Back to School

So it has been a long journey for me and it is not over. After taking out a loan, quitting my job so I could pursue a career in nursing, 5 years later, Here I Am! I took Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Microbiology, to name a few and of course PHOTOGRAPHY.

Taking the Photography class confused me a lot. Now what was I really supposed to do? Go the secure route and become a nurse or follow my new found passion. So I continued to take classes AND pictures. After completing my prereqs over a year ago, applying to 3 schools, and being denied admission to all 3, I just knew I was supposed to pursue photography full time. But, for some reason that just didn't sit right in my mind. I talked to friends, talked to family, talked to strangers, and talked to God. It's amazing how He sends the right people to say what you need to hear at the perfect time..."Do both! Just do one now and then do the other later. You have favor." How simple!! And then just like that, when I decided to let go and let God, I was accepted to one of the best Nursing Programs in California! Favor! Business also picked up with photography and I finally had peace of mind. FAVOR! I am going to do BOTH!! So here I am, FOCUSED, ready to start nursing school...prepared to put my artistic passion on the back burner and put my humanitarian passion on the front burner.

I am a Mother, Friend, Student, Teacher, Daughter, Sister, Woman, Lover, Dreamer, Believer, Artist and Photographer. And now, a Nursing student.

So I just got back from the most amazing trip...

The experience was awesome, from drinks by the pool to the disco at night....from horseback riding to jumping in the ocean in the wee hours of the morning....from being alone to being surrounded by family and unexpected love from perfect strangers. Simply unforgettable...Gracias y Te amo!

Going back and looking at old photos is like Christmas in the summer time! As my eye continues to grow and change, it is wonderful to discover what I did not see before. Jamila is still one of my most favorite shoots! Here is a rediscovered photo from her session.

Savannah Scott says Get Happi

Savannah shared her beautiful fun spirit with me while I was in Hawaii. She is more than a woman...she is a business woman (real estate), a mother, a grandmother and a great friend. She lives the Aloha spirit and shares it with all that have the pleasure of meeting her. Thanks Savannah, it was A LOT of fun!!
