Reflection - Chicago Area Photojournalist

I had another blog prepared for today, but it didn't reflect what I was thinking. Instead I'm presenting you with one image that is true to my state of mind right now. As I reflect on where I've been and where I'm going with my photography, I am excited as to the opportunities beyond the horizon.

I shoot mostly for myself, and right now I am happy with that. As a wife and a SAHM of three, there is little that I have or do for myself. This is my one outlet for expression and creativity, I shall hold nothing back. I will take risks and stretch my creative limits as far as they will go... why not? I am my own boss in my photo world. I have only to answer to my high expectations.

Thank you again for joining me. I hope you check back once a week to see where our journey takes us.

Milestones - Chicago Area Photographer

This month I am celebrating for two reasons. 1) My gift from God, Baby J turns 2. 2) I have been blogging for 1 yr, that's 52 Sunday night posts.

Since I am celebrating 1 yr of Sunday night blogs I have decided to change it up a bit. Starting next week I will move my blog to Monday nights. Look for my first Monday night blog July 18th.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank you for checking out my blog. :) It's been a fun year of learning and adventure for me. Thank you for accompanying me on my photo journey. I am excited to see where the 2nd yr takes us.
