Where has the time gone.....???

Really, seriously, has it been almost a year since I last posted anything??  Where has the time gone??

What have you done in the last year??  I have had another child!  That makes three!  How is it that the one person that spent her entire adolescent years stating that she was never going to get married or have children.....la ta da!  Look at me now!  Wouldn't change it for a thing though!  I have the most amazing husband and three fantastic children who mean the absolute world to me!!  How did I get to be so lucky??

Where did the photography go?  Well, in amongst moving to the lower mainland, having two children under the age of two and having spent the last year working full time in a dental position with Dr. Greg Nelson, that I absolutely love love love, I kinda had to put it on the back burner!  But, there is good news, I have started going at it strong!!  It is so refreshing to get behind the lens again!  So excited with the last couple of shoots that I have done.....can't wait to show you the results.  Oh, and I have also found my direction! 

Not too many people know this about me, but for so many years now I have been extremely lost and undecided as to the directon I wanted to take my talent.  But great thanks are owed to my dear friend, Christopher Jodoin of Christopher J Designs, who opened my eyes during a recent art show I was displaying some of my work in through PhotoClub Vancouver.....I have found my way!!  I am no longer lost!!!  Yay me!  You are officially reading the blog of, Erika Scott, Portrait Photographer extraordinaire!!!  Ta da!!  And thanks to my darling friend Tairalyn of Lah Tea Dah, I am here to blog about it!!  Yay, I love the people in my life!!

When you have lost your way.... go home!

Well, there have been a number of times that I have lost my direction since the move to Vancouver. There is something that is really unsettling about being here and I sometimes wonder if it is the hussle and that bussle that is making me so unsure of myself.... or the shear amount of talent that surrounds me. But, as I look to my inner being and mentally 'go home' to my paradise I seem to have the ability to ground myself! I understand that everyone has talent and to each there own. We all own our own style and we must continue looking within to ensure that we are following our dreams, hopes and aspirations. We must not 'sell out' to a different being only to discover in retrospect that we have lost our way completely! Know what it is that you are going after... write it down.... post it on your wall/fridge where you are going to see it every day and strive to achieve it! I may not be the best though I am my best!
