up to the Tilley house. There was a crispness in the air, and a slight
breeze that made their American flag toss in the wind. </span><br />
<br />
<span class=" _50f4">I walked in to their home and immediately felt at home. They Tilley's
are like that - inviting you in to chat, play games and just be - but
this time I was there to meet the newest edition to their family - Kate!
Sometimes I forget how small we all start out as. Kate was precious -
and hungry - but also the cutest tiniest thing I have ever seen! </span><br />
<br />
<span class=" _50f4">I am
honored to capture this family during their adaptation to handling two
sweet babies! (okay, Logan is not much more of a baby more - but look at
those cheeks!)
Here are some of my favorites! I hope you enjoy!</span><br />

toddlers. Sometimes you have to talk about pizza, puddles of water and
say you can do it better than they can to get them to participate in a
photo shoot. But you know what you get? Priceless memories!<br /> <br /> I
was going to just post a few...but then I fell in love with so many of
these photos. This past Saturday I met up with my dear friends the
Tilley's. Kari, Steven and I used to work at TDCJ together. Kari was one the first ladies I
took bridals of, and I did their maternity session when she was pregnant
with Logan and got to capture his sweet newborn pictures. <br /> <br /> Now the Tilley
family is growing and they are expecting baby Kate this November. I
can't wait to meet her and get some more pictures of this sweet family!
Here are some of my favorites.</span><br />

I have had the itch to get back to conceptual work for some time. <br />
<br />
Recently, <a href="http://brookeshaden.com/gallery/" target="_blank">Brooke Shaden</a> (photographer) posted a challenge on her <a href="http://www.promotingpassion.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> called <i>White Wall Challenge</i> - <i>"It is about taking that blank and boring wall and making it work for us."</i> The challenge pulled at me because I have always wanted to do a conceptual piece inspired by the short story, <a href="http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/YelWal.shtml" target="_blank"><i>The Yellow Wallpaper</i></a>.<br />
<br />
I had always been afraid to do it, because I consider myself a natural light photographer - and I haven't done any conceptual pieces without natural light - and the image I had in mind for this had to be shot without natural light. But when I read Brooke's challenge post, I thought, <i>why not? What have I got to lose?</i><br />
<br />
When my youngest sister came for a visit this weekend, I told her she had to model for me.<i> At least if it turns out terrible, I can have a good laugh with my sister about it. </i><br />
<br />
So I gave her lots of her favorite drink (Dr. Pepper) and convinced her to let me let me do her hair (although the complained via SnapChat the entire time - teenagers! :P), and I dressed her in my old prom dress.<br />
<br />
And then I put her against a wall in my bedroom.<br />
<br />
And while it wasn't a white wall (the walls in my house are all this beige color), it still was a plain old wall. I moved a giant lamp I have in my bedroom off to the side of her and shot for maybe 8 minutes.<br />
<br />
Out of the shots I got I fell in love with two images: I liked her body in one, and her right arm and the shadow in the other. Original two images:<br />
<br />
I loved the shadow of her hand in this one - like she was holding hands with something in the wall. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B_7WjOgYDGc/V5Tu5VPmonI/AAAAAAAAFqk/9eLBF426lt8ZWU4WnBqaYEYo1NMsK_NngCLcB/s1600/Logo-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B_7WjOgYDGc/V5Tu5VPmonI/AAAAAAAAFqk/9eLBF426lt8ZWU4WnBqaYEYo1NMsK_NngCLcB/s640/Logo-11.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I preferred her face/body in this image. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQ5vuanj4yc/V5Tu_JxIyxI/AAAAAAAAFqo/O-4LaYlZTsQS98BKXC1KrsQfpKvU8w9JACLcB/s1600/Logo-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQ5vuanj4yc/V5Tu_JxIyxI/AAAAAAAAFqo/O-4LaYlZTsQS98BKXC1KrsQfpKvU8w9JACLcB/s640/Logo-12.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mQ5vuanj4yc/V5Tu_JxIyxI/AAAAAAAAFqo/O-4LaYlZTsQS98BKXC1KrsQfpKvU8w9JACLcB/s1600/Logo-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So, I mixed the two images, made the frame larger, blended/cloned and added texture (amongst a few other edits).<br />
<br />
And below is the end product, which I have entitled, <i>Not Alone</i>. It's a rather simple image. But it speaks volumes to me. I think the thing I love most about it is how the shadow of her hand makes it seem as though she is holding hands with something in the wall, and she looks at peace - not scared. <br />
<br />

<br />
The challenge wasn't so bad...I think the idea of shooting indoors scared me more than it should have. Thanks Brook Shaden for always challenging and inspiring us - and thanks Liv for modeling for me.<br />

P.S. I am doing some more new pieces this summer, and I have a few
friends who are helping me out with that in August/September - which I
am pretty stoked about [more on that coming soon].

