“Every time I hear that song, I go back” – Personal

So I’m in one of those moods… maybe it’s the time of year, maybe it’s the lack of sleep, maybe it’s just me being weird. Basically, I’m in that type of mood where I remember things and want to cry. In a good way. :-)
I think that’s part of what I love so much about...

These photos do evoke wonderful memories.

I am so grateful that you do have a passion for photograhy to capture these precious moments.

I’ve always been a lover of photos, of people especially. I like to go to people’s homes and look at the photos that they have around there house and in albums even if I don’t know all the people in the photos. It still does something wonderful in my heart.

Keep up the great work and passion.

I love these pictures, and the memories of that time in our lives. It reminds me of God’s goodness, how much he’s blessed me through our friendship. Kim excited for all our future pictures & memories!

Escalate 2010 – Personal

Sean and I were fortunate enough to go to Escalate in Newport Beach yesterday and we were so blessed by it. It’s so refreshing to hear these photographers that I know I personally look up to so much, be so honest and upfront about their business. I loved how the whole feel was about embracing...

Love! And yes, I can relate. It’s funny to me that people, myself included, can be so afraid of being real, of admitting we don’t have it all down. Who really ever has it all down?
I’m so glad you had the opportunity to go to Escalate. I heard some amazing speakers/photographers these last 2 days! Now let’s put their sound advice into action! :)

Brooke – so glad you got to go to Escalate in person! Sounds like there was a lot of photo love! I had some trouble with the online feed, but I loved the Q&A after Jasmine’s message (my meeting wrapped up before the end) and I got to see part of Jessica Claire’s presentation too… what a pair of cuties!

Oh Brooke, its so hard to read your post. You are talented, and you are so on your way! I remember turning 30 was a big turning point for me because I felt that the world started taking me seriously. I finally had the “experience” to make me bonafide and that translated into self confidence. I think feeling sure of yourself is the hardest hurdle. And even after all these years, I still get nervous. Some shoots don’t have the right energy, some are amazing. Its work, its creating and sometimes it just flops.But when its right, you know it and your experiences will begin to lead you to take more chances and find those perfect moments. Learn from the ups and downs and you’ll go far.

I totally can relate… I too am afraid of not being good enough! But I am grateful for the encouragement of others and for kind words! Thank you so much for the kind comment on my blog!!! You are doing great! Don’t fear, have faith!

I’m so glad I read this. To see you putting yourself out there in such a real and vulnerable way is so inspiring. I too see people who just seem like they’re so “lucky” (to quote jerry ghionis from yesterday) and it’s easy to forget that they’ve worked extremely hard to be where they are. I feel discouraged so many times and I come across such talent that I feel completely undermined. But the more we go through, and the more we practice, the better we’ll become. You are well on your way, and for the record i think you are MORE than good enough. I think you’re SO GREAT! =) PS. Love love love that verse.

Brooke, you SOOOO get it!! You are a true blessing from God to us.

Just a little of this and that – Anytime

I went to the Olivenhein Grove Sale a few weeks ago and I was so amazed at all of the unique treasures!
I absolutely love antiques and all things vintage. I’m such a girly girl when it comes to things like that… you know, buttons, little cute details, stuff with a story… all of the above...

I absolutley LOVE the picture of Erin and her bounty! She should use that for an ad or something. Also, I want to go to this flea market place, it looks awesome. I love looking at all these trinkets. So pretty. You make it look like a kingdom far away in a fairy tale.
