It's the beginning of the year. A time where everyone reflects on their past year and peps himself/herself up for the upcoming one. I am thankful that there are moments like this where I can reflect on where I have been and where I am going. It's probably something that needs to be done way more than once a year.

It is crazy to me that I am writing my first blog post on my photography website. At the beginning of 2013 I had no desire to be a photographer or have a website, and now I look where I am. I didn't even own a digital camera until this June, and now I am here pursuing a career with it. 2013 was full of opportunities to grow, and I am thankful for each one. Nashville has surrounded me by so many creative, inspiring people and so many chances to expand my creativity and hone in on the inspiration that I have because of this community.

2014 has a lot of promising opportunities on its horizon, and I cannot wait to see what they are, and I can't wait to show you what they were.