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: black; font-family: inherit;"><em>With a thriving parahuman accounting practice, a steady relationship, and a circle of trusted friends, Fred’s undead life has become more enjoyable than his normal one ever was. Unfortunately, it also seems that he’s no longer the only vampire to appreciate the up-and-coming city of Winslow, Colorado. A new clan of vampires is moving in, and they aren’t well known for tolerating outsiders in their territory.</em></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 15pt;">
<span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: black; font-family: inherit;"><em>Now, Fred must cope with the growing presence—and threat—of other vampires even as he struggles to keep up with his business’s demands and make time for his friends. Between hidden parahuman towns, crazed vampire hunters, quarreling mages, and the world’s least subtle spy, it will take all of Fred’s wiles just to keep his head above water. And as the new clan sinks their fangs deeper and deeper into his city, the undead accountant is faced with a choice between two equally unappealing options: flee his home, or stand against an entire clan of fellow vampires.</em></span></div>

<span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: black; font-family: inherit;">Why should you read this book? Because its author is bloody talented [yeah I said it]. He is also a fellow Texan - so you know I have to spread the love. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Author Bio: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Drew Hayes is an aspiring author from Texas who has written several books and found the gumption to publish a few (so far). He graduated from Texas Tech with a B.A. in English, because evidently he’s not familiar with what the term “employable” means. Drew has been called one of the most profound, prolific, and talented authors of his generation, but a table full of drunks will say almost anything when offered a round of free shots. Drew feels kind of like a D-bag writing about himself in the third person like this. He does appreciate that you’re still reading, though.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Drew would like to sit down and have a beer with you. Or a cocktail. He’s not here to judge your preferences. Drew is terrible at being serious, and has no real idea what a snippet biography is meant to convey anyway. Drew thinks you are awesome just the way you are. That part, he meant. Drew is off to go high-five random people, because who doesn’t love a good high-five? No one, that’s who.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been doing these writing challenges with a close friend of mine. The other day, one of the questions was to pick a single word that describes your personality - and tell why you picked that word. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A single word swirled around in my mind - DETERMINED. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think that describes me pretty well in all aspects of my life. Honestly, I don't like being told I can't accomplish something I want to because of my age, inexperience or sex - and that has always driven me. I want to learn - I want to grow. And whether it's successfully moving out on my own when I was younger, befriending a certain difficult family member, starting a photography business, writing a novel or moving up in the purchasing/contracting world - I want to prove to myself I can do it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So when this certain idea popped into my head about a year(ish) ago, I have been <em>determined </em>to get it going. This year I have taken steps to move this new project forward. What project you ask? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This fall I’ll
be debuting a brand new website and blog, which I’m totally stoked about! I’m
merging my two brands – photography (SPP) and writing (SPR) – into one
fantastical brand. I just got a new logo created by the fabulously talented, <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.cardboardmonet.com/" target="_blank">Ashley Ruggirello</a></span></span>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How often do
you tell someone <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">hey, please mix my
writing and my photography into one logo – oh and hey I really like peacocks</i>
– and you get this out of it:</span> </span></div>

are probably familiar with my first novel <em>The Halves of Us </em>(part I of a trilogy), but I have some other amazing projects. There
will be more information about those on my new site, but I thought I would
tease you a little bit here. I will be looking for some beta readers soon, so

first contacted me about photographing her wedding - I was beyond
thrilled. I knew how much love was going to be at this wedding and I
couldn't wait to capture it. <br /> Texas has had some unbelievable
weather lately, and this day wasn't any different. But rain didn't stop
family and friends of Megan and Jerry to gather together and celebrate. <br />
Jerry's, and his family, are the perfect match to Megan and the
Picket's. These families were made to join together and I was happy to
join them on this day. <br /> Here are some of my favorites from the day, I hope you love! : ]</span><br />

Their families came together, some all the way from Germany, to celebrate the union of these two special people.<br />
<br />
Noel and his groomsmen had such a fun spirit about them - such a close knit bunch of guys. And Courtney was surrounded by her sisters and best friends - who couldn't stop smiling at the gorgeous Bride.<br />
<br />
Oh and did I mention the corvette? Yeah...best wedding ever! <br />
<br />
I was welcomed in and felt privileged to capture the day. The weather here in Texas has been pretty intense lately - and a few showers sprinkled us in the early afternoon, but by wedding time the sun was shining!<br />
<br />
I am excited to share these images with you - I hope you enjoy!<br />

