A Picture is Worth a Living?

I've always wanted to be a photographer- well, okay since about my freshman year in high school I started playing with my dad's old camera and found that I really enjoyed it. I went to a small school in the country and there wasn't a photography course like at some of the larger schools around. I did do A.P. art my junior and senior year of high school and was able to work with a more advanced digital camera. But still, I always longed for more. In college I went to Texas A&M (WHOOP) and although I loved it, there was no arts focus at this very agricultural school. 


Now I'm a stay at home mom to a beautiful baby boy (and about to be another) and I long to have some sort of financial contribution. While I know that I'm doing the most important thing by raising my kids (and enjoyable...this is way better than a 9-5 on just about everyday-----no lie, there are certain days where I would love to be able to go to work and have adult social interaction). I would also like to have a more creative outlet that I can put my name to. Sometimes I think I see in 'photograph'. I constantly look at life through moments to capture. I carry around my point and shoot nearly all the time and love to document our family's life and the beauty of nature around us. 


My husband is so supportive. I'm so grateful he is. We've been talking about saving money to get me my camera equipment and supplies to get a business started. I'm praying that God guides me and helps me figure out my path. Here are some inspirational photos from, where else? PINTEREST! Such an amazing forum for ideas and inspiration.

I have a major case of vacation lust! Just looking at these pictures makes me wanna pack up and get away for awhile. Being that I'm 8 months pregnant I don't think it's gonna happen-a girl can dream, right?!

Etsy Wishlist for the Babe

This sweet wrap from Loveyduds to carry around my sweet boy!

This fantastic pillow by inklore

A precious little birth hoop from aewilder. I would want the boys to have a light blue stitch. So cute!

These blocks would be great on a shelf! And it's perfect because Tate's room is done in cowboys and Baby #2's room will be done in airplanes, trucks, and stuff like that. I'm still not positive of the direction for sure but airplanes will be part of it.

This fabric would make great burp rags or a blankie...

especially paired with this on that back.

and I absolutely love these vintage prints of airplanes. Sweetness!
