Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue!

May I just start off with saying how much a love weddings!  I would love to give a class to brides-to-be on weddings!  Lessons such as how to stay relaxed on your wedding day, and how to keep it classy yet affordable.  Anyways, that's just rambling!  This wedding was perfect.  The bride and groom were so laid back.  Everything went smoothly.  We had some crazy ideas, yet the bride and groom were up for anything!
The day started out at the salon with the bride, her mom, and two of her bridesmaids.  After getting all "prettified" we headed off the venue.  The wedding took place at Park Crest Facilities in Hoover.  I have had a few weddings there before.  It is such a gorgeous venue!  But nothing, and I mean nothing, was more beautiful than the bride.  She was stunning.  The sun was a little bright throughout the wedding, but that did not interrupt anything.  The reception was a blast.  Leaving, however, took a little effort!  The brides father rebuilt a gorgeous car and they were going to leave in it.  But when the time came to say goodbyes, the car wouldn't crank.  So, the groomsmen did what all groomsmen would do, they pushed them around the building!  It was, by far, one of my favorite weddings yet! Here are a few sneak peeks!  Hope you guys enjoy!

A look into the future

As many of you know, I would love nothing more than to go full-time with GGP.  Photography is my passion and I absolutely love doing it.  I could not imagine my life without it!  I have spoken with many of you about this matter, and have made it clear that I would not move forward unless I know it's what God's plan is.  With that said, I honestly believe that God is pushing me towards going full-time.  This excites me and terrifies me at the same time. So many questions running through my head.  Many being financial concerns.  I know that if this is something God wants me to do, that He will take care of me and Sawyer no matter what.  I realized the other day that I have never set a true goal for myself, and figured this would be the perfect time to make one.  My goal is to save a few thousand dollars by May.  After I have saved around $3000, I plan on finding a part-time job and leaving the doctors office.  I will then start looking for a studio to rent.  My goal is to find a place large enough to have a children's boutique in the front, and a studio in the back.  My ultimate goal is to be in a studio, full-time, by the beginning of 2013.
I am so excited about this plan that has been laid out before me.  I cannot wait to see what God has in store for my life.  I am also planning to finish school while doing all of this!  I am in desperate need for your prayers, and your business ;)
I have the tendency of being a little impatient!  I need to learn that God's timing is the best timing.  That is something I have been struggling with my entire life.  I have always been that person who sees something they want, and they get it right then.  I do not like waiting on things.  So, this process will seem very long!
I am so blessed to have the clientele that I do.  You guys are GREAT and I could not ask for better clients!  I can't wait to grow with you guys and see what the Lord has in store for GGP.
With all of that said, I hope you guys keep us in your prayers as we venture into the unknown.  And remember to keep the business coming.  I do what I do for you guys!  Keep checking our facebook page for the most recent updates, contests, and discounts.
Thanks for all the support! Love you guys dearly!
