for one second.  I didn’t intend to take an extended maternity leave but moving across the country at four months pregnant facilitated that in a way that never would have been possible if we hadn’t moved.  I was forced to slow down, take some time off and be more selfish than I have ever been. The decision to move felt scary, like horrible timing and quite honestly CRAZY.  It certainly has been hard and challenging and I miss people back home a ton, but overall, it has turned out to be an incredible blessing (indeed I am ever the optimist).  I will never have another year like this again and this time with my girl is priceless (SO CLICHÉ BUT I CAN’T HELP IT!!).  I don’t know what the future looks like but I do know that I like this new style of family first, business second.  One year ago today was my due date and as we approach the one year mark of becoming parents (!!!!!!!) I have been extremely nostalgic and decided it was time to finally get some of these images posted.  First up, just a few belly photos…We’ll get through these quickly since the actual baby is significantly more adorable… 🙂
