As I’m typing this post I truly can’t believe that the new year is upon us and 2009 has come to an end. It was an amazing year. A year full of life lessons, business lessons, and soul searching. I met some wonderful people along the way…and I lost some, as well. I know that every year has it’s share of ups and downs…I’m excited, anxious, nervous,…happy about what 2010 will bring.
There is a reason for every season. For every moment. For every mistake. For every tear cried, there will be smile given. For every opportunity lost, there will be wisdom gained.
As I reflect on 2009, I feel very blessed. Blessed with a wonderful husband who supports my dreams and challenges my goals. Blessed with healthy children who keep me laughing and who inspire me to be a better person. Blessed with family and friends who love me, despite my “difficult days” and who continue to push me when I feel like giving up. Blessed with understanding & amazing clients that chose me to document their special day, family, event. Blessed by a Lord who saved me and continues to show grace and mercy when I don’t and never will, deserve either. I am blessed. I am thankful. I am reminded that every season, every day, every moment is a gift.
I apologize to my blog readers for being “absent”. I don’t really have a good excuse, other than just being “busy” and trying to find “balance”. That’s my goal for 2010…to find balance between work, family, church, friends, ball games, education, exercise, grocery shopping, marketing, bloggin, twitter, facebook, field trips, dinner, laundry, …you get the idea. I’m sure any mother can relate. Finding balance is a gift. It’s a work in progress. It’s a journey…one that I hope to begin and eagerly obtain in 2010.
I had no idea how quickly my business would grow. It grew faster than what I could keep up with. It just goes to show you …don’t put limits on God. I can honestly say, I was not prepared for what God had in store for me and as I look back at late nights working…missing my family time…I see now, that is was a growing period for me. I will not let those “missed moments” be forgotten with the ringing in of the new year. I will hold them close to my heart and remember…why I started this business to begin with.
I love photography. I love capturing moments for others. I love documenting a journey. I love being a part of YOUR lives. And I love being a wife and mother.
After much prayer, my husband and I have decided that Jennifer Adams Photography will be accepting a LIMITED number of sessions and weddings in 2010. WE want to be able to give our brides and clients the utmost attention and best experience possible. If you are interested in booking us for your wedding, please contact us via email at: jennifer@jcaphotos.com - as soon as possible, to reserve your date.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I know it’s a little lengthy but I felt moved to share what has been on my heart.
I have really enjoyed the Holiday Break. It was so nice to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with loved ones. There have been days this past week where I did nothing…and it felt great! Here are a few photos of my family and what we’ve been up to…
Our Family Christmas Cards this year…
I’ve been revived and my creative juices are flowing. I’m refreshed and ready to soar in 2010! Looking forward to working with you this year!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful time tonight as they remember 2009 and celebrate 2010. Please be safe!!!
Much Love, Jennifer
