BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

This post is to officially announce a dream come true: Project Jack. I am tearing up a bit just writing that out!
Project Jack is a division of UnScripted Photography. This division, however, is dedicated solely children, teenagers, and adults with special needs. My staff stylist (Abby) and I identified this incredible need thanks in part to her son Jack (and our namesake!), but also in her stubbornness of only wanting THE BEST for her son- whom has special needs. I, in fact, went to college to end up as a Physical Therapist. I worked under a pediatric physical therapist for years- and loved it. But I ended up as a professional photographer (through a divine and weird turn of events). But I always loved those children.
Today- what seemed like an abandoned career that I wasted years on, and my true love of photography--- I have came full circle.
I am extremely motivated to feed this community with beautiful pictures of their children and teens. I find it incredible that ANY parent would have nothing but a good time with a photographer and the pictures afterwards. With Project Jack I hope to reach out to those parents- get them to try 'one more photographer', and EARN the honor of being included on their child's circle of professionals. Just wait and see- it's going to be amazing.

Crazy Times at the Dot Com

If you happen to be one of my loyal site watchers, or you enjoy coming back to the site to see what's new- you have more than likely seen a big shift over the past weekend. The welcome page and the site itself have received a face lift- new color schemes and photos for you to check out there.
Currently- I have been running around a bit crazy. Not quite 'Brit-Brit Crazy', but certainly my own brand of crazy. It's that time of year for wedding planning and booking, and many many consultations. I have also been very busy with a new division of my business- that you may have seen the logo for on my home page. It is called 'Project Jack'. It is not quite ready to be announced and un-veiled yet, but it will be ready soon! I am extremely excited about this new project, and I cannot WAIT to get it up and running. Really and truly- I believe it to be my life's calling- and I look forward to sharing it with everyone!

Oh Geez. The pressure.

Dudes. I hate the first blog post. There is always the pressure to get started on the right foot, and be all witty, and smart, and funny. I don't know about all that. My witty and funny parts are usually self-depreciating... and self-depreciating only works if you know me. Which you probably don't... you have no idea- because we are at the beginning- the first post. And now we have came full circle folks, and I am doing a good job of excessively rambling. That's NOT embarrassing.

Okay- what about a picture!? That always works with my friends! I throw a shiny picture in front of them, and all else is forgotten!!! How bout some shiny pictures of my kids. I am using my children. I know. Go ahead and pass me the mother of the year award :)

This is my 5 year old (just turned five a few days ago!) Audrey. She *is* the princess. You can attempt to tell her otherwise, but you may want to employ the use of the helmet I handed you earlier.
Ain't she purty!?


And I am introducing the new little man to the neighborhood. This is Jack. He is tha man. Seriously- his belches are disturbing to be 4 months old.
I just want to nibble him ;)
And for some shameless promotion of my professional abilities, and because I am so gosh darn proud that I actually got MY OWN greeting cards out in the mail, here is a copy of our holiday card:

Really that is an accomplishment that I not only designed my own, but I also got them in the mail before Christmas! I love my clients, but usually my personal projects slide during the holiday season because of the rush to get all those orders designed, printed, shipped, and finished! I made it happen, and no selling of my soul was involved. Point for January.
Have you forgotten about the brain-numbing rambling earlier? Did the pretty shiny pictures distract you enough? I certainly hope so- because now, the first painful post is over- and we can move on to greener pastures. Whew. Thanks for staying with me through it. :)
