Dreams past

Some of you may not know this about me but I love photography.  I have loved it since high school and actually had plans of going to college for photography, unfortunately it never worked out.  That's a story for another day.  Anyways, we have been praying and trying to find ways that I can bring a little extra income home while still being home with the boys.  God put photography on my heart as a way to do it and little did I know He was whispering to Stephen as well.  Stephen had decided to get me a new camera for my birthday.  After he had already bought it I told him about "my" idea.  To open an etsy shop and see if I could sell some prints. I had not idea about the camera and told Stephen I wasn't sure it was possible, with the camera we had but it was worth a try.

Stephen decided to give me my present a few days before my birthday.  It was just the four of us on my parents back porch.  Stephen brought out my present wrapped in his normal wrapping paper, a beach towel.  haha!  When he gave it to me he said, "I love you and I know that you can do anything you put your mind to".  I opened the towel and saw the camera, I started to cry.

So this begins my journey.  My journey towards a dream that was breathed into me in high school, a dream that I thought had passed me by.  I may not be the best photographer but I have a passion for it, that has to count for something.  So check out my shop, tell me what you think, but be kind, remember it's someone's dream you are critiquing.
