this almost made me cry...



i LOVE this....

such a GREAT day...

i like to dream.
always have.
always will.



I like to dream about the future...
jobs i would like,
places I want to travel to,
people I want to meet,
dogs I want to have,
my future family...
I could go on FOREVER.

As of late, my thoughts have been directed toward careers.
AKA
"Post Graduation Life".
What am I going to do?
Where am I going to live?
Do I want to go to grad school?
How will I make money?
Will I ever get married?

As I'm pondering these questions of life...
Another thought hits me.
What do I want to do?

and then the dreaming starts...
i want to:
write music
do hair
work at a gym
start PHOTOGRAPHY


the more I think about it
the more I can see myself doing
photography.
YES.
i love this idea...


So I did something a little crazy--
I started emailing EVERY photographer in the Utah county, in hopes to get some response...a job-shadow, small internship, an opportunity to email some questions, or to have someone give me advice on what I should do next. I knew I was aiming high but i figured WHY NOT right?!? 

Within the week I actually got a response from...duh duh duh
REBEKAH WESTOVER.
I kind of died.


This woman is truly incredible and has such an amazing talent at photography. She emailed me back asking if I would want to come help with a couple photo shoots to see how she runs things and to ask whatever questions I had. Ummm YES I believe I can totally make room to do that in my schedule!

It was AMAZING! I had such a fun time with Rebekah and the cute family she had a session with. It hit me right then and there that I HAVE to do something like this with me life. I HAVE to do something I love. I know it might not make the most money, I know that it may not seem "realistic" with a graduate degree, but it is where my heart is. It felt so good to see someone who followed their dreams and made their life happen they way they wanted it to. I left feeling so inspired and wanting to make my dreams really happen.


So to all those who are borderline nursing school or medical school but have had a deep desire to do photography or hair school or whatever....join forces with me in following our dreams and making life happen the way we want it to. I am determined to make it happen.


Such a good day....

Peace and Love <3
