My my time got away last month!
I hope you're out there enjoying the longer days and warmer weather.
Let's face it. Life is busy and sometimes gets messy. 
But in March I've been practicing what I preach. Exploring my creative interests and taking some time for my own self-care. I'm blessed to do it in a way that also serves others, and let me tell ya, it's been an amazing month. 

So, Happy Spring and April! 

To the few that came out for my Launch party in February, your support is the driving force behind AY+ Photo! 
Not only did you encourage me to grind harder and put myself out there, but the special affirmations were super encouraging. 
As promised, I was to announce the drawing results. The note I blindly picked from the jar said, "you are a joyous caring soul, and we love you dearly."
Shout out to Sally and Wayne for that. Thank you so very much! You two are offered a free session! Whenever, wherever you choose!!

As I write this, it's 75° and I'm listening to a bird conversation. One is chirping in my back yard, and another is responding nearby. It's delightful.
Paying attention to the natural world always helps me feel grounded. It's easy to worry about big things like financial harmony and small things like the baby's lost shoe, but sometimes there's nothing left to do except open the windows and enjoy the sounds of springtime.

Later next week, I'll pack my car with some photography gear, my poetry and crafts along with my mama as we head outta state to good Ol' Nebraska, for a much-needed family visit with my 96-year-old grandmother! God bless her. 
I also look forward to my debut performance at a Lincoln Poetry Slam.
I'll host a Vision board party in my hometown hoping to engage with others on a deeper level.
Finally, I've scheduled a lovely engagement photoshoot in a healing garden. After all that, I'll have to make the long drive back where I have plenty of additional opportunities lined up this month.

Thanks to all who continue to be involved with me, my family and career. 
If you're interested in booking a spring session, maternity shoot or graduation party photos, I am available, and you know how to reach me! 
Much love,
Amelia Y
