Bonnie - I love this post!! And I love that you have learned to say no! Something I too have learned this past year! You, my friend, are always an inspiration! :) May 8, 2012, 3:12PM
Tina - I love this post, I 100% agree! I love my job, but sometimes it can become just plain draining, especially when you take on too much. I've learned to say "no" more lately too, and it feels great - although I feel like I'm continually struggling with a work/life balance! After being in the industry for 4 years, I'm hoping I find that balance soon:)

Tira J - Thank you Stephanie for these words of inspiration. I have learned to say NO and it has been the most rewarding thing I can do for myself and my family. Saying NO and living does bring you back to the reason we ultimately got into photography, and that is our faith in God. He has given us our eyes, hearts, minds and souls the ability to capture true love and beauty. Love you girl! xoxo
