HAPPY AUGUST 7th!
Today is my birthday!! And I’m turning 44. Happy Birthday to Me! It’s a bit of a surreal feeling thinking I am ‘this’ old. How can I be officially in my mid-forties?!? How it could be 26 years since I graduated from high school, 20 years since I started my adventures in Japan, 13 years since I got married and almost 10 years since I held Hailey in my arms for the first time? The years do indeed pass by with a flurry. Each day may bring a different challenge and emotion from the one previous but overall I have filled all those years with adventure and love and friends and family and creativity. And for that I am happy and grateful and content.
Photography has been a big part of half those years. I took lots of pictures of ranch animals and pets when I was young but my love for it and dedication to it grew substantially as I started travelling in my early twenties. To help celebrate all these years, I thought of 44 reasons why now is the perfect time for you to get a photo shoot done with this “no-getting-around-being-mid-40s-anymore” lady!
