YOU inspire ME!

With all of the things I had to do this Holiday Season.. posting just got past me. So, for this year I've decided to make it part of my business to post more of what I do on a weekly basis. Deep in the crevices of my computer lay many pictures that have never been seen but by the client themselves. Many of you who ask, "is there anything new at Whimsy this week?, I need to go to the site"! thankfully, I get it.. I obviously need to post more if you are asking for it. Right? There are many of you who stalk (in the most friendly way) my blog just for the pure enjoyment of the pictures. Some have confessed that they like the stories that are told about the people whom I capture. Some come here to show a friend or family member my site. I'm not a boastful person and never seek to toot my own horn thus I have (quite honestly) been amazed at those who find my writing special at all, as I have a habit of putting double periods at the end of sentences and running them into east creation. I only try to go back and correct the double periods and run-ons for the sake of my kids and perhaps a teacher that may look and think that they have an idiot for a mother..

Truth be told.. YOU inspire ME! to be my best.. to bring it on every shoot.. to find the something different in your smile or laugh.. to find the spark in your story.. to erase the "I don't look good in pictures", from your vocabulary.. to put a little bit of happy in your day when you see my images (if that is at all possible).. YOU inspire ME!! and for that I am grateful, peaceful and happy.. So, go ahead and come back often this year as I will be here more often just to but it down as I see it and perhaps in the process put a little smile in your heart.

And since a photographer's post is just not a post without a picture I thought I'd kick off the new year with this: as I am like most women and 99% of the time do not like to see myself in pictures (just keeping it real).. I thought I'd start this year off with Eric and I so that you can get to know me as I get to know you..

Eric and I went with some friends before Christmas and drove through Napa Valley, California.. here is one that our friend William, who, as you can see, works things out with a camera in his hand, took of us.. (I know it is a run-on..)

Although Eric would rather have teeth removed than be on my blog I have to let you know that HE is the LOVE of my life.. the ANCHOR of my ship.. the KEEPER of my heart.. and truly one of the most awe inspiring people I have ever met.. I'm so glad to have him in my life and I thank God for him each and every day..

This one makes me smile..



more from Napa later..I'll be back soon..
