500

Way back in July of 2008 I decided to take the plunge and start blogging. I created a name, did some minor layout changes and BOOM had a blog. I had no idea what I was going to blog about {I was entering my final year of photography school and, let’s be honest, still very much a newbie}. I was all about Photoshop actions and filters, crazy camera tilts…yikes. It’s pretty awesome.

In June of 2010 I updated my blogging platform to this particular ProPhoto layout. The look has changed a bit over the years; the content has matured, the images have slowly but progressive gotten better…and I’ve come to calling this place my photography journal. Friends and strangers check in on me here time to time as I share about the business, my travels and my life. It’s truly just amazing for me to have this teeny little corner of the interwebs to call my own.

And today, oh glorious wonderful today marks my 500th post on this blog. Seriously–isn’t that nuts! That means that over the past nearly-four years, I have logged in 500 times. I have sat down for some Qwerty action and words have strung together to form sentences. I’ve shared, celebrated, complained and have been in complete awe on this blog. I appreciate you coming by and am looking forward to the next 500 posts!

Also, I’d like to throw a shout out to one beautiful little girl and one fantastically crazy woman today.

🙂

Miss MiaRae Elizabeth ~ Auntie loves you so, so much…your enchanting smile brightens up anyone’s day. I love your painful-shyness and the heart-melting way you lovingly curl up in my lap. Happy 3rd birthday, sweet girl!

And to my awesome Nans…though you no longer sport the red hair, my friends still pick you out by your gold shoes. Your zest for life and devotion to family has inspired me for years. I hope you have a wonderful birthday celebrating all your young years-here’s to many, many more.

And a very big thanks to all who have supported me through these crazy years of starting a business!! It’s been a nonsensically-wonderful ride and I appreciate all the kind words, tips, high fives, support, love, connections and friendship we’ve shared over these years.

Here’s to the next 500!!