It has been a hectic year...a hectic busy year. One that involved losing a dear member of my family - my Uncle Buddy Gregg, and Cody and I moving three hours away to a new city - both starting brand new jobs.<br /><br />I'll say it again - hectic. <br /><br />But during that time, we celebrated my sweet grandmother, MommaMilly's, 84th birthday out at her lovely home. <br /><br />I feel terrible about posting these so late, but I absolutely loved looking over them and remembering that day. Miss you fam - and I will see you all soon! : ] <br /><br />A lot of these in black and white, sorry - it makes me love the memories even more. : ]<span data-offset-key="bdq6b-0-0"><span data-text="true"> </span></span><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="b8v6" data-offset-key="bdq6b-0-0">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So I thought I would do a post to catch you up on where I am in the
submission process – how I am feeling about it all…and answer the question I
get asked often now - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when is your book
getting published?</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">My last round of submissions went out earlier this week (minus a few
folks, whom she still has out other submissions by other authors with and they
can only submit one at a time to editors). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Quick recap - <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Late summer/early fall of last year, I signed with my Literary Agent,
Rebecca Angus at Golden Wheat Literary (read about that <a href="http://sydneypaigephotographyblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/announcement-how-i-got-my-agent-rebecca.html" target="_blank">here</a>). We revised my first novel, The Halves
of Us – a few times, until she thought it was ready to go out on submission to
editors/publishers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We sent out the first round of submissions in November. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">One rejection and one full request later, January came around and we
sent out the second wave of submissions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Two full requests later, we hit March and did the last round of
submissions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">During this time frame my thoughts have ranged from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this story is kickass</i> to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I should drown this manuscript and myself in
a bottle of wine and pretend it never happened.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><em></em></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><o:p><img alt="Sisters movie drinking drink monday" class="a-gif" data-absolute-url="/gifs/sistersmovie-movie-sisters-xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg" data-bitly_gif_url="http://gph.is/1mMM4cn" data-edit-url="/gifs/sistersmovie-movie-sisters-xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/edit" data-gif_id="xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg" data-id="xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg" data-image_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/giphy.gif" data-mp4_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/giphy.mp4" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="500" data-padding-top="84" data-preview-image-url="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/100.gif" data-still="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/giphy_s.gif" data-tumblr_share_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/giphy-tumblr.gif" height="112" id="gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/xTka03MJaW81LHt0sg/giphy.gif" style="height: 452.41px; width: 805px;" width="200" /></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I kept myself busy throughout this submission time frame by
participating in my first NaNoWriMo (read about that <a href="http://sydneypaigephotographyblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/nanowrimo-lets-try-and-do-this.html" target="_blank">here</a>) which allowed me to
get halfway through book three of The Halves of Us trilogy. And then I set it
to the side for some clarity, while going back and forth between two of my WIPs (occasionally
taking break from those to write down first chapters to potential stories from
dreams I have had – and if you keep up with my Facebook – you know how crazy
those can get –ha!). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Throughout this I have basically tried not think about the whole submission
process – but anxiously thought about every little part of the entire process
the whole time. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">A few nights ago I finally reached the peak of my anxious craziness
when I had a dream that my manuscript caught on fire, and I poured water on it
but then a lot of the words were erased or disappeared…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">And I
freaked out because apparently it was the only freaking copy of my manuscript. My
anxiety and fear grew and the overwhelming dread I had about being an ultimate
failure in the publishing world started to get to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<img alt="funny work panic stress panicing" class="a-gif" data-absolute-url="/gifs/funny-work-panic-JS15XhETmab0A" data-bitly_gif_url="http://gph.is/1cNzbpN" data-edit-url="/gifs/funny-work-panic-JS15XhETmab0A/edit" data-gif_id="JS15XhETmab0A" data-id="JS15XhETmab0A" data-image_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/giphy.gif" data-mp4_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/giphy.mp4" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="500" data-padding-top="68" data-preview-image-url="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/100.gif" data-still="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/giphy_s.gif" data-tumblr_share_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/giphy-tumblr.gif" height="450" id="gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/JS15XhETmab0A/giphy.gif" style="height: 450px; width: 718px;" width="718" /><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">After talking with Rebecca and a dear writer friend of mine, I calmed
down, hashed out my thoughts, prayed a little, drank a bunch of wine and ate
chocolate ice cream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Needless to say, my bad thoughts have faded (though not completely diminished, I'm human) – but my stomach doesn’t
feel so great. :P I'll cut back on the ice cream!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I wondered if other authors out there ever felt this fear I was
feeling during this in between process, and took to Twitter to converse with my
writer friends there and read a bunch of Writer’s Digest articles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I found that this fear is relatively normal. Your book baby is going
out into the world and you love it so very, very much – and you just want
others to adore it as much as you! This fear doesn’t really go away after you
get an agent – you just have someone by your side who cheers and pushes you (lovingly) onward. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Luckily, I have very supportive friends and family, and an agent who
is the best person ever (literally, she’s that awesome, y’all. Rebecca gets me –
and I am happy to call her my agent and friend).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">So when is my book getting published? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I don’t know specifics, but one day. :] <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Most people assume you can write a book and automatically just publish
it or you get an agent and all of a sudden your book will appear on a shelf in
stores worldwide. While there are options that are a lot faster in getting your
book out to readers, I went the traditional route in seeking an agent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Rebecca sent out my proposal to prospective publishers and editors in November –
this is the submission phase. If any of those individuals are interested, they
may request the full manuscript. This is a waiting period, as they have many
manuscripts to read among their many other job duties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Sometimes they make an offer – sometimes they pass. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">If they do make an offer, then there is negotiations on the contract –
which also can take time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Then comes the round of edits, working with a team on advertisement/social
media, and planning a publishing date - usually a year (sometimes longer) from
the actual signing of the contract. The publishing world takes time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">And that's okay - I have plenty of wine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Hopefully, sometime this year I will be able to tell you I have signed
a contract and get to share my book with so many readers - for now I will continue on with my writing and editing. Those of you out there stuck in the in between part - stay strong, we got this! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">(SIDE NOTE: By no way am I requesting you stop asking me about my book
– just now you can ask how my submission process is going! ; ] )<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">In about three months, Without Benefits
(by <a href="http://nicoleatone.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Tone</a>) will be available for e-readers! But today we get to look at the amazing cover,
designed by </span><a href="https://twitter.com/amRuggs" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ashley</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> at </span><a href="http://www.cardboardmonet.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Cardboard Monet</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "calibri";">! Ashley
even did a special photo shoot just for this cover (and we all know how much I
love that kind of creativity) - so that made this cover even more amazing to
me! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Here is a bit about the book: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">"Emma will always be a New Yorker at
heart, even though she has a perfect life in Seattle. She has a prestigious job
fundraising for the Seattle Symphony, a handsome boyfriend who adores her, and
a Belltown apartment with views of the Sound. It should be more than enough to
keep her pain from not playing the piano, and her 9/11 nightmares, away.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">But when her old college crush, Owen,
comes back into her life, it’s more than just spending time with him that’s
causing cracks in her picture-perfect life. As she steps back on stage, and
back into the spotlight, her connection with Owen and his world, dredges up old
memories that Emma worked hard to forget.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Emma’s past comes back to haunt her,
forcing her to face the truth about more than just her fears of returning back
to New York. As her once perfect life begins to burn down, Emma is forced to
figure out what she really wants: her fundraiser and cocktail party-filled life
with her boyfriend, or forging a new future with the one thing, and one person,

