Honest to Blog

Ok, here goes. I know that I have been promising historical proportions of mad crazy updating on the bloggerooni and I have set out nearly each night to accomplish it. I know that my heart has been beyond excited to share with you the images and experiences of the past three weeks as they have been SOOO dynamic, beautiful and meaningful but I have found that I have a weakness which I could easily label computer difficulties but instead the truth...it's called my passion for everything. Finding the time when all your good is knocking on your door, is extremely difficult.

The time has come for transformation in our company which ripples into every existing corner. We have agreed upon a new, vibrant logo and a fitting name. We are in the process of switching over the website, invigorating this old blog, and if you can imagine something that has to be re-designed you can bet I have it on my to do list. And of course, we have had weddings each weekend since early March and a bevvy of new clientele over the past few weeks. AMEN!!!

Casey and I have been blessed beyond measure this past spring and early summer. Not only with fabulous clients and bountiful work, but amazing transformations in our business life, home life, family life, and love life. Oh yeah, in being a husband and wife team it is incredibly important to shine some focus on your love life. We were recently interviewed by the television show, GET MARRIED on Lifetime about that very subject and other wedding related topics. When speaking of marriage, work and your passion it all makes sense to us as we have always put our marriage at the center of everything. If our marriage needs tending we better tend it as everything good will follow suit. There is much prayer but just as much focus and work to keep the marriage strong and the love in your hearts that same as when you met. Casey was recalling the moment that I transformed from friend to love interest in his mind and I had complete chill bumps as he spoke and tears came so quickly. It truly only takes a moment and when you know that your love is real you must protect it and treat it like gold.

All that loveliness being taken care of, it has made our hearts and minds more open to our amazing family and by sheer, natural extension our UNBELIEVABLE clients...now, new friends.

So many people have asked us how on earth we can develop personal relationships with our clients, to which we respond, how on earth can we not? We are invited voyeurs, documentarians in their most personal, vulnerable and beautiful moments of their lives and to be clinical in any way would be denying the miraculous nature of these very people and events. Our lives are enriched by the sheer interaction with people who love and appreciate the art of photography as much as they love and appreciate the milestones of their existence. It is a magical blessing, a calling that we cannot ignore and we are humbled in the prescence of such constant love and vision.

There is no other life which we wish for and no other inspiration but the amazing women and men who commission our work. And there is no other feeling that we want all people to embrace in this world but love. Between the Fourth and all of the unbelievably heartfelt weddings we have attended recently, my soul is simply plum full. I just want to leave you with a quote from one of the greatest living inspirations to have walked the planet, Mother Teresa.

"Works of Love are alway Works of Peace."

"Intense Love does not Measure-It Just Gives"

God bless you where you sleep, work, eat and breathe. May you have a wonderful week full of joy.
