3rd Time's the Charm

I truly can't believe that 2 years has gone by already. Feels like yesterday when I was 23 trying out for the Denver Bronco Cheerleaders for the first time. Man.. looking back I've realized how much I've grown up even in just those 2 years.

Throughout my life I live on the motto that everything happens for a reason. Because I really believe that's the case. If things come into your life or they don't; it's because God has a better plan for you. "If the train doesn't stop at your station than it isn't your train!" haha

I tried out last year {when I was 24} during the midst of the craziest most stressful year of my life; planning my wedding. I wanted to be on the team so bad and felt that I had what it took to make it that year. BUT. Looking back there would have been no way I would have been able to handle both and it really wouldn't have been fair for anyone, myself, the team, my now husband to have to deal with my struggle on balancing it all.

So as I go into my 3rd year now at 25, married, older, wiser, and way more confident. I now know that the 3rd times the charm!

The tryouts process is definitely a unique and fun experience! One that many don't ever get to encounter. So I will take this year for everything I can, give it all I've got, hold nothing back, leave it all on the dance floor, show them I'm worth it and.... LET GO LET GOD! Cause he's the only one who knows the outcome :)

Peace. Love. Happiness.

It's funny how your life can take a total 360 in 1 day! And what seems like something horrible is actually an incredible opportunity for something better.

With the New year- lucky 13 comes a new Journey! 

I embarked on a long awaited journey into starting my own Photography Business. I went to college for my BA in photography.. and I guess I just needed a 2 year break to realize that I was silly to not do what I am meant to do, what I love, a job that fulfills me.

point being....

Blog overload

BLOG OVERLOAD!

Apparently I am pretty bad at updating this blog. Could be cause I have 5 other blogs!

As of lately... I am not at Diablo Media anymore. I am officially starting my own Wedding Photography business. A long awaited and much anticipated business venture that has come into fruition at the perfect time!

I went to school for my BA in photography and after graduating I needed a break from Photography and went into a 8-5 business cubical job. After 2 years of that.. I was ready to rip my hair out, and realized the exact reason why I went to school for an artisitic degree ( to stay far far away from a cubicle job).

A Steamboat Engagement

You Are Here

Just a helpful reminder... YOU ARE HERE... Wherever you are they you are, so be present, be there completely,  take in the whole experience.

Year. You. Were. Born. Wine.

So about a year or so ago I came up with this great idea (or atleast I think its pretty great!) for a gift idea to give your children on special occasions.

So CHECK IT! 

Either before or after.. doesn't really matter.. your baby is born, go out and buy 3+ bottles of wine. Make sure that the year the wine is made is the current year (IE: The year your baby is born). I believe that RED tends to be better suited for this than WHITE. Buts its up to you.

Hold on to these wine bottles and give them to your children as a gift until....

1. Your childs TWENTY FIRST Birthday

2. GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE

3. THEIR WEDDING DAY <3

Not only does it become a special gift to give to your child but it also has become a very NICE bottle of wine.. 20+ years old!