I posted my review on Goodreads (you can read it <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1468767590?book_show_action=false" target="_blank">here</a>), and now I have the opportunity to interview Cait about her novel.<br />
<br />
So this novel you guys...this NOVEL! You <b>need</b> to read this! <br />
<br />
Here is a little bit about <i>From Under the Mountain: </i><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 138%; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 138%;">As the second child of the Aridan
imperial family, nineteen-year-old Guerline knows exactly what is expected of
her: be unobtrusive, be compliant, and do not fall in love with her low-born
companion, Eva. She has succeeded at only two of those.</span></i></div>
<i>
</i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 138%; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 138%;">But before her feelings for Eva can
become a point of contention for the royal house, Guerline’s calm and narrow
life is ripped away from her—in the course of a single night—and she is
abruptly cast in the role of empress.</span></i></div>
<i>
</i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 138%; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 138%;">Faced with a council that
aggressively fears the four witch clans charged with protecting Arido and
believes they are, in fact, waging war against the humans, Guerline struggles
to maintain order. As her control over the land crumbles, she learns that the
war is rooted in a conflict much older than she realized—one centuries in the
making, which is now crawling from under the mountain and into the light. With
the fate of Arido hanging in the balance, Guerline must decide who to trust
when even her closest councilors seem to have an agenda.</span></i></div>
<i>
</i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 138%; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 138%;">Darkly cinematic, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From Under the Mountain</span> pairs the
sweeping landscape of epic fantasy with the personal journey of finding one’s
voice in the world, posing the question: how do you define evil, when
everything society tells you is a lie?</span></i></div>

<u>Sydney: What did you enjoy
most about writing this book?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: This book was very exploratory. The fact that it’s the first book
set in this world, and that I’ve been working on it for so long, means that
there was a lot of discovery and conceptualization involved in the process. The
best part of writing is always the asking and answering of “What if?” And with
this book, I got to do that over, and over, and over, and <i>over </i>again. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<u>
</u><br />
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: Your main character,
Guerline, what was your inspiration behind her?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: When I was younger, I tended to gravitate toward the super
powerful characters. The idea of being able to silence everyone with a gesture,
Vader-style, of not having to explain myself or compromise, really appealed to
me—I am a Slytherin, after all. This is still somewhat true (Fiona and Ianthe
are my favorite characters, which is probably telling). But as I got older, I
read books about the powerful and wondered what it would be like to be in that
situation with <i>no</i> real power. That’s the process that led to Guerline.
She’s an empress, yes, but her power comes from a collective societal agreement
to give her power, and compared to that of the magical beings she encounters,
she’s got no obvious way to match them, and that’s something she has to deal
with in the book.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: What real-life
inspirations did you draw from for the world-building within your book?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: Because I started on the book so young and worked on it so long,
I’m afraid I can’t recall specific examples. Everything has a real-life analog,
though, whether it’s direct (like the government hierarchy) or something that
gets changed and questioned. In the latter case, it was mostly a question of
thinking of something in the real world and asking, why? Why is it like this?
How could it be different? What would cause that difference? A lot of the
world-building evolved in the last few years, in subtle ways, based on the
conversations I’ve witnessed about representation. Those discussions, mostly on
Twitter and Tumblr, were a major influence on me to question the world I’d
created. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: They say an author
puts a bit of themselves into novels. Did you put a bit of yourself into any of
your characters – which ones?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: Oh yes, I think it would be hard not to, even if it’s just the
tiniest sliver of ourselves. To be honest, I think the character who is most
like me is Fiona: stoic and stern, has difficulty showing compassion despite
feeling it, vulnerable but proud. I’d like to think I’m like Guerline
sometimes, but I don’t really have her patience, haha.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<u>
</u><br />
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: I am always
interested in how authors come up with their titles and the process they went
through with that. How did you come up with the title and how long did it take?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: It took me seven years to come up with <i>From Under the Mountain</i>.
The story, such as it was, was originally called <i>A Witch’s Way</i>, and then
<i>Of Magic and Might</i>. I didn’t come up with the current title until I
finished the manuscript in 2012; I pulled the title from a scene that I’d
written. That’s the way I like to do it, if at all possible. I did the same
thing with <i>I See the Web</i>. </div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: I see on your Twitter and
Facebook author page that you did a fashion show and have done a lot of art
work (painting/drawing) that goes along with your book. That is fascinating and
I think takes your artistry to a new level. When you started that, did you
think the art work would be a part of the cover of your book? Did you work with
anyone to design the cover and what was that relationship like?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: Thank you! I’ve always been an admirer of art, and fan art
especially. When I decided to rekindle my artistic skill, it was primarily out
of a desire to make sure my characters were represented accurately. This became
even more important to me after I decided to make Guerline a black woman. I
didn’t have any idea of that art actually being part of the cover, when I
started, until I became aware of the dearth of stock photos, especially fantasy
stock, with black models. At that point—and this was before I even signed with
REUTS—an illustrated cover became my goal. Once I signed with REUTS, I still
wasn’t sure that my talents would be up to snuff, but I kept at it, until I
produced something that I thought was good enough. I did the illustration, and
Ashley (Ruggirello) put the cover together.</div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<u>Sydney: Last question, and
it’s a fun one – you could be any animal for a day (real or fictional), what
would you be and why?</u></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
Cait: I would be a dragon. Wings, built-in armor, constantly warm? It’s
a dream come true! </div>

