Opening Up and Being Nervous.

Spent the last couple of hours fixing the layout and background of this little blog adventure.  As I began changing things and fixing up a facebook fanpage.. butterflies filled my belly.  My wedding and engagement photography has never gone any further than word of mouth until now.  Pushing my passion more openly towards the public, with the possibility of meeting new people, is keeping my nerves on the rise. -I'm completely in love with what I do in this venture of my creative life.  To open up a giant part of yourself to the public is certainly scary.  I'm ready to take this to the next step; butterflies and all.

Here I am: My name is Maria.  I am a painter and a photographer.  I'm love with what I do and am finally ready to share that passion with whoever wishes to view it.

Here we go!

While my website has been a complete work in progress, I figured it was time to start a blog for my special occasion photography.  Here it is!  Design elements are to be added eventually but to start is more important for me than to make it pretty. :)

Here I'll be updating my thoughts on wedding and engagement photography, new friends I've met through the process, photographs (of course!) and the growth of this "business".  Because I am recently engaged and am going through the process myself, it'll be fun to share my experiences with others- spreading information, fun links and the joy of just being engaged!

I'm so very much looking forward to the weddings I will be photographing this year.  They unfortunately do not start until the end of April.. and I'm just itching to get behind my camera for each and every one of them.  There's so much joy, love and laughter to capture.  I'm glad I get to be the one to do this for the few that have chosen me.

Until so soon..
