Transitions

Hi everyone! I know, I know, it’s been almost an entire month since the last post. Life has been insanely hectic, and I will be honest it’s not going to slow down much in the coming weeks. Some good news is that my photography business has had a tremendous start. The support and encouragement from everyone has been more than I could have dreamed of. I’ve also already surpassed my super low ball goal for the first year, so things can only go up from here. As a result my free time is currently full of sessions and editing, not much time for blogging. In addition, I don’t have many new projects to share right now because my apartment is full of moving boxes! Yup, my husband and I are moving into a new apartment soon!

Now we’re not cool enough to be buying something, and we’re not moving across country or anything, in fact we’re only moving 5 floors, but we will have a bigger space! So for now DIYing is on hold, HOWEVER this means I will soon have a whole new space to decorate! I fully intend to get back on the DIY train after the move which will hopefully get me back on the blogging train.

I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep, so all I will say is that the blog isn’t dead, but posting will be sporadic for a little longer. I will also add that with all of the transitions happening in my life, professionally and living space wise, the tone of the blog might shift a little. I’m in a much more DIY, artsy, decorating frame of mind these days so don’t be surprised to see more content along those lines when I do post. Thank you for those who continue to read and bare with me while I learn to juggle so many things. And here are a few iPhone photos to share some things I’ve been up to over the last month (and yes, some formatting is wonky here, but that’s blogger sometimes).

After some brainstorming I finally figured out some packaging and branding for the photography business.

Yesterday was the last holiday until Memorial day comes in May, man that’s a long stretch of no breaks.  Instead of quickly throwing a blog post together, I decided to use the day to relax a little, at least that was my original plan.  I started my morning by working on my photography website, I had set a deadline to have it ready to launch by this coming Friday.  I have been working on this website, and the blog component that goes with it for about 3 weeks now.  After an hour or two of work yesterday morning I looked it over and realized that it was done!  So, being the impatient person that I am I launched everything early yesterday afternoon.  Yes, Heather Raeburn Photography LLC is up and running!  It’s a dream come true for me. 

I’m still scared and nervous about failing, but honestly I am also really proud of myself for trying.  I took the time to inventory my life and figure out what seemed to be missing, and rather than just sitting back and wishing, I’ve turned a big dream into a reality.  I am so excited to be on this journey now, I can’t wait to see where it takes me.

If you are interested you can check out the website at www.heatherraeburnphotography.com.  Also, Skillets.Sneakers.Style has it’s own Facebook page, go like it to keep up to date with posts.

Also, don’t forget to go over to East Coast Creative and click on entry #200 (you can do this more than once), and if you’re feeling really into showing some blog love also give a click to entry #214 for my friend over at Gypsy Soul.

So now, I encourage all of you to figure out what you really want in life and then go make it happen!
