My One Year Anniversary!

They say the first year of business is the hardest and boy, they weren't kidding! In the past 12 months, I have learned soooo much, because I've been incredibly tireless in my efforts. Seriously, I haven't had a day off in a month. haha

Complaints aside, I've been so blessed. When I decided earlier last year to leave the military for different things, I had no clue what I was getting myself into. I honestly thought that starting a photography company meant

1. Taking pictures
2. Making money

They (I don't even know who would constitute as "they") completely fibbed. So when I had my first difficult client, I almost closed up shop, not realizing that this is a part of growing as a business and as a person. I stuck with it and this year, I'm booked weeks out, with weddings on the books and repeat clients coming back! It's incredibly gratifying and while I try my best to be modest about my success, I would like to take this quick second to thumb my nose at those who thought I was crazy and say

I DID IT.

As a beautiful example, I've made a collage of images I took within the first few months of my company:



Now:









Okay, now that that is out of the way, I'd like to thank you, you who is reading and hopefully smiling. You're probably either new to my work or you've been a cheerleader since day one, but either way, I adore you. You've taken the time to read my blog, which of course, makes me feel uber special! :)

Now on to the good stuff!!! Here's what we're doing! A MASSIVE GIVEAWAY! Each day, a new item will be up for grabs, whether you're a mainlander or Hawaii local, you have the opportunity to win whatever is available! Starting this Thursday morning, check in for the first item!

How It Works:

Each item will have it's own day for a giveaway. In order to qualify to win this item, you have to do three things

- "Like" us on Our Company Facebook

- Send your friends to our Facebook, have them "like" us on FB and post on the wall that you sent them. Every friend that you send = one extra bid on the item! 3 friends = your name in the running four times!

- Finally, post on the blog, telling me that you want to win the item! You'll have to do this for each item you want, so I can be sure only people who want to win an item has a chance.
