From being one of the first to read each and every ramble of mine, to cheering me on and giving me unsolicited publicity and shout outs, family and friends have had confidence in me even when I doubted myself!
My clients put their faith in me and gave me complete creative freedom in each of their shoots and walked away with a smile on their face, giving me a confidence boost more than words can convey!
This past year, I have photographed families, babies, and kids. I did lifestyle shoots as well as product shoots - from one memorable jaunt to another!!! My travel tips and articles got published several times in the Go West Young Mom website and I even conducted the first outdoor Memorable Jaunts family hike in October. As a family, we had some amazing and memorable travel jaunts - both domestic and international. 2012 promises to be a year of travel which has me waiting to pack my bags and hit the road :)
As any small business owner knows, success is not only defined by money but also by your relationships. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Shari Ralish, owner of Peaceful Parlour and Mary Krystinak, owner of Mary's Wholesome Living. These two are such amazing women and I am so proud to call them my "friends".
Memorable Jaunts is always ready and willing to give back to the community. I regularly photograph pets at West Suburban Humane Society. I hope to continue this tradition in 2012!
I feel full - I feel satisfied :) Did I get what I wanted? Yes - and so much more. 2011 reinforced my dreams and gave me new ones which I will be chasing after in 2012 :).
I wanted to take this moment to say "Thank you" to everyone that Memorable Jaunts has interacted with in 2011 and hope to have an opportunity to connect again in 2012, even if it is as a friend instead of a client! - HAPPY NEW YEAR and see you all in 2012!!
Here is a glimpse of what Memorable Jaunts did in 2011!