Besides she can sing really pretty and I want all the clothes in her
DRESSING ROOM (yeah, she has a dressing room people. Be jealous.)<br /> <br />
Amongst all that…Sarah looks good eating cake. We had a blast just
playing dress up and smashing a cake for her 30th birthday. I can say
this is one of the most fun I have had on a shoot in a while…plus she
fed me cheese, crackers and wine afterwards…so you know….she knows the
way to my heart. <br /> <br /> Here are some of my favorites from our super amazing smash cake fun shoot. Hope you enjoy! :]</span><br />

I had just
begun my new job as a Contract Specialist, I had made the choice to remove my
photography advertisement from The Knot.com so I could focus on my writing, I
was two months into my query process for my first novel and almost finished completing
my second novel.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">have</i> a busy schedule. Writing is hard,
but it is thrilling to create something. Carving time out of my life for it
proved to be hectic at times, but when you love something, you find the time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I work
Monday-Friday at an 8-5 desk job, with some great people who keep me going.
Weekends is when I would schedule most of my shoots and any evening is where I
would find time to edit those photos or write. Factor in family time into
that…only lead me to one conclusion – we need more hours in a day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I
did something I have been wanting to do for many years and that was create
photographs that go with my first novel, The Halves of Us! I want to share them
so badly with you, but I am still editing and holding off for the big reveal!

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Speaking of
my first novel, this past year I reached another one of my major goals and signed
with my agent, Rebecca Angus of Golden Wheat Literary! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I also
participated in my first NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and got over
50,000 words written in one month! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
All in all –
2015 was a good year. A trying year, trust me there were ups and downs, but I
am thrilled to start 2016 off with some fresh new goals! This year I will
continue to focus on my writing, but will still continue to shoot a limited
number of weddings.</div>

But I also
want to make a list of things I need to work on…sounds silly. But I know there
are some things in my life I need to make better…or maybe not focus on as much.
I’d like to tell you negativity doesn’t affect me and I can throw some saying
out there about letting go of the bad things in your life, but those are just
words. I plan to do these things. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Things I need to work on</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- Letting go
of negativity, and knowing that sometimes I might need the help of others to do
so. I keep things bottled up inside sometimes, and let it eat at me. I don’t
want to do that this year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- Lazy
mornings. My mornings have got out of hand. I use to be such a morning person,
up the earliest and getting the day going. Now I push the snooze buttons more
times than I would care to admit. I want to get the mornings back – this will
give me those extra hours I complain about not having in the day! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- The past
few years I have really embraced wardrobe changes and I want to continue with
that – by – and I say this hesitantly – embracing color. Yeah you heard me, I
want to wear more color this year. [side note: that does not mean I will not be
wearing my signature color black :P ]. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- Push
myself out of my comfort zones to continue to grow. I try to do this, and this
year I want to continue to do this and keep moving forward in my journey as an
artist. But…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
- Personal
time. Find time to set aside for myself to recharge. I’m guilty of attempting
to do too much and pushing myself too hard. I need to set time aside to just
be. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As I
mentioned before, I stopped my advertisement on wedding photography, but that doesn’t
mean I wasn’t booking any. I did photograph weddings this year – and
had some big firsts for me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
But my
photography business did take the back seat this year. To be honest, I do miss
it greatly, but focusing on my writing this year has been a dream come true for
me. That being said, I appreciate all my new clients this year and I hope you
have a wonderful first year of marriage together! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
So to wrap
this year neatly in a bow, I’m posting a few of my favorite photos I have
captured this year (weddings, portraits and family sessions)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #181818; mso-highlight: white;">Cait Spivey is
a speculative fiction writer, author of high fantasy FROM UNDER THE MOUNTAIN
and the horror novella series, “The Web“. Her enduring love of fantasy started
young, thanks to authors like Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Diane Duane, Tamora
Pierce, and many more. Now, she explores the rules and ramifications of magic
in her own works—and as a panromantic asexual, she’s committed to queering her
favorite genres. In her spare time, she plans her next tattoo (there will
always be a next tattoo) and watches too much Netflix. Anything left over is
devoted to her tireless quest to make America read more. She lives in Portland,
Oregon, with her darling husband Matt and adorable dog Jay. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></div>

I love seeing familiar faces (and some new ones too!) and having
everyone in the community come together for such an important cause. <br /> <br />
A cold front blew in that morning, but it didn't stop everyone from
coming out! Thanks to everyone who comes to these events and help raise
awareness!</span><br />

A month ago I was
in my home office, updating my dry erase board calendar. I drew small
black rectangles in the box of each day and convinced myself I could do
it.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
By it, I mean participate in my first NaNoWriMo
(National Novel Writing Month). November was National Novel Writing Month and the goal is get 50,000 words written (average of 1700 words a day).
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
I made my own personal goal of just trying to
write every day (even if I didn’t reach the 1700 word mark) and attempt
to reach 50,000 words by the end of the month. I started off pretty
good, and had some fantastic days (hello 4000+ words
in one day!)</div>

