Capturing life

         It's amazing how time flies so fast. It was only a few years ago I graduated from the University of West Florida to earn my Bachelors Degree in Arts-- Studio Arts. However, that's not where we learn how to live life. We do when we communicate, interact, and socialize with the outside world. In a week, I will be turning a year older. Birthdays always lead me to contemplating about my life. Doesn't it do that for you? I'm sure after finishing an education, we all come to an analysis of our lives...how far we've gone, and how much we have accomplished. Are we in the place we'd hope we'd be in 10 years ago?

       As far as my life (and the few years in comparison to the wise), I don't think it can get any better. We always strive hard to improve, to become the best, and to earn more riches. I'm not saying that that is bad. I admire those who have motivation, integrity, and a goal set out, but I am so happy with where I am at today. I have a loving husband (of 5 months today), good friends, and a caring family. Most of all, I have faith and God that has been with me throughout these years. I am thankful for all of this and more. I believe it is important for us to look at the good in life and focus on that. Otherwise, how else would we develop as an individual?

   With this, I decide to capture life. It adds a sense of fulfillment and joy to have a purpose in life. I've been so blessed to have captured people's joining in marriage, moments of engagement, and the creation of life. What more can you ask for? Business can be tough-- particularly editing which takes about 90% of my work flow...but I'll always love capturing YOU at this time. Clicking the shutter on the camera (in addition to analyzing the appropriate settings of that DSLR) is my favorite moment.

Here are a few photos captured not too long ago. Enjoy! :)
