Gratitude

There is no doubt in my mind that one of the biggest reasons I have gotten so far in life is because of the incredible support of my friends and family!  Saying that I am grateful for my life is truly an understatement, which is why I feel the need to dedicate an entire page to this!

I would not be where I am without the people in my life, and it is very important for me to recognize those people here.  I know this may seem odd, but to me, this is my “Oscar speech.”  My opportunity to tell those in my life how grateful I am for them!

Jackson: My sweet baby boy. Thank you for helping me to see that each present moment is all that matters.  Because of you, my heart is full and I am inspired every day of my life!

Jeremy: My AMAZING husband.  You, my love, have been my constant support through this all.  You have always believed in me, especially when I didn’t believe in myself.  You gave me strength when I  wanted to give up, and laughter when I was terrified of what lied ahead!  I’ll never forget when you, Mo and I popped the champagne for my first “big wedding.” There is no one in the world I would have rather wanted to share that moment with.

Trinity:   Your inspiration, positive attitude, and passion for photography was just what I needed when you entered my life and my business. I am so grateful to have you as my “right hand man”, but more importantly as my friend.  I am so excited about what the future holds for us! I am grateful for your hard work, dedication, reliability, but mostly for your sincerity!  xoxo

Mom: You always taught me there are no rules!  I could Be, Do , and Have anything I wanted out of life.  If it weren’t for you, I don’t think I would have had the courage to make the leaps of faith that have gotten where I am today!  I love you more than I can express in words and I am grateful to have had you to learn from!

Dad: You always said “find something you love, and find a way to make money at it!” Wow, talk about worthy advise. You helped me realize I could make a living doing something that inspires and excites me! I love you and I am grateful for your constant love and blessings!

Becca: Thank you for always believing in me.  You have always made me feel like a rock star when it came to my craft!  I am so lucky to have you as my big sis!!!

Max: Thank you for the boring lessons on Shutter speed when all I wanted was a point and shoot camera!  You have always inspired me with your knowledge!  I will forever be grateful I have my epson p5000, thanks to you!:)Also, thank you for bringing Amy and your amazing kids into my life.  They have contributed to my happiness more than you could ever  know!!!!

Farah: My model and baby sis:)  Thank you for letting me practice on you when I had no idea what I was doing!  You were such a trooper!  You are of course so beautiful that you always made me look good!  I love you sis!!!!

The Linquist Family: I truly married into the greatest family in the world.  I could not have hand picked a more interesting, funny, artistic, and consciously aware family to join.  I will never forget what my father-in-law said at our wedding… “Susie fits into our family like a puzzle piece.”   Thank you all for loving me, encouraging me, and contributing to my inspiration!

To My Friends { old and new }  I have seriously been blessed with the most dedicated and loving friends. You have all supported me through this journey, and you continue to support me daily!  I would honestly be nothing without you.
