Who says 13 is an unlucky number? A number to shy away from and avoid whenever possible. Scary movies play on Friday the 13th and you never choose it for your lottery ticket number. Wouldn’t you then expect 2013 to be a tough year? Well, it was an AMAZING year for me! I am thankful every day for it.
My business is growing at a rate I hadn’t expected. I am not complaining, I’m absolutely thrilled! I can only pray it continues. I have had the opportunity to meet and work with some wonderful new clients this year. Past clients have returned and it’s been such a gift to be able to watch their families grow.
I have met so many kind and inspiring photographers and vendors this year. I look forward to continuing to get to know them over the coming years and support them as they have me. Sometimes this industry can be…. stressful…. so they have really brought some light to it for me. I’m so grateful to have found them. Ya’ll know who you are because I tell you often. 🙂
My personal life has been just as wonderful. Nothing major that we couldn’t handle has come up. We had a fun trip to Disney World this year and also had the chance to visit Washington DC. Although DC was quite hot and wasn’t as fun as Disney. lol That’s ok though, we made the most of it. Everyone has remained healthy and safe. In the end that’s all that matters.
What’s next? Will 2014 be just as good? Could it be better? Will it be worse? *biting nails* I’m not sure what 2014 will bring my way. I’m hoping it’s just as good as it was this year. But I’m praying that whatever is sent my way, GOD provides me the tools to handle the bad and recognize the good. I am looking forward to opportunities to learn & grow. I pray to have wonderful and loving people to surround myself with. I pray for health. I wish the same for you all in the new year!
To all of my clients,
Thank you! Not only for choosing me to capture your memories, but for being kind & genuine people. You are loving parents, adoring couples, loyal friends & inspirational human beings. It has been such a pleasure to know you & work with you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have a job nor would I love doing it as much as I do. Words can’t express how much you mean to me.
Love,Crystal
My beautiful brides and handsome grooms from 2013! Thank you for letting me capture your special day. <3
