Just a little reflecting…
This morning my 4 year old Diego & my 2 year old Victor were sooo excited to find bunnies in one of our bathtubs… Maybe I should explain that a little. My father has lots of animals on his farm, including bunnies & a friend of mine is borrowing some bunnies for spring sessions that she is doing with children. So, last night I came into the house wondering where in the world to house 2 bunnies until I could get them to her today - the bathtub seemed to make sense. So, the boys were super excited to see the bunnies… which made me pull some of the old pictures I have of Diego as a baby with some bunnies. And it just makes me smile & remember why I am doing this. 7 years ago I started working at a photography studio in Raleigh, then when I got pregnant with Diego, I realized it was a good time to leave the studio… and I really didn’t want my own business. So, I just started little children shoots - one of my first shoots was called “Bunnies & Buttercups” - you LOVE that egg I made for the shoot, don’t you?! haha… I didn’t really love children sessions, but found out I loved photographing couples & chemistry. And a little thing I loved, got bigger & bigger and developed into this wonderful thing. And then it got busier & busier until I really had no idea how to manage the busy-ness/business.
Anyways, now that I’m re-cooperating & reflecting & getting more educated on the business side of things, I’m remembering why this “evoke” thing even exists… I got so busy & overwhelmed last year, it made me more sad than happy. But I’m breathing again & have learned A LOT. A LOT. A WHOLE LOT. I really care about this & I really care about my clients - but I got too busy to invest what I wanted to last year. So, thank you to everyone that hung in there with me! And I’m so happy to be doing this… and I’m excited again to re-focus on the love of it & keep it all in moderation so madness doesn’t strike my brain again! I’ve got some lovin’ to catch up on!
This makes me belly laugh… I can’t believe this was only 4 years ago!!!
If you want something super cute like this for your child(ren), contact Beth because she’s getting some cute bunnies today!

You are such an amazing woman! I love that you are getting a break and falling in love with your art again. That makes me happy. Is there any way that you would consider being my mentor in the future if I decide to go down this path?
That idea is on the table, by the way. 
And your recent photo posts are spectacular!

It will probably sound strange but I’m so proud of you. You are so talented and motivated. Keep up all the good work!
