Back in the Saddle Again!

So, let's just avoid the obvious and say, "it has been a while!!" This past year has been filled with so much activity that I have allowed the blog to take a back seat. At least, photography was right up in the driver's side of the car!! Website is updated, check. On the road to a blog update, check! What have you been up to this past year? I hope it has been full of fun, joy, and good health for you!

Unfortunately, I have not exactly been driving on the highway, more like sitting in a roller coaster car! Last summer our family moved from the DC area to Nebraska and have been pleasantly surprised with how pretty this part of the state is, the friendly people, activities, and community involvement. It's a little gem, actually! After moving here, an unfortunate tragedy plagued our family. Since then, we have been picking up the pieces and working on getting back into normal routines while looking forward to the new opportunities that await!

With respect to photography, it has been a blessing of a year! Doors have opened and I embraced every chance to make some memories! I joined an entrepreneurship group for business and if you need anything from a realtor, cookie baker, wine bar owner, event planner, banker, or interior decorator, I can point you in their direction! It has proved to be a very wonderful group of people! With a little networking, I have been photographing public and private events, newborn babies and families, and will continue to work on the corporate side of the house (advertising, etc.). It looks like fall is upon us, so senior portraits are in full swing! I can't wait! Reaching this milestone in life is rewarding in two ways. One, looking forward to a world of opportunity and passion! And two, looking back on the hard work and determination to get to graduation day! Embracing this change with some photographs is a great way to mark this milestone for many generations to come. If I can be of assistance to this special time, please contact me on my website: www.redumbrellaphotographyjs.com. I am more than happy to help and embrace the creativity! Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to updating the blog more with some fun photos! Would love to hear from you anytime! Hugs, Jodi
