Ok so I’m not forgetting to update my blog this year, there is just a lot of things going on right now that I can’t talk about! Hopefully in a few months everything will work out fine and I will be able to fill you all in on what has been happing.




But one thing I can talk about is my new endeavor I have decided to work on. I have decided to fallow in my favorite cousins footsteps and try to start my own photography business! I have been looking at her pictures she has been taking over the past couple of years and I have been so impressed! She has decided to upgrade her camera and I am planning on buying her old one from her. There have been a few bumps in the road trying to get the money for the camera (again hopefully I can fill you in in a few months) but I am praying it will all work out and the money comes in time to get hers.



But I have already been scouting out great places to take pictures around Smyth county and I can’t wait to get started! I have been teaching myself the basics of photography and think I’m doing a pretty decent job if I do say so myself! When I do get this thing off the ground my company will be named Amazing Memories by Brooke (that’s diffidently a working title if anyone has any ideas!) I have already made a few contacts to hopefully get my name out there to the community. I have talked to a gentleman at the Adwolf Fire Department and he mentions taking the pictures of the staff this year and I also talked to the director of Pitter Patter Pathways and she has agreed to let me take pictures of the kids and put a sample picture in each of the kids boxes so the parents can get an idea of my work and hopefully call me to do more work for there family! I am so excited about this, I just hope I can hurry up and get this silly camera so I can get used to it and hopefully be able to start working by summer! Wish Me Luck!!

It has been a really rough winter for us up here in the mountains, we have had a lot of snow and overall yucky weather. We are all starting to get a little but of cabin fever! So the other day I decided to do something new with the kids. They put on there bathing suits and I turned the water in the bathtub a pretty blue and we pretended we were on vacation in the tropics! I know it sound silly but the kids had a blast and that’s all that matters to me!
