Well, it's been quite some time since I last wrote anything here and now seems to be as good a time as any. The months of August and September seem to have flown by quite quickly with all the goings on these days.
The summer has been quite busy for weddings (don't believe me - just ask any photographer). And for me it's been no different. I've attended five weddings personally; but, I believe the last one was one of the most personal importance. You see a good friend of mine was recently married and believe it or not my hubby was the one who officiated the ceremony. Because of this I found myself in a very good place photography wise as I was asked to help with the pictures. Now I am always looking for more experience in this area; and you know what? Doing weddings pictures are the most fun I think next to watching the expressions of children (like in my job - but we'll talk more about that later). Everyone is full of emotions and you never quite know what's going to come next; laughter, tears, hugs etc. Quite fulfilling I must say....
Unfortunately for me I've been experiencing some issues with my legs and I have come to find myself in having to make a most difficult decision. Now thankfully I live in Alberta and I shouldn't have too long before finding something new. This being said though I found it necessary to leave my current job before attaining a new one. This is were my giant leap comes in. You see I am really one who likes to know where I'm going before moving toward this direction and being in a place of not knowing is quite uncomfortable I must say. So my last day of work is coming sooner than I thought and I still do not have a new job to go too. Ouch!
On the other hand though I do believe that my heavenly Father will help me in this area and will find the right job and hold it for me. Some may think I may be a little nuts, but if we don't exercise what we believe in once in a while minimum we can become lazy amongst other negative possibilities. So far I've only spoken of the nervous side of things that my new situation has given me. There is a great positive side though and here it is. I can now go out and do more of my own photography as my body lets me and discover life in a new way again. Like my friends wedding. Even though I'm not feeling able to work in a retail studio environment I have little intention to giving up on a dream. My dream is to help others see the world through my photography and hopefully help people slow down and enjoy life by stopping and smelling the roses they pass by (or in my case look at the photographs of them at least).
So until next time live life well, but try not to allow yourself to get so busy that you aren't enjoying it.
P.S. This is one of those emotional moments I refered to. I love being able to capture the unexpected, don't you?
