2014 has been quite the year for us!!! So much has happened, both personally and professionally, and we are so thankful to all of the amazing clients that have made this a great first year for us!!! This year we had the honor of creating some amazing memories for so many families. It truly is an honor to do what we do and to get to be a part of so many amazing people's lives. Last night as I sat and rocked my son to sleep, I couldn't help but smile at the beautiful life that we live. Our amazing family, this incredible opportunity to capture pieces of stories for people that allow them to hold on to things that they may have otherwise forgot, and the hope of what is to come.
2014 was a year of change for the Morris Family!!! There is no other word to best describe it! We welcomed our first baby into the world this year. Malachi was born March 5 and nothing has been the same for us since! He is the brightest part of my every day and the loudest parts of my sleepless nights haha! He is so much fun and has completely stolen every part of our hearts. He is by far the best part of this year. We spent the entire first half of the year learning and studying and growing our craft of photography and we officially launched our business the first week of September. We were booked pretty much solid every weekend from the last week of September through the first week of December, including our first wedding!! We hosted our first mini session marathon and we already have some awesome ideas in the works for next year's christmas card marathon. Just a little sneak peek though, Santa may make an appearance ;) We have become very involved at our church here over the last year as well!! Nic is now the full time worship leader and we have been involved with the youth and the kids ministries. We have made some incredible friends there are well and we are loving the community that we get to be a part of. Our family also gained two beautiful nephews last month! Nic's sister, Jessica and her husband Patrick are in the process of adopting two beautiful little boys. We cannot wait to get to meet them in person and to shoot their adoption announcement photos for them!! I really cannot even put into words how much we have grown this past year and how much we have learned that has shaped us and molded us into who we are meant to be. It truly has been an amazing year for us. I am a team member and series writer for the Mommyhood and lifestyle blog, Love and Laughter!! We have some major changes happening over there and it really is going to be an amazing relaunch in a few weeks so keep watching!! You will love what you see, I promise!!!
Going into the new year we have so many goals, some we can share and some that we can't just yet! Personally, my goal is to lose the rest of the baby weight and make some healthier life choices. Nic also wants to get in better shape. As simple as it sounds, I want to go for a walk daily this year. Pack Malachi in the stroller and just walk. Rain or shine. Just get outside. I want to be the best mom that I can be, so I want to learn to better manage my business and my time. Being a work from home mom is no joke. Its like working two full time jobs, but it allows me to be there for my son and to raise him in the way that he should be raised, while still helping to provide for my family. It truly is a blessing. On the business end, we have so many changes coming your way over the next year. Those changes I can't share with you quite yet, but we will say that our vision and our mission statement are about to change in some very big ways!!!
Looking back at the last year there are so many families and so many stories that have impacted us so greatly. When we photograph our clients, it isnt just about taking a photo for them to hang on their wall, it is about building relationship with them. Catching moments of brilliance. We aim to tell a story with every photo we take and we feel that over the course of this year we have really grown leaps and bounds. We have so many sweet moments, both for ourselves personally and for our clients, but I want to share my personal favorites with you today. Enjoy our Best of 2014.
And that is the best of our 2014. Or at least our very favorites of what we shot this year. It truly has been such an amazing year and we cannot wait to see what next year holds. We cannot wait to meet all of our new clients and to see what new memories will happen on the back of our cameras. There are some big things coming for Destiny Morris Photography and some big changes that we cannot wait to share with you all! So stay tuned for our next chapter! It is definitely one that you won't want to miss!
Happy Holidays from our family to yours...
