a brand new day!

Even though I have blogged before, this NEW blog is just a little bit intimidating...
With it, I am attempting to start my journey into the world of professional photography and that in itself is incredibly overwhelming, but also very exciting!

For those who don't already know me, a little introduction:

My last name isn't Paris JUST YET, but give it a few months! I am marrying my best friend in the entire world on May 15th and absolutely cannot wait to start my life with him. Dan is everything to me, including the voice of encouragement.

I moved from Charlotte, NC to Texas in 2007. I am learning to love it here, but there are definitely days where I still struggle with being away from all of my closest friends, and the city where I grew up.

I have always been interested in art, and especially photography. I took a few photography classes in my early college years and learned the absolute basics of manual shooting. Within the past 8 or so years (DEAR GOD time flies by so quickly!) I have become even more passionate about photography and my skills, as well as my eye, have markedly improved. I love being behind the camera and there is nothing else in this world that I would rather do with my life.

Goodness, this really does feel awkward... I'm sure it reads that way too. I will get used to it , I promise!

In the meantime...



Jeff & Andrea were married in Grapevine this past Saturday and I was very lucky to be able to attend! Jeff is also Dan's best man in our upcoming wedding as Dan was his.
