Most of my awesome readers know that this blog is really all about love. You know that I write about how much I love my role as Addisyn’s mommy and adore the fact that Steve is the one that God picked to be my husband. When I blog I combine my words and pictures in an attempt to share my love and inspiration with you. If even an ounce of my passion for my daily pursuit of love affects you or inspires you to go home and snuggle up to your loved ones, then the purpose of my blog has been fulfilled. This blog is my personal online journal and I look forward to the day when I can look back on these years and see how much I’ve grown and where life has taken me.
That being said, I realize almost the whole month of November is not well documented on my blog because life has been just plain hectic. But, the truth of the matter is, the chaos was necessary so that my transition into full time mommy hood and photographer would go smoothly. There was a time when I would have never considered giving up a consistent paycheck, but the decision to quit my corporate job to become a mommy/photographer full time has been weighing on my heart for some time now. It was somewhere in this transition that I stumbled upon Pursuit 31.
Pursuit 31 is a group that was created by Karen Stott and it has been a resting place for me with my business and my life. It’s my go-to when I have any struggles with the balance of loving my God, my husband, my daughter, and running my business. If you can imagine a network of over a thousand women who support you in all aspects of your life, that’s Pursuit 31. This group has been a huge blessing to me so I couldn’t contain my utter excitement when Steve agreed to let me travel to Connecticut for three days to meet some of these lovely ladies.
We learned so much about the photography industry, but the most important thing to me was the fellowship of these twelve ladies that were living somewhat parallel lives to me. They could relate to my dreams of being a successful photographer and a great mom and wife. Love was ever-present during the retreat and I am dying to show you the pictures of this “Notebook” themed shoot.
