i took this photo above on Oct 21, 2009 for my very first post as a Shutter Sister. i clearly remember how excited i was then. now, almost exactly 2 years to the very day, i am taking another leap on my journey as a shutter sister. Saturday i fly to California (!!!!!!!!) where i will gather with the sisters in person to prepare for the very first Shutter Sister Camp, a photography retreat on the coast of Monterrey. to say i feel like the luckiest girl ever is an understatement. i am filled with nerves of all sorts. my mind spins when i try to concentrate on what the next week will hold. i want to embrace it all, put all my fears aside, and leap into the unknown.
so i say goodbye for now as there is so much to do to get ready, and once i am ready i want to just be with my little family and soak up all i can in hugs and love to tide me over for when i am away. (i will miss them terribly. this is the longest we have ever been apart.)
i guess my message is this, never forget to dream big. find your passion and follow it. you never know where it may lead you. i am living breathing leaping proof of this. 5 years ago i started taking a lot of pictures. 2 years ago i became a shutter sister. 2 days from now that journey is taking me a coast i have never ever been, to meet women who inspire so many. i am blessed.
have a wonderful week, i SO look forward to coming back home and sharing this crazy amazing adventure with everyone.
xo!
