<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">One of my passions in
life is personal growth. I'm pretty much addicted to improving myself. I want
to know where I need to adjust and need loving people who will tell me where my
blind spots are. Crossfit meets so many of these desires so I just can't help
but talk about it all the time.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">What Crossfit has
taught me:</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Patience- It takes
time to develop a skill. Strength doesn't happen overnight. It takes showing up
consistently to gain ground.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Contentment- I am
tempted to compare myself to those that are faster and stronger than me and it
usually leaves me feeling discouraged. You have to appreciate where you are and
focus on progress. Your victory doesn't lessen my victory.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Discipline- Setting
goals can be scary and overwhelming. After all, you might fail.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">You're probably
going to be uncomfortable . You might have to tell yourself "no" to
something you want now, in order to get what you</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">want in the future.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="apple-converted-space" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Image may contain: 6 people, child and shoes" height="266" src="https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16603057_10154920428797305_101217215535435555_n.jpg?oh=0675909c72291cd628f5ccb8fcc1844e&oe=5973E164" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Humility- It's
intimidating to try a new skill in front of other people. It's even more
embarrassing to mess up when you do. It's crucial to learn to laugh at yourself
and not take failure too seriously. When you fail at something, it means you
tried.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">The bigger failure would be to not try.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Community-There's a
lot to be said for spending time around people that are like-minded. Being
around others that are motivated, disciplined, and desire to improve
themselves, is contagious.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Commitment-Going to
the gym on the days I would rather stay on the couch in my pajamas watching
Netflix, are the days that I need to go the most.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Motivation is a
fleeting thing that never sticks around long, so you have to decide beforehand
what you will do.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Camaraderie- As most
cross-fitters know, we cheer loudest for the last one left working.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">It usually means
they are trying the hardest. Having someone cheer you on gives you strength to
finish strong and not give up. "Your confidence makes me stronger"
(Trolls movie).</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="apple-converted-space" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Image may contain: 23 people, people smiling, people standing and indoor" height="300" src="https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16388403_10154917551777305_5444343368193480546_n.jpg?oh=5de9c28fcd63bb3501f5b8784c35b41c&oe=593DFFFE" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Self love- When my
body does something that I, never in a million years, thought I would be able
to do, I am amazed. Your body is a tool.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">You can feed it
love and health or you can feed it loathing and junk. At the end of the day,
making yourself a priority enables you to love others better.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Persistence- Skills
that I've tried and failed at dozens of times become frenemies. You hate the
repeated failure, but it drives you to keep trying and not give up on mastering
the skill. I have a lot of frenemies. But less than I used to.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Mental fortitude- So
often my mind wants to quit before my body has even started. This is where the
real test is. You can push your body, but not until your mind overcomes your
thoughts.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Accountability- It's
humbling to be corrected on your form or to be encouraged to push a little
harder. Those who care most about your success will hold you to a standard. The
ones who are teachable benefit from it. </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Overthinking is bad-
If I think too much about what I'm doing, I almost always miss a step or get
out of my rhythm. Overthinking leads to anxiety.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Sometimes, you
gotta "just do it" and stop thinking.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Resilience- I have
literally wiped out during a workout. You have a choice in that moment of pain-
both physical and emotional- to quit or to push through the pain and keep
going.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Gratitude- I have had
seasons in my life when disease made it too difficult to get off the couch,
much less make it to the gym. Those dark times make me appreciate the healthy
seasons when I can make it to the gym.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;">
</span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">I am grateful for
my body and its ability to heal and do work.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Focus- It's easy to
get overwhelmed. Some days you look at a WOD and think there's no way you'll
even finish it.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">The mountain in front of you seems
insurmountable. Just taking the next step over and over again, gets you farther
than thinking about how hard it looks.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">Rest- Rest is
sometimes the hardest discipline of them all. A person can't work all the time
without serious consequences to their body and relationships. You have to force
yourself to rest and recover in order to be able to continue.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt;">I know that Crossfit
is not the only place you can build character, but I'm partial to the
atmosphere because it has been so life changing for me. Crossfit has refined
every area of my life. Bottom line, do something that challenges you on a
regular basis and you'll reap benefits that are more than just muscle.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: ".SFUIText","serif"; font-size: 17.0pt;"> </span></span></div>

