I love getting to know exactly who you are. So tell me, can you answer one of the following questions?
1. What’s the food you never tire of eating?
2. What’s the one song that makes you want to get up and dance?
3. what is the song you secretly love, but might be embarrassed to play with your friends around/etc.
I can’t wait to read your comments!

Every day that you invest in yourself you’re becoming more valuable to those around you.
If you want to be successful in life, it demands an investment of your time consistently.
On my drive to Lubbock this week, I was investing in myself as I listened (for the second time) to @terrisovellfoy book, “Five Things Successful People Do Before 8 A.M.”
I’ve heard things I didn’t pick up on the first time.
One of those things was about being generous. I’ve realized I can sometimes be greedy. The selfishness creeps in, but this week I have been purposeful to be generous.
I don’t tell you this because I want you to praise me for it. I don’t want that at all.
I tell you because maybe it will challenge others to find something in their life that they need to work on.
We are all a work in progress, taking baby steps towards our goals.

You may or may not know a whole lot about me, but I’m a photographer, content creator and artist distributor from Clovis, New Mexico and I’ve been in the biz for 12 years.
Every now and again I like to share a post that shares a little info about me.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, let’s make this month’s edition all about love! You ready? There’s no food I love more than pizza, no actor I love more than Sandra Bullock, no vacation spot I love more than Puerto Rico, and no ice cream flavor I love more than wedding cake with bits of yellow cake and vanilla frosting.
I had my first crush in kindergarten, and my first kiss at age 5. I chased a little boy down and gave him a kiss. (Haha) The love of my life is my husband Ben, (we’ve been married for 16 years), and the way to my heart is through gifts of flowers or handmade cards from our two sons.
Now your turn. Share with me in the comments.

What has been a fun new start you’ve had in the past year? Every moment is a chance for a new beginning and I can truly say, I've enjoyed branching out and working with brands for product and commercial photography.
Some days I'm so nervous to pitch new brands, and some days I feel like I'm unstoppable.
The new relationships I've gained in this business have enriched my brain and my creativity.
And what about you? Can you share a new start you’ve had?