And missed one day. I’m not going to

<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
This month I worked on book three of my series
The Halves of Us (THOU). I figured it was a good way to dive into
writing the last book, and boy was it! But I also had some inspiration
from dreams and worked on little side projects.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
All in all I had 50,914 words written for THOU and 7,717 written on the side projects for a total of 58,631 during my first NaNoWriMo! </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Was it hard? YES. There were some days were I would look toward my home office and cringe knowing I had to go in there. (I know that sounds awful). But some days are hard...lets be real. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
But other days, I couldn't stop...maybe the lack of sleep and wine helped with creativity...who knows! </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Will I participate next year? Eh, I won't decide that just yet. While this pushed me creatively, I don't know where I will be at this time next year (editing wise/writing wise). But that being said, I do recommend it...even if you set your own goals to just try and write every day. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
I’m really proud of myself for sticking with it and writing <i>almost</i> every day (two days missed, one being sick and
the other was Thanksgiving). </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Congrats to everyone who participated…now comes the hard part…editing!

Plus my younger sister's birthday (which she won't let me forget about...she's going to be 14 so birthdays are still awesome).<br />
This time of year is also when I photograph the Huntsville Heart Walk and family/portrait sessions get booked pretty fast with the holidays getting closer and graduation (I live in a college town).<br />
<br />
And on top of ALL that, for the first time I have decided to participate in NaNoWriMo. What is that?<br />
<br />
<img alt="writing animated GIF " class="a-gif" data-absolute-url="/gifs/XIqCQx02E1U9W" data-bitly_gif_url="http://gph.is/1xhfQug" data-edit-url="/home/gifs/XIqCQx02E1U9W/edit/" data-gif_id="XIqCQx02E1U9W" data-id="XIqCQx02E1U9W" data-image_url="https://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy.gif" data-mp4_url="http://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy.mp4" data-original-height="280" data-original-width="500" data-padding-top="85" data-preview-image-url="http://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/100.gif" data-still="http://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy_s.gif" data-tumblr_share_url="http://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy-tumblr.gif" height="450.8" id="gif" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/XIqCQx02E1U9W/giphy.gif" style="height: 450.8px; width: 805px;" width="805" /><br />
<br />
<br />
It is national novel writing month! Yes, you attempt to write a novel in a month...well the collective goal seems to be to reach 50,000 words. (note: my first fantasy manuscript with my agent right now is at 90,000 words).<br />
<br />
So, that is approximately 1700 words a day. The whole month.<br />
<br />
I am blogging about this so you can hold me accountable. This month is crazy and I have a full time job and own a business - yet I still do this ol' writing thing because I love it. Why not use it to get my third installment of my series going?<br />
<br />
I'd like to reach the 50,000 word goal - but really I just want to write...everyday. Even if its 306 words or 5100 words (wouldn't that be fantastic?!) I just want to write everyday...and hopefully not have my head explode.<br />

</a><br />
So friends, check on me throughout the month...please. Pretty please. Make sure I am keeping my sanity (or what I have left of it). <br />
<br />
Example: today I got in 2161 words. Whoohoo!<br />
<br />
Hopefully I can keep this up! Anyone else participating in NaNoWriMo? <br />

