2011: darling, so it goes

There could never be enough words for the pictures or pictures for the stories, but here’s an attempt.
From opening a studio to moving my home, to finding home in another – 2011 was a year for stretching and hope and excitement like none other. Hard decisions and lessons learned and long talks...

Love this collection, RJ. Esp the pipe pics, the barometer, all the Scotland pics, Carrie, Tia and Tyler (ummmm where are the ressst of these?), all the stairs pics, the balcony RJ+J, the underwater shots, the beach wedding, um, well pretty much all of them.

Well, it’s happened.
The realities of responsible adulthood have stepped in and decided things with / without the consent of my irrational optimism.
Largest and most significant – giving up my studio.
( next week. )
I’ve had it for exactly a year, and its purpose has changed a lot since we began. My darling friend Carrie and I...

I’m sorry you have to close your beautiful shop. Beautiful Pictures!

sarah - November 22, 2011 - 4:55 pm

proud of you for the grown up you are, love… hard as it may be. such sweet, good things coming!!

Anna - November 22, 2011 - 5:05 pm

It is NOT a failure :) I think it was wonderful that you had your studio. This is an opportunity for bigger and BETTER things :) Best of luck my dear!

michele - November 22, 2011 - 5:11 pm

Sometimes the hardest decisions are the smartest ones :)
Blessings to you in your new journey!

Taylor Hiers - November 22, 2011 - 9:23 pm

I am sad! But at the same time very excited for what’s to come next. Love you dearly my saucy friend :)

Laurajane - November 22, 2011 - 9:59 pm

sad day. i loved getting to see your studio. it really was lovely. even with boys living in your house i’m sure it’s just as lovely as your studio because you are lovely. and splatter painting note cards, that’s just awesome. i love that idea so much.

Carrie - November 22, 2011 - 11:41 pm

How I so wish that I could be there with you and keep the studio with you!!! I so dearly loved that place and all that it meant and it was so sad for me to leave it. Man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps. So here are to the new adventures of our little collective that is still very much alive! The best is yet to come!

Anna - November 23, 2011 - 7:36 am

Oh, Bekah J! Sad you are closing down your studio but sure whatever GOD has for you next is even better! Love you “Journey Mom!”

Fotograf ślubny Lublin - November 24, 2011 - 12:58 pm

Great news:)

kellyhicks - December 6, 2011 - 3:17 pm

Love what you said about refusing to see this as failure but rather a smart move for you and your business – lots of times we are scared to make a decision when it means closing a door but just remember this will open new ones! :)

comes from nothing at all
