Since the first real launch of Brighten Photography just this past winter (atleast the launch that was above the table), we have been incredibly humbled by the many amazing people that have trusted us to be a part of this season of their lives. This journey for Whitney and I has been filled with incredible risk and wonder, and we’ve often questioned if it would ever amount to anything at all. But with much anticipation we lunged forward into the unknown world of creating a business out of a passion to capture the beauty that is found in love and relationships.
And tonight, just past 11 o’clock, I find myself holding both the incredible joy and excitement that this summer has brought, and the crazy reality that is required of such a venture.
And I am loving it.
I could not ask for a more rewarding opportunity than to help people see and remember the beauty that is creation–the joy and wholeness that is found in the utter abandonment that relationships require.
We are so thankful for the love and life that we have been able to share with each and every one of our clients. With all cheeziness aside (o.k., so it may be a bit cheezy)… we are truly grateful. Even if every night at 11 o’clock, our world looks like this:
So this all may be a bit more transparent than most normal photographers would project to the world. But as it turns out…we’ve never really gotten along very well with normalcy.
Here’s to the crazy person whose idea it was to blog for thirty days straight in the middle of wedding season. What a nut case.

On a side note… we are really thankful for the feedback that we have gotten about our, ummmm…. HORRIBLE proofing system. We’ve been working really hard at coming up with a better solution and finally feel as though we have found the best system out there. So we are working like crazy to get all of our current clients proofing galleries switched over to our new system (which if you are one of our clients that are currently viewing your images through our site, you will get an updated email from us soon.)
So thanks to the many who have given us the MUCH needed (and incredibly kind) feedback. We really believe you (and your fam and friends) will have a much more enjoyable process of viewing and ordering custom prints.
So thanks for your patience as we switch things over, as we know that we are running a bit behind at the moment!
Sleep tight.