No, seriously - it really was. The weather was perfect, the skies were clear - the day ran by smoothly. <br /> <br />
But there was also so much love and joy surrounding Meghan and Tyler
you couldn't help to but to smile. After they said their vows, everyone
was ready to party (and boy did they). <br /> <br /> I had a hard time
choosing favorites from this one - and wanted to do a post purely
showing off the reception dance party (which I might later...keep a look
out). <br /> <br /> Tyler says Meghan is the cheese to his grilled
cheese...and I agree - they are perfectly matched. Thank you both so
much for allowing me the opportunity to capture your special day! </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This year I
did not take on as much photography projects that I normally do – but for another passion that is near and dear to my heart – I focused on my storytelling, my
writing. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">See, as I
mentioned in my previous posting – I wrote a manuscript and I have been editing
it like crazy and sending it out on submission. It is a harrowing task (believe
it or not) – preparing the query letter, a single page letter that will entice
an agent to ask to read your page and possibly represent you. One that started
for me back in November of 2014. Rejection is a part of it, but so is learning
– and if any of you know me – you know I picked up the pieces and continued on.
But I am not going to lie, it was hard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Authors – or
really any artist out there will tell you that they have experienced doubt- and
it can be oh so crippling. It can take over your mind and influence your work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As a
photographer I handled doubt with creating something to represent my feelings.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As an
author, I emailed or text my writer group buddy Tiffany and asked her to pray
for me – or talk me down from the ledge as I prepared to toss my manuscript off
of it and run away. Or call my best friend Sam for a bottle of wine and
chocolate cake to get me through the process. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have found
amazing friends – and an awesome community thanks to my writer’s group and
twitter. I now know that ever author experiences moments like that. I am so
thankful for friends lifting me back up after those crazy thoughts and helping
me pick up the pages. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Okay…this
post has a point…I promise…announcement time…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It happened.
I officially have an agent! I have representation! It’s for real. Finally! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As I
mentioned before, this journey of querying started in November 2014 for me. And
it’s nearly been a year, but I am glad for everything I went through. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I had taken
a break from querying during the spring of this year to focus on finishing the second manuscript for the series and editing on the first manuscript after feedback from beta readers and
agents who eventually passed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Late Spring,
I had won a full manuscript read/critique from an editor I had gotten to know
on twitter and was awaiting her response. Summer approached with me editing,
editing and editing. In July there was an update on M<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">SWL</span> (manuscript wish
list). I stalked the MSWL hashtag feed on twitter (you can follow me on twitter
<a href="https://twitter.com/sydsayingthings" target="_blank"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">HERE</span></a>) and the MSWL
<a href="http://mswishlist.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. I made a list of a few people I felt my story catered to their wishes and
I decided to query again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">One of those
wishes belonged to Rebecca Angus. She stated she was looking for fantasy with strong female characters who aren't afraid to save the world on their own. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 107%;"></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My heart
fluttered. I looked her up, a relatively new agent – developing a client list
and working for Golden Wheat Literary. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">On Monday,
July 27<sup>th</sup> I went ahead and sent her my query. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">That Friday,
I had taken a half day from work to further prepare for the shoot I had the
next day (for the manuscript) and as I was sitting at table in my kitchen with
my husband, Cody, my phone started blinking, signifying I had an email. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A G-mail
email. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From my
author email account. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Another rejection.</i> I sighed as I opened
it and skimmed over the first few lines. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My heart
stopped and I think I made a weird face because Cody stopped talking and asked
me if I was okay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Nope, not
okay. My heart had stopped. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She wanted
the full manuscript. The FULL manuscript. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I
immediately ran to my laptop and emailed her back and we corresponded a few
times afterwards within the hour. She was from Texas but had moved away. She
had lived in College Station and actually knew where Huntsville was when I
called it<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Prison City</i> and mentioned
SHSU. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I starred
her on twitter so I started getting pings every time she sent out a tweet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">We
corresponded about our love for David Tennant and certain songs on Spotify. I
liked her. And did some mad research (aka stalking) on her and checked out a
few of her clients on Twitter – who only had wonderful things to say about her.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I went to my
list of questions I had been gathering for quite some time to ask an agent (if
I ever got one) and revised them. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I waited - and I know it takes time, but as time went on, my heart dropped just slightly each day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then came August
18. It was a hectic day at the cubicle job and one of my lifelong best friends
(and co-worker) asked me lunch. While riding over, my phone started blinking
again. When I saw it was from Rebecca, I will admit, I was nervous – and almost
didn’t open it right away. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But I did. It
wasn’t a rejection letter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But it
wasn’t a let’s make a phone date letter either. Still, I was excited…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I read over
it countless times during my lunch, not saying much to my friend (thankfully another
co-worker was with us so my silence didn’t effect lunch). I got back to work
and read it over – again and again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">She wanted to work with me. She had some
revision suggestions. Was I open to that process? </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was an
R&R request – and truth be told I was excited about it! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I had always
assumed that agents would have revision suggestions or edits they would request
their clients to make before sending it out on submission – granted I didn’t
know for sure – as I am not an agent. But I was open to feedback and making my
story the absolute STRONGEST it could be. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But I won’t
lie – I was nervous. I didn’t want to get overly excited and nothing come from
this. I discussed it with my best friends, Sam, Stephen and my husband Cody. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And later
that evening, I responded yes to her email. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She was
quick to respond and would get some chapters back to me by September 13<sup>th</sup>.
Rebecca wanted me to review her suggestions…and let her know what I thought. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">During that
waiting period we corresponded on twitter about life, doctor who, busy work
days and in-laws. One day I mentioned how I was reviewing the photographs from
my big conceptual shoot I did around the manuscript and working on editing the
second manuscript of the series.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oooh! What?</i> she asked. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<img alt="galv5Il" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21682" src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/galv5Il.gif" height="286" width="508" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Okay maybe
she didn’t exactly look like that – but I was hoping she was excited and
curious. She said she would email me by the nights end – on September 7<sup>th</sup>.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And that she
did. I was just finishing a TV show with my husband before we went to bed and
bam – there was her email. She wanted more details about my plans for the book
and characters. So of course I stayed up all night drafting a response. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The next day
I reviewed the response on and off at work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was nerve
racking. How much was too much or how much was too little to share? Should I
just send her the book…no, no it is a rough draft – seriously my thoughts were
EVERYWHERE. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So at lunch,
I finally sent the email. Would she love it – would she have more questions,
would it make her hesitate? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So. MANY.
Thoughts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Then we
scheduled a conference call. (*cue insane happy dancing*)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was
basically no help that day at all at work, filled with excitement and nerves – and I had writers group that night.
I hadn’t shared anything with them since mentioning an agent requested the full
manuscript. I was scared borderline terrified and I wondered if any other
authors out there in the world felt like this…and that we need to create a
support group… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I only
shared with a handful of people – and asked a few others for prayers and happy
thoughts while I waited for Sunday to approach. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Well, I
personally think my body hates me because on Wednesday my neck started to hurt
and I thought I had pulled a muscle in my neck. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: small;">But Friday
morning, my neck looked like a frog and my cheeks were so puffy I looked like a

