This past weekend the counter on my camera rolled over, meaning that I have taken over 10000 photos with my camera since I got it, about a year ago on September 27th, 2008. (Of course, Jeremy stole my camera occasionally. )

My camera hit 10,000 photos while shooting Mark and Lindsay’s wedding with Mandy!

In the past year my camera has done a lot of work:

I have been a second shooter at five weddings, four with Mandy and one with Stacy.

Kate and Joey,

Mike and Rachel,

Dan and Cindy,

Mark and Lindsay, and Reed and Laura.

I have assisted in one portrait session and held two of my own.

I assisted shooting a graduation party, and shot a belly dance performance.

I have assisted in one engagement session and have had two of my own.

We had fun in a photo scavenger hunt with Stacy and Heather and their spouses.

Also in the past year:

My husband and I bought our first house.

My husband and I had our second wedding anniversary.

My baby sister went away to college and my other sister is set to finish this December.

My brother-in-law got married.

Both my grandfather and Jeremy’s grandmother have found a better lives.

I started attending a new church.

I spoke at a conference in Las Vegas.

I’ve been to three car shows and a cruise-in.

I got a new blog and website. (piggy backing off of Jeremy’s site.)

I’ll be finishing my master’s this December.

We are building a garage.

I threw two surprise parties.

I joined twitter.

I have become more appreciative of my family and my friends.

God has blessed me tremendously and I’d say my first year with my D90 was a pretty good one. My prayer is that I become a better photographer and a better person and that I will always use what I have been given to praise Him and to touch others.
