A Little Behind

Last night Mark said to me "when are you going to put some new stuff up on your blog missy?". It made me realize how much I have neglected my blog over the last few months. At some point, I began to fall behind on everything and have had to put it on the back burner. Just when I thought that I was about to catch up, and even launch and official website, a minor catastrophe strikes. We got flooded. Yep, our house had some flood damage. Although we still have our house when so, so many others don't, it's still quite frustrating. We have to wait on this or that, or leave work at the drop of a hat so that we can meet with adjustors or someone working on the house. We have to sit in an 86 degree house and watch our dog pant all her weight away and the cats sprawl out on the floor trying to find a little breeze somewhere. I take cold showers only to get out and immediately get boob sweat because it's so hot. It hasn't been fun and I just wish it would all fix itself right now. I sit and complain, but every time I am reminded that, at least I have house to sit in. Whether it's 86 degrees or freezing, I still have 3/4 of my home saved from flood damage. I am so incredibly grateful and thankful for that, for my father for rescuing my mother-in-law and animals in waisted deep water, and for all the people who have been helping us or simply giving us advice. Along with all of that, I have never been more proud to be a Nashvillian. We are an absolutely amazing city and I am so proud of all of us.


Our house is the greenish one with the red car in the driveway after the waters receded enough to walk towards the street. The car had water up to the windows before that.


With all that said, I have been busy outside of the flood stuff. I have been photographing weddings and sweet little babies. It's been keeping my mind off of all that is to come. I have so much that I need to update you all on as far as photos go. I will post as much as I can in the next few week—until I'm all caught up.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my photography and given me the opportunity to develop relationships. You all mean so much to me and I will give back as soon as I am able. Without all of you I would not be where I am today, honestly.

  1. Wow, I'm sorry to hear that your house has been damaged. It's wonderful to feel grateful for what you have, when so many are worse off, but we're all human! We are allowed to be annoyed at our own annoyances anyway. Boob sweat sucks. I hope putting things back together comes swiftly for you!