<span style="font-size: small;">Well, Sunday
came and I was on some heavy pain meds and antibiotics. The swelling had gone
down a bit. I had curled my hair – which is EXTREMELY hard to do when you have
a swollen neck and can’t turn very well. I burnt my ear, but my hair looked
sort cute and masked the insane, bulging lymph nodes on my neck. I kept begging
myself not to say anything stupid…</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was
nervous…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was
upfront with Rebecca about my sickness but told her I wanted to persevere.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our
conversation lasted a little over an hour and I may have lost my train of
thought towards the end due to the meds, but Rebecca was so kind, and I felt
like I had made a dear friend! I took lots of notes, we discussed some
revisions and how to make my manuscript stronger! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was beyond
thrilled when she said she was going to send me a contract! But I tried to keep
my cool and that with a mixture of the pain meds, probably had me looking like
this: </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I sent the
remainder of my questions and a few contract questions to her after I started
to feel well (which was actually almost a week later and she was then sick
too!) :/ </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">During this
time I actually told a few more people about our meeting and that she offered.
I didn’t even tell my Mother until one of my drug (prescription) induced random
texting (I wasn’t allowed to talk for a few days due to serious inflammation on
my face/jaw. It was hard y’all).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Because I
had DREAMED of this moment. I had longed for it – ever writer does! And now my
dream had come true – and I was so scared it would flutter away (let’s blame
the drugs and my swollen lymph nodes for my moment of self-doubt).</span></div>

On the first day of August 2015, I did something that I have been wanting to do for a few years.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
It was wonderful, painful, scary, a dream come true and tiring. But I loved every minute of it.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
It all started back in 2008 when I woke up from a
nightmare and wrote it down. I was terrified as a crimson haired, crazy
girl shouted at me in an alleyway before she cursed me and then kissed
my cheek. Black lines moved in my veins, like
worms moving through the dirt. I awoke, scratching at my arms and my
heart pounding in my chest.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Thankfully, Cody didn’t think anything odd of it
– he was use to my wild, vivid dreams. But I couldn’t get it out of my
mind. After that, dreams I had started playing together and I filled in the blanks.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
I continued writing this story, shelving it for a
year or so and dusting it back off again to only shelve it again. But
it was my baby. And I couldn’t just let it go.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Fast-forward to now and I am querying the first manuscript, the second one going through a few beta
readers before some major editing and the third one outlined in the
trilogy I call
<i>The Halves of Us</i>. My first manuscript has officially gone through
twenty-one drafts (okay much, much more that, but I have saved only
twenty-one of them). Numerous beta readers. Partial requests. Editing.
Rejections. Editing. Full requests. Waiting.
Waiting. More editing. Waiting…</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
A few years back I made it known I wanted to do a
conceptual piece around this book. My search began by looking for a
model to portray these characters.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Little did I know I was such a picky person...but I wanted someone I could see as the characters and I wanted a natural red head.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Earlier this year I found her. All because of a new co-worker I decided to share my story with. She was like
<i>I know a red-head who models. </i></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
I mean really? What are the odds? I was hesitant
to get excited…but when I saw her pictures I thought yes! This is what I
was looking for!</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
And then emailed her. How weird right? To email
someone – hey I have this book and I want to do a conceptual piece
around it. Will you pose for me?
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Surprisingly, Emily said yes. My dear friend Bethany gave her expertise on hair and make-up. My
best friend Samantha helped design the wardrobe and assisted me in bringing my
props to life. And my talented, understanding and
inspiring photographer friend <a href="http://www.niconordstrom.com/" target="_blank">Nico Nordstrom</a> provided me with her
expertise, knowledge of new equipment I had never used before and
advice for my first large conceptual piece.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Texas weather was rather angry this spring part of the summer and our shoot date got rescheduled to August 1.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Texas. Mid-summer. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
But we persevered. We moved through. I was out of my comfort zone for sure. And who knew generators were so loud?
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
It was an all-day process. Two looks. Six shots I wanted to capture. [Plus who knows what would inspire us once we got there].
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
My feet ached at the end of the day. I was sweating in places that I won’t mention. Exhaustion doesn’t cover it.
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
But I was happy. So very happy. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Now I am not going to post any of the photos just yet… just wanted to show you some behind the scenes! Tease you a little… : ]
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
I want to say a giant thank you to Samantha
Casper – thanks for dealing with all my crazy ideas and shopping with
me. Nico Nordstrom, thank you for helping me understand my vision
clearer and for helping me through my first big shoot. Bethany
Poortenga – my gosh where would I be without you!? I am grateful more
than you will ever know! Emily Paige Wedgeworth – I am so glad I found
you. Thanks for dealing with us during multiple fittings and
make-up/hair trials, plus all day long during the shoot
- the heat, the wardrobe and EVERYTHING. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Shout out to my younger sister, Olivia, and Bethany’s friend, Angelica, for help with the morning shoot. You guys are amazing!

It seems every day this month we have seen rain - and Justin and Michelle's wedding day was no different.<br />
<br />
The rain came...and it poured. But Michelle was all smiles as she slipped into her beautiful wedding dress. And well - the rain didn't matter. Because they had each other and their closest friends and family there with them to celebrate.<br />
<br />
And after they said their vows, the rain disappeared. The evening was spent celebrating their friendship and love.<br />
<br />
I love getting to photograph weddings, but there is something special about being a part of your friends' wedding day. Congrats Justin & Michelle and thank you for the amazing Doctor Who gifts (seriously, best gift everrr!)<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of my favorites from their day! <br />
