homeless & suffering from an identity crisis.

okay, so it sounds a lot worse than it really is.

currently i'm changing website hosts and re-branding my look (again), so i am website-less for the time being. in the meantime, my facebook page and this blog will have to do all the talking and "selling" for me. it's going to be great, i assure you. most importantly, it's going to be more me, rather than what i think it should be.

once again, we've met the end of one season to be greeted by another. as the weather is getting cooler, so is my schedule - things are definitely starting to slow down, which is a bitter sweet feeling. my spring/summer/fall has been chaotic, to be say the least. but it's the type of chaos that i've been able to control and jerk back by the collar of shirt like a child if i feel like it's getting too far away from me. it's like i've trained it to work. i learned how to make my schedule work around me rather than me working around my schedule, which i'm proud of. sounds like a silly concept, but then again, you haven't seen my calendar. the dots that mark dates that i'm busy would overwhelm you; intimate you even.

a big thank you goes out to the wonderful brides i worked with and befriended. i wasn't lying during our consultation when i said we'd be come best friends by the end of this! i mentioned in my last post that i felt i had an army of brides in my corner storming the Facebook news feeds by storm, showing off their images and praising my work. in a nutshell, the support & friendship has been amazing and deeply appreciated & cherished.


i'm currently finishing up my 7 wedding-in-a-row stretch and i'm happy to say i survived triumphantly [though exhausted] without the feeling that i'm over my head. that's how i know i'm made for this. granted, i would have been A LOT easier if i were to be able to do this full time, but i'm not there yet.

[soon though...]

when my wedding "break" begins on november 6th, i'm excited to pick up new projects to expand my portfolio, keep my skills sharp, meet new clients who ultimately become friends... and continue to pray to God for no bridezillas or mothers-from-hell for wedding season 2012.
