What is an age? Is it really just a number? Does it give you instant maturity? Does it really mean anything? For me it doesn’t mean anything but a number. Today I turned 35. Otherwise known as halfway to 70. 🙂 I must say so far 35 has been great! I have a good feeling about this coming year. I am so thankful for all I have in my life and all those, near and far, that I am surrounded by.

Today I was humbled. I am so overwhelmed with all the love given to me today. Such an amazing day. My day consisted of over 105 Facebook birthday messages, special HeyTell greetings, lunch with hubby, a mani/pedi, caught up on some DVR shows, hung out with my family, got an amazing present from my hubby, Cheesecake Factory, and a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake (with white frosting). Really what more can a girl ask for?

Thank you everyone for all the love and kindness! You all mean so much to me.

Much love!

~ Ann

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Ann

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
