New Year, New Path

2016 is fast approaching folks!

I cannot believe how quickly 2015 has gone by!! Can you? It feels like it sailed by within the blink of an eye in my household. A lot of beautiful things have happened, we've received many blessings, dealt with few true hardships and have grown so much closer as a family [which I couldn't be happier about!]. We have come a long way since the end of 2014, and now here we are, at the brink of 2016, and we have so many more plans in so many different areas of our life. Outside of the fast approaching arrival of our newest son Levi, we're looking into buying a different house [one with more room because we will certainly need it!], a new school district for the kids, and new career paths and business avenues. I have big, new, awesome plans and goals to turn my business into more than just weddings. Don't get the wrong idea though, I absolutely LOVE photographing weddings and will continue to photograph weddings for as long as my body allows me to lift a camera to my eyes.  However, I have decided to start turning back to all other forms of photography as well. Which is wonderful news for all!

I cannot express how much I miss photographing all forms of photography and how badly I want to turn my business into a full time profession. Right now, my business has taken a back seat to my career as an EMT. The difficulty in this is that I also love being an EMT and have no plans to just give that up, so I don't want to just completely quit that job and only focus on photography. I have never been one to take a leap into the unknown without having a sturdy plan, so a few weeks ago I sat down and created all kinds of plans to organize at least one part of our life the way we want it to be. This includes new specials, mini sessions, new session packages, new products and more! I'm also looking into ways to cut my processing/editing time down....possibly in HALF....within the next year. Plus, I hopefully will be adding a few new pieces of equipment into my arsenal of photography gear. Oh....and I need to start blogging more! I enjoy writing and keeping everyone updated, I just need to schedule time to actually sit down and do it! Maybe every Thursday evening? Unless the Packers are playing...then it's just going to have to wait ;)

2015 was truly wonderful in so many ways, and we're looking forward to an even more amazing 2016! I hope you all had a great year and I wish you all a beautiful, delightful and prosperous upcoming year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my family to yours!
Love,
Taber

 

A Happy 4th of July for All

Happy belated 4th of July to you all! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with your friends and family. I know I certainly did. Although my better half was stuck at work for a 14 hour shift, I had the pleasure of spending the day with my children, his daughter and his parents.
My recent move came with a great surprise for the 4th; the local 4th of July parade happens right in front of our new home! We set up our lawn chairs, grabbed some beverages, a few toys and I, of course, brought my camera.
Everyone had a great time watching the fire trucks, police cars, "ninjas", dancers and more pass by. Each kiddo collected their fair share of high-fives, candy and smiles. 
I know I'm definitely looking forward to spending more events this this with the awesome blended family we have created!

Welcome!

Drum roll please.....

Welcome to my brand new website everyone! I was long over due for an update from my frumpy old blogger website. I loved a lot of things about the old site, but in the end I needed to find something that looked more professional and would show off my work in a more organized way. So here is what I've come up with...and so far, I LOVE it! I hope you all do too!

In the coming weeks, I'll continue to update this website, including blogging about a lot of my previous sessions, weddings and more. For now though, I have 2 little ones to take care of and another who I'm babysitting for the night.

Until next time,
-Taber Lacie :)
