My Time- HopeLights Photography

As a mother, I know I and maybe others, get caught up in the dailies. The daily grind of to and from. Getting the kids to and from school, activities, and many other things. Sometimes we blink and are so focused on the daily grind, we miss the years as they go by. Just seems like yesterday my kids were little and not in school. Now one is going into 5th grade and the other 3rd.

B. K. (Before kids), I went to college and I majored in Liberal Arts.  My focus was on photography. This was an interesting time as this was before digital photography became a 'thing'. So, I spent all my free time in the lab developing my prints and learning how to make beautiful pictures. For one assignment I decided I was going to take pictures of run down buildings. One time my hubby and I went to take pictures of this amazing old apartment building, this crazy lady came down and started chasing us. This was a hilarious site, my hubby and I running to our car while a lady with a pan chased us. My shoot became one of the fun activities we did in our college days.

Then I moved into a management position at a portrait studio. Which was a little experience, but slowly took away my photography joy. Off and on I spent 10 years working for that company. At that point I just didn't want to do any photography. I got tired of complaints and people not appreciating my artistic view.

So, now after Bug & Bean was born, they became the center of all my photography. Then,they grew up and we're willing participants.

Fast forward to now. Judy and I have built an amazing Avon business that has allowed me to be a work at home mom for the last three years. Now, we are currently in the car headed to Pennsylvania which will be our new home. Judy and I will continue to grow and flourish our very successful Avon business. However, I am going to follow my passion as well.  Once we get there HopeLights Photography will officially be established.

I love seeing the beauty in the ordinary. So, surrounded by God's beautiful landscape, I will capture our journey. My photography specialty will be nature, landscapes, and art pieces.

So, stay tuned as HopeLights Photography takes off I will always keep you up to date.
