I walked out of my door the last couple of mornings and noticed the air feels just a little bit cooler; this is a sure sign that fall is on its way. Even though, I love summer (I’m a summer baby!) it feels good knowing that change is right around the corner. Frankly speaking, the temps this summer have been really brutal so I’m looking forward to the cooler weather. As I’m noticing the change of the seasons I realize that even though things are constantly moving, some things always stay the same.

I’ll be the first to admit that a lot of things have changed in my life since I decided to pick up a camera. I’ve met a lot of new people, travelled to some really cool places, learned some amazing things, and I’ve even learned some things about myself. However, some things haven’t changed and they never will. Most importantly, I have a loving God that continues to remind me everyday just how much He truly loves me, and how utterly blessed I am. I take comfort in the fact that he is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. Secondly, I have an amazing group of people in my life who support me; they are my biggest cheerleaders. From my family, to my boyfriend, to my friends… everyone continually gives me the love and support I need, even when so much about my life, right now, seems in a perpetual state of flux.

So… when its said “the more things change, the more they stay the same,” I believe, it refers to the fact that even though there is constant changing in our lives, there are some things that will remain the same. As I look forward to the next 6 months in the development of my growth as a photographer/person, I take comfort in my faith and the fact that my support system will be there cheering me on. To my support, you know who you are, I love you all and it’s because of you that I’m able to move forward. All I can say is… thank you…
