For the majority of my life I have been known as the girl who is ALWAYS busy. Sometimes that’s intended to be a compliment. And sometimes…well, you fill in the blank. Maybe I get it from my mother, who always loves to be on the move. Maybe it goes back to my fear of missing out on anything. Or maybe I’m just afflicted! Either way, it’s in my nature to just constantly be going.
In very typical ‘Mary Form,’ 2012 has proven to be a thrilling and VERY busy year for me. I’ve been reflecting on it this past week and am a bit astounded at all the places I have been, the pictures I’ve taken, the people I have encountered and the memories I have made. Now, I know what you are thinking. ‘Uh Mary, I think you may have your calendar wrong because there are still 42 days left in 2012. ‘ Ok. Ok. Relax. I am aware that I still have some time left in the year. However, this past weekend I finished my last wedding of the year and am looking forward to somewhat of a ‘break.’ I still have quite a few portrait sessions lined up for the end of the year and the 2013 calendar is already filling, but after a crazy fall, it will at least feel like a bit of a break. During that time, I am hoping to do some new business planning and have some fun announcements to share with you! In the mean time, I am content to reflect with gratitude at the year behind. When I first bought my camera and started dreaming about my career as a photographer, it seemed like a far off notion. A what if. With the busyness of this past year, I am overwhelmed at the reality that is my dream.
So, in the name of Breathers, Busyness and Dreams that become Reality,
I say, Take Me Back!
