Goodness it's been a while... I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm not much of a blogger or very social in the month of January. For me January is the time to find my center, to reflect on the previous year, be present in the now and by February I'm able to move forward and get excited about the new year.
Last year was an exciting year for me, I had so many great sessions and met so many new clients that always turn into friendships. Photography is a constant challenge for me and I love that... finding my style, what makes me unique... working on my skill and the technical aspects of photography... I feel fortunate to have found my passion and am able to do what I love for a living. Being a business owner is an entirely different challenge for me, I have such a new found respect for anyone that embarks on being self employed and being a small business owner.
Ed and I have been taking the boys on nature hikes all over Olympia... again... trying to find our center... needing some balance from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We start out the morning with a great breakfast. One of our morning favorites... ground sweet pork sausage from Johnson's Meats , 1/2 a dozen eggs, mix it up, scoop spoonfuls into pan and fry. Blueberry pancakes with a little homemade Jelly... I take frozen Spooner's Berry Farms strawberries from last summer and equal amounts sugar (I try to use less)... bring to a boil and pour into jam jar. Some of our favorite places to explore; Kennedy Creek Salmon Trail , McLane Creek Nature Trail and Mima Mounds Prairie. There are so many more in our area... if you have a favorite... please share and leave a comment! ~Michaela
