Finding Joy in a Season of Loss

I’ve been learning more about this concept, that happiness and sadness can co-exist. And the same seems to be true for joy and grief.

To say that this year has been a roller coaster ride would be an understatement. I don’t think there is a single person on the entire planet that has not experienced some form of loss over this past year, whether it’s their income from their job or business, a loved one, a pet, normalcy, celebrating a milestone with family and friends. None of us have been pardoned.

I Survived My First Year

Some days are beyond overwhelming.  The possibilities are endless – the options as vast as the sea.  Where do you begin?  And most importantly, what’s right for you?

I don’t know that I have ever had to trust my instincts more when making decisions and be more goal oriented while simultaneously surrendering to the process.

Our Branding Photo Session

I have never done a branding photo session and I honestly didn’t even know that was a thing until I did one! What an amazing, fun experience.

Shortly after I started working on my branding with the wonderful team at Thoughtwell Creative Co. I had the idea to contact my photographer friend - Ashley. I wanted to get some photos that could fill my website and future social media pages and it was important that they were in line with the mood of my brand.

My project manager, Kayla, and good friend Celeste helped me come up with several ideas for different types of images that we could get from this shoot! I needed a diverse amount of pictures that could be used to fill the website, social media and for my full page ad in the Dote magazine Weddings Volume 3. We came up with a list of ideas for types of shots, props, attire and the overall concept for the whole photoshoot.
