Personal: One Step at a Time

As of lately my blog has been pretty quiet, way too quiet. 
In January I had more going on than I ever imagined. My husband came home for 2 weeks from Afghanistan in which I took two weeks off from everything! Those 14 days were consumed by everything family and little trips together with our daughter. But now its almost March and I still cant figure out where February went! 
The countdown is on until my husband comes home and I CANNOT wait! 
Until then I just keep adding things onto my ever growing plate.. I am now a student in a Phlebotomy course, and an extreme Pinterester... not sure if thats word, but its a real sport..(or addiction, whatevs!)  


But if youre like me, and already have a full plate but decide to just spoon a little more on.. I know how easily you can be overwhelmed. Just remember to take it little by little, day by day. 
And pray with all of your might! You WILL feel him blessing you.
(Again, I cannot believe it's almost MARCH! )
xoxo!

High Desert Boudoir Photographer

Boudoir: Ashley

So this session was a little out of my norm. Ive never shoot a boudoir session myself but Im gone through millions of images from other photographers and just drool over the gorgeousness! I love the idea of  encouraging someone to feel absolutely flawless in their own skin. 100% confident. And every woman should feel this way. 

Ive gone back and forth on whether or not to share this one tiny bit of info, but I decided why not?! This model is more than just any gorgeous woman, its my big sister. The one that has been my arch nemesis and my best friend. We fight, we cried, we laugh and we love. There is no one that can compare to her. And now that we are both moms, our bond has been able to grow that much stonger. I now understand the beauty of a nap time! She has been supportive of my photography venture since day one and I couldnt imagine anyone else that I would rather have a fun test shoot on! Plus she is absolutely gorgeous. Her and her bright blue eyes! And yes, to answer the notorious question, she is in fact my sister. I know, I know.. We look absolutely nothing alike. Like night and day. But nonetheless, she is gorgeous and I love her more than anything.. which is a hard thing to say after you lived in the same room as someone for most of your life! Im just glad we both made it out alive... 

So for any of you ladies wondering if a boudoir shoot is for you, I have one word of advice. DO IT! Dont wait until you loose just a little more weight, or until you ______ (fill in the blank) Your gorgeous now! Just the way you are.
