Well, here we go!

Today I shoot my first wedding of the year:-)  Wedding aren't my main business, but I am happy to get them when I do.  It's such a big thing, choosing the person who is going to capture one of the most important days of your life.  Someone who you don't mind, inviting into your family for the day, who is going to be your constant shadow.  It's kindof stressful, but rewarding.  I am honored to be chosen.  Wish us all luck, from the flower girl, to me;-)

"To fall in love is easy
even to remain in it is not difficult,
our human loneliness is cause enough.

But it is a hard quest
worth making
to find a comrade
through whose steady presence
one becomes steadily the person
one desires to be

So confused.

So for those of you that do this kind of thing with ease, I applaud you.  I am so confused as to how to make this page a working site, let alone a reflection of myself. I will get it though...eventually.

 I had kindof a crappy day at work yesterday, and it made me want to work harder and harder at what I do outside of work.  Maybe then, I will be able to let it go.  My boss can't seem to let go of his idea of me in his head, and his opinion will never change, no matter how hard I try to change it.  He hates the fact that I am a photographer.  To him, that means my mind is never on my "actual" job, and I am too concerned with outside activities.  Not true.  I'm tired.  So tired of trying to change his mind, i'm ready to throw in the towel.  I can't though, for my family. My original goal was to be a full time photographer in 2 years.  Might just shoot for 1.  Lets get this ball rolling, in a serious kinda way!

Why Hello

Thanks for stopping by! I guess if you're still reading this, you'd like to know a little about me. Obviously, my name is Eliza(beth), and I love photography. Here is what you may NOT know...

I have lived in Columbia, TN since 1998. This town means alot to me. Its where my dad was born, where I met and subsequently married the love of my life, where I had my beautiful daughter, and made some amazing friends. I love recognizing people everywhere I go, and meeting new ones everyday.

I currently do my photo sessions from my home, and some on location sessions, depending on what you're looking for. My 1 1/2 year old daughter Willa, is my "assistant" and constant companion. Please note, she isn't a very good assistant, but she is a GREAT companion.
 
I hope that you will feel relaxed and at home, I do-so you should too!
So now that we are better acquainted, look around. Let me know if we can get together some time soon.
