To everything there is a season.

 Seasons come and go, that's life, it goes on, so do ideas... I remember when I was in High School I knew I wanted to be a photographer (you know this from previous blogs) what I didn't say is I also intended to work for National Geographic, traveling the world.  Then the season changed, and in college, I wanted  to be a rodeo photographer, traveling the country. It seemed like a "safe" thing to do-also wanting to get in the arena, while the action was going on, perhaps I was a little naive?
In college, I met my hubby Jim, and the seasons changed again. Making me rethink all I really wanted as a "photographer", did I want adventure, and traveling, and never staying in one place. It suddenly didn't sound so exciting, just lonely. I stayed in that season for awhile.
Then in 2003, a wonderful thing happened, my daughter Cheyenne was born, I suddenly had a passion for portrait photography! By this time, Jim and I had been married for two years and he was done being photographed, in college he was my subject a lot, so I moved on to my beautiful daughter, she didn't seem to mind, especially since she slept most of the time.

 So, the seasons continue to change, some we choose, others choose us. I chose photography, but portrait photography chose me, and in the end, I would rather have it that way.
