First blog post! I can’t wait to start on this amazing new adventure. I’ve always wanted to do something beautiful and meaningful with my life, something I could be passionate about. I’ve also always wanted to be a mother. If there were a way to combine these two and still be able to afford my groceries, I would absolutely do it. In a heartbeat.

Enter {Traci}. She is my inspiration. My husband and I visited his side of the family in December 2011 and I watched in awe as Traci took Jesse’s pictures. I thought to myself, what an amazing job. She gets to play with babies and capture priceless memories for families every day. A day filled with baby hats, soft blankets, precious tiny smiles and best of all, a day spent at her own amazing studio at home with her boys.

This is it. This combines the beauty, the meaning, the stay at home mom thing, all in one amazing job.

So in one scary but exciting moment. I decided to change the outlook of my life and start down the road to starting and running my own business.

That’s the first step right? Acceptance. I have accepted my new fate.

Step two: I bought me one of these beauties. A Canon Rebel T2i:

[The lovely strap is from {Sassy Straps} she is also brilliant.]

I’ve been learning the in’s and out’s of this amazing camera, soaking up every single bit of information, advice, inspiration and techniques I could possibly find (practiced a ton on my own baby boy). I have 3 newborns on my calendar already and sometimes I lay awake at night, too excited to sleep.

I am in the process of step 3: Launching my business, spreading the word, finding more beautiful babies and capturing those precious moments.

I found this on Pinterest the other day:

And it is so true. I am terrified, and I love it.

So join me on this crazy, exciting, new road my life is taking. I’ll keep you updated!
