Life.

So what have I been making such a big deal over???

Well today is the day!

And I specialize in life.  Yes, you read it right. Life.  I don't specialize in weddings or portraits.

I specialize in life.  And you are going, say what?!?!  And what does that mean missy?!?!?

That means I specialize in my client's story.  Who they really are.  When someone looks at my pictures I want them to go, "Oh my gosh, that is so 'insert name." lol

I want my clients to be comfortable in front of the camera.

And another rumor I may have started is that I actually don't have any photos that I took on www.BrittneyAnn.com.  It's true!!!

And you now really think I've lost my mind!  But the reason I don't have any of my photos on my website is because all my clients will have their own website now!  And links to 3 sample websites are on my website under the section shoots!

So go explore the new www.BrittneyAnn.com and let me know what you think!!!

I made it.

GRADUATION TODAY!!!!!!!!

I just hope I don't cry at graduation!  ....I'm sure I will though.

Anyway, I wanted to write this awesome blog today.  And I debated what it would be about in my head.

Maybe what I learned in college.  Maybe advice for high school seniors.  Maybe how it was Brittney Ann Photography's 1st birthday yesterday!

But it is kind of a big day tomorrow with the big unveiling at noon and there is still lots of work that needs to be done and I sort of have this stage I need to walk across today.

So, here is the big awesome blog.....

I made it.   :)

It's the hallways I'll miss.

It's too soon.  I keep having to remind myself it's too soon.

My college alumni shirt is hanging in my closet.  And everyday I want to put it on.  I some how convinced myself that it goes with everything in my closet.  Yes, the bright blue shirt with orange writing totally goes with black dress pants and high heels. Trust me.   

I keep trying it on, but I refuse to wear it before graduation.  You think it would be a wedding dress or something!

Silly, I know.

3 years ago, I was 18 and dreaming about college.  I could not wait to get there!

I remember freshman orientation, campus seemed so huge.  I remember wondering how I'll ever be able to get around.

I remember telling a fellow student at orientation that I wanted to start my own photography business.  She patted me on the back and sarcastically told me "Good luck with that! You'll never make any money."

I just half-heartedly smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

Today, I'm sitting in class.  My last day of college.  I now dream about what color I should do my future kitchen in and I wonder what would be the best location for my shoots this weekend.

Campus is a lot smaller than it used to be.  I could get around with my eyes close and I'm fairly sure I have several times.

And that photography business that would never work, is so busy my head is spinning and is about to be officially 1 year old!

I've been counting down to this day for what feels like forever, but lately I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to miss when it's all over.

It took a lot of thinking, but I figured it it out.

It's the hallways .  It's where I sat swapping crazy professor/boy stories with my friends.  It's us laying in hall laughing about what happened in class.  It's the meeting my friends for lunch after a long day of classes.

Yea, that's what I'll miss the most.

Ok, now for a few picture! These are from a shoot I did last weekend, I just love how they turned out!





I adore the look on his face here! lol!

Something stronger.

I wish there was another word besides thank you.  Something stronger.  More powerful.

If there was such a word, I would like to tell it to everyone who has ever supported me and has had my back.  Sometimes, thank you just doesn't seem like enough.

It is one of those weeks, when thank you just isn't strong enough.

You tell someone thank you when they open the door for you, but it just doesn't seem right to say just thank you when a person looks you in the eyes and says you can do this, you're on to something here, go get your dreams.

Thank you just doesn't seem like enough when someone stops what they're doing and comes right over to help you and your dead car.

Thank you isn't enough when people get excited for you and you see them start believing in your dreams.  I feel very confident that if I could bottle this feeling and this support up, I would be able to solve world hunger and there would never be another war...ever.