At times, it is the hardest, most challening role we have, but also the most rewarding. <div>
Mother's Day is a day set aside to honor the women in our lives that have supported us, pushed us, and loved us at our worst. No one lives up to the ideal picture of mom, and we all struggle, but we love unconditionally, infinitely, and fiercely! We are overcomers, we are survivors, we are fighters, and we do all of it for our kids! Happy Mother's Day to ALL moms! </div>

In the Fall, we traveled to private family land in Winfield, and then in the Spring, we went to Oldtown in Wichita.<br />
<br />
Becky loves books, especially Harry Potter. She also plays the violin in Orchestra and is an active member of FFA and Parlaw. She plans to go to K-State in the fall. <br />
<br />
Becky has been an adopted part of our family for several years. It has been an honor watching her grow into a wonderful young lady. We will miss you and wish you the best! XOXO<br />

Yeah, me neither! These lovely ladies call each other mom, sister, daughter. They are raising a combined 5 kids together!<br />
The location of choice was the Keeper of the Plains. It was a cool day and the wind off the water was brutal, but we managed to get some beautiful pictures! Weren't they all perfectly coordinated? <br />

Last year I made the decision to no longer do studio work in my home. I welcome the slow down in winter, but by the time spring rolls around I am ready to get back to work!<br />
<div>
This weekend I had the pleasure of getting to see the Noll family. I started taking pictures of them about 3 years ago, when their first son, Reid, was an infant. One of my favorite things about family photography is watching kids and families grow. The Noll's welcomed their second son, Lane, 6 months ago. We met at Naftzger Park in downtown Wichita. The spring colors made for a beautiful session and the boys were perfect little gentlemen! </div>

One of the best things about my job is watching babies grow. Its so bittersweat to watch them meet milestones. I have had the privilege to watch Reagan grow over the last year. This girl always has a smile and such a sweet disposition. It might help that she has an awesome big brother and sister that are always there to give her something to smile about! </div>

We ended up at the Hotel at Oldtown to take advantage of their warm lobby and gorgeous decor! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still trying to put into words, the magnitude of London. Everything I saw was very ornate </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and intricately detailed. Everything was on a 'royal' scale. Makes sense, since they are ruled by a Queen. <br />
I was not prepared for what a melting pot of people this city is. I was expecting what I see on BBC shows like "Call the Midwife", "Dr Who", and "Sherlock". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parts of it were very much what I expected, while other parts were nothing like I anticipated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><br />
One of my absolute favorite parts of the trip was the Underground. So fun and exciting trying to navigate around the underground train tunnels. As you step on to the train a voice says "Mind The Gap" in a British accent. I am still saying it weeks later. </div>

We flew in to London on a very early flight and then took a 1 hour cab ride (on the wrong side of the road!!) to the city. By this time, we were ready for breakfast, so we made a stop at Starbuck's, for 'tea and cakes' and then straight to Tiffany's to have 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'! Very glamorous indeed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After breakfast we toured all four floors of the store. Everyone who worked there was very kind and humored our shopping outing.</div>

One of the teenage girls with us, Jessi, recognized the restaurant 'Nando's' as we walked by it, as a favorite place of some of the members of "One Direction". The manager was extremely kind, and sat us at the exact table the band sat in. He also let us take menus as souvenirs and gave Jessi a shirt and some of the Peri Peri sauce the restaurant is famed for. It was a delicious lunch and made for great memories!</div>

We took a ride on The Original Red Bus Tour, which is a hop-on hop-off bus, two levels high, and open on top. We were able to see many of the iconic London Sites in a short amount of time. St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye were just a few that we passed.</div>

The parts of London that were very modern seemed almost out of place to me, but were still amazing. The first one is overlooking Blackfriar Bridge, and then the next one is "The Shard".</div>

