Longing for our new home

Oh how my heart longs for New Zealand today.

I went to a NZ website this morning that had updated pictures of events that people I knew had participated in. I saw several ladies that I had met during our trips (both first time and second) there and wished I could have been there with them. Some days I feel so strongly that my place is not here but with the people in NZ that I feel sick. It's almost a feeling of "homesickness". "How can that be", I ask myself. I think it's truely a God-given desire. But waiting for the "right" time is the hardest thing in the whole world! Some days, I just want to forget about saving money to pay off loans. I just want to be there.

Oh Lord, please give me patience to wait on you and your perfect timing. I know you are preparing me for the time we will be in New Zealand. But prepare me faster!! I'm ready to be your servant to the people in NZ. Please keep this burning passion for NZ alive.
Waiting on you, Amber

Long, but fun, evening!

So, I got a new camera this week. It's the camera I've been wanting for a gazillion years now. I finally get to cross it off my dusty list of wants. Yes, I love it. I LOVE IT!!!! Tonight, I took some photos of a friend of mine doing ballet. Almost three hours of picture taking. Here are a few samples of the "hard" work! I hope you all enjoy!

Nifty Brochure

Well, here's my brochure! It's really spiffy in real life. Trust me.

I've already gotten a call about doing a high school prom. Yea! Kinda scary, but cool at the same time. Oh, and I've already gotten a wedding and engagement pics booked, too. *Nervous, Nervous*

Gotta run. *High Ho, High Ho, It's off to work I go!*

Good News!

Hello to all!


Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! I will post later about Christmas and New Year's. But I do have some exciting news to share!


I'm kind of starting a photography business! I'm getting my name out to the public and starting to make my name known. I have a meeting tomorrow with a bridal consultant that wants to keep a sample of my work to show her brides. One of my very bestest friends has helped me with a brochure and business card to hand out at work. She's also helping me get a new digital camera to jump start my career.


I will post more when I know more. Just wanted to share the good news!

*EDIT*
I forgot to mention that over the holidays I was informed about my published photo. I won the "Editor's Choice" award for 2005! How cool is that?!?! The particular photo is in my new brochure; the one of my neice with her Cabbage Patch doll.
