"Happy Birthday"

Well, it's been a few days I guess....welcome back to me! I was thinking.... a year ago I began this journey with very little hope that anything would come of it. Now, after re-locating back to AZ - I have found a new light. A light of hope, A light of faith, A light of a new beginning. Thanks to being around old friends and making new friends I see the positive light of what I started. I am so thankful that what I started has made me become a person of my own interest. In a professional aspect, I am learning to appreciate my own talent. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm "all that" but I believe that one day...I will be. I'm not out to conquer the world with my pictures...but I am out to conquer my own insignificance and inferior complex...oh yeah, and doing what I really love doing doesn't hurt. I am so excited to see what year 2 brings. Happy Birthday to Jana Carter Photography....1 year old today.

Searching....



It's important to know that when you are searching in your soul that you look beyond your imperfections and those of others. Today...all I wanted to do was look for something. Some way to get the negative thoughts out of my head and search for the good in what I do. I love what I do. I love finding the simplicity in things, the beauty in others. Open your mind and let creativity flow. You never know what you will find when you just look around the room. Today, I found a few things in my closet and after I looked through my lens, I found a certain beauty that wasn't there before. Keep searching my friends for the beauty in everything.

Back Home in AZ

Wow! All I can say is...Boy it's HOT! I forgot how it can get here. The nights only get into the low 90's and the days a scorching 115 degrees! I can't wait for winter! LOL! Although it's hot enough to burn the eggs on the ground...it's so good to be here. So happy to know that this is home for a long time to come. It's only been a week or so and we still haven't done any exploring. Can't wait to spend a day on the river...a day in Oatman...so on and on. Pics to come for sure! Last night I managed to capture a glimpse of lightning - AWESOME!

Beautiful Jewelry, Affordable! I love the colors and simplicity of Marleecain Designs....Jewelry just perfect for any occasion!

Marleecaindesigns - ArtFire Artisan Studio

WOW!

What an adventure...everything I had planned in my mind flew completely out the window once I got to the shoot. I was so very nervous I couldn't think straight. I messed up a couple of shots, but for the most part, I got some great pictures! I sincerely hope the couple / family is happy with what I came up with. Once I relaxed a little, I was completely in my element...I just couldn't move around as fast as I wanted...I didn't want to miss ANYTHING! The grounds and house were amazingly beautiful, the flowers, the colors, the pool, the marble...simply extravagant! Definately a photographer's dream. For being my first time, it was fabulous! I am so grateful for the family to allow me to be a part of their day to expand my portfolio and experience. My friends and family have been SO supportive and wonderful - I am forever thankful. I can't wait for the next one!

Tomorrow is the BIG day!

Well....it's finally here....I have been waiting two very long weeks to make my dream a reality. My first wedding reception shoot is tomorrow afternoon. I couldn't be more excited and nervous than I am right now. My heart is pounding and the butterflies in my stomach are going crazy and it's only the night before. I know full well that I am my own worst critic and I just don't want to let myself down. This is the moment that will build my confidence and make me into someone that I never thought possible. I have the most amazing support team who cheer for me on a regular basis and I am so very grateful for their kind words of encouragement and love. I can't wait to share my work with you and see where this new road leads. Much love!

Making it all worth it!

 At what point, I wonder, do I get to call myself a professional? I certainly don't think of myself as one. Other's have said otherwise. All I know is that deep down, I know what I can do and when I take that ONE picture where I even amaze myself - do I then feel a sense of confidence. I absolutely LOVE what I do and I look forward to the future...trucking along. I am so very grateful for the support system that I do have...without them...where would I be? Next week is my first big party shoot...for little or no money - it will be worth it!

It's beginning....

Today has been a great day! Secured my first wedding reception shoot for a couple weeks from now. I am so excited! The home and the grounds are gorgeous inside and out! The family I will be shooting for is wonderful and have so far made me feel very comfortable. I couldn't ask for a better place to start. I really hope that even more doors open and positive leads come from this. Im so nervous, but know in my heart that this is what I want to do. For the first time...my oldest son told me today, that he is proud of me, he thinks my photo's are amazing. Of course in the middle of Walmart..this sends me into tears. Gotta love those special moments with the ones you love the most! Im a proud mama!
