2008 was an incredible year! I followed my heart and grew my business into something I truly love. I committed to only working with great people. Those of you who know me, know that I am very up front about that. LOL. I have met and worked with so many great people. I am so thankful to my family, friends, clients and colleagues. I cannot belive this is my life. I encourage you all to follow your hearts!
When on vacation last summer I scheduled a meeting to try and pick up a new design client in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. We planned to move to the island in a few years and so I thought I would start building a client base there. Little did I know that they would make me an offer that would change my life. So on our 3 week vacation, and completely unplanned, my husband and I bought a 4.6 acre mini-farm in PEI which was our dream for many years. When we returned home, my husband went to work and resigned after 29 years with Pratt & Whitney Canada. It all felt like a dream until we rounded the new year. Now it feels very real. So I will be here until June but will stop booking photography sessions in the Montreal area in May to make sure I have enough time to process orders before packing up.
Below are some of the photos of the farm taken by my brother-in-law. I had no idea we were going to buy anything so I didn’t bring my camera with me! I am very excited about living in a farm house again. I lived in one when I met my husband and loved it and my husband lived on a farm in PEI growing up. There is a huge barn that we plan to turn into a photography studio, a chicken barn, a horse barn, a cottage, a playhouse, a campfire pit, vegetable gardens and horse paddocks. The place is a photographer’s dream! 2009 is going to be a big year. A life-changing year. A dream-come-true year… again.
Heather! I wish you all the best for the New Year. It’s a big jump to follow your dreams. Fear pulls us back but you did it and I’m proud of you and hope that soon, I will have no fear and jump in right after you. The house in PEI is gorgeous! Invite us over. lol!!! ;P Here’s to you and dreams!
I can’t wait to visit;)
You better!