I absolutely loved that the buildings that were almost on top of each other, could be decorated so differently, almost as to differentiate one from the other. London is definitely a concrete jungle. Residents take the opportunity to put green anywhere they can, so a lot of windows are greened up with baskets of flowers.</div>

<span style="color: black;">After traveling for over 14 hours on a plane that carried me across the ocean and two
continents, walking was just what I needed! The smells, and sounds, and colors were so refreshing. I felt at times like I had taken a step back in time (in a good way), then, other areas that I saw in Germany, were very modern. Germany is a country that has managed to hold to very traditional values. Evidence of this can be seen in the way they care for the land, the purity of the food, the lifestyle that so many live-seen especially on Sundays, and the sustainability of individual communities -seen in local markets, bakeries, and shops. They place value on the history that has taken place there and you can see remnants of it everywhere. We have some wisdom to learn from Europe.</span></div>

they just can't compare to face to face, and real physical hugs.</div>

This is her with her daughter and me with my daughter at the entrance to the castle. To the right is my daughter and I in front of one of the 'small' wine barrels.

We had a gorgeous Kansas sunshine day that was unseasonably warm for January.<br />
We met at Andover Central Park and they brought along their two energetic and playful pups. They are a down to earth couple that seems to truly enjoy eachother and have a fun, playful, relationship. <br />
They are planning an October wedding, which is sure to be beautiful, based on the Pinterest ideas I have seen! What did we ever do before Pinterest?!<br />

The thing I love about snow the most, is how much life slows down when the snow falls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We slow down to take in the beauty of the pureness and brightness around us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The world is washed clean. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The simple things of this world are covered in glitter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We cherish the warmth of home a little more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life. Slows. Down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I love it.</div>

I had the pleasure to take Reid's two year old pictures recently. He is ALL boy! Since I have three boys of my own, boys full of energy aren't intimidating to me. I enjoy the life that is just pouring out of them! I have taken Reid's pictures since he was a baby and he has been so much FUN to watch grow! </div>

What's the best thing about Winter? Getting enough snow to qualify it as a snow day! Winter and I are not friends. But, I can appreciate a good snow day. <br />
Besides a lot of shoveling and staying in my pajamas all day, I did get some work done.<br />
My youngest boys' room had a little construction in it recently, thanks to my husband and Pinterest. It was just waiting for a coat of paint. <br />
I actually had the forethought to buy the paint the day before the snow came in, and the lady at the paint counter said that they had sold a lot of paint that day. Guess other people had the same idea. If you are going to be stuck inside all day, might as well do something productive. <br />
Don't worry though, I wasn't too productive. Remember, I stayed in my pj's all day!<br />

Here's our DIY in process. (the hole in it is to access the plug in)<br />

I had a little extra motivation and help from Apple radio. I love that app! Ironically, the song "Summertime Sadness" was playing when I took this picture. I am missing summer very much and definitely have sadness over it! <br />

This year, I am focusing a lot of energy on growing my photography business. I have started a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/evamariepics" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> page, and also this blog, to keep in touch with you all a little better. My <a href="http://www.evamariephotography.com/" target="_blank">website</a> is still a great way to see what I am up to and contact me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will be running some specials this year for first time clients, and am also looking at a way to begin a referral incentive. I'll let you know more about that in another blog post.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am doing an open house, that a friend was kind enough to let me be part of, and hope to find some more opportunities that are similar in nature. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am brainstorming what I want an updated logo to look like, and intend to let you all help me make a final decision! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Primarily, I just want to get my name out there! I realize how MANY photographers there are now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My goal is to remain true to my style but at the same time, build a business and further my knowledge as a photographer. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll be spending a lot of time in front of my computer screen which you can see below. There are plans for my lovely husband to build me a new workspace, and I am very anxious for him to get started! (nudge, nudge) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can see some supplies on my desk for my upcoming Valentine Mini-Session on Sat, February 1st, from 10a-2p. Sessions are $30 and are 20 minutes long and you can have up to 2 kids per session. That price includes your digital files! Get in touch with me to schedule as I am filling up fast!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can also see my trusty little space heater under my desk. I freeze during the many hours I spend editing pictures year round, so it's a must have, even in the summer! </div>
