Thank you! « Tanya & Victor

Gratefulness. Our country has a whole day dedicated to it. A whole people celebrate it with an abundance of meals, preparation and stopping, if not for just a moment, to be with friends and family. I remember the day when our kindergarten teacher asked the group of 6-year-olds in her class, “What is your favorite Holiday?” Of course, without any hesitation the whole lot of them shouted Christmas and one even ventured by saying Easter. I guess I was the only one attuned to the festivities of Thanksgiving. Maybe it was because, I wasn’t used to the whole gift exchange by then or the fact that I couldn’t memorize carols quite well. Thanksgiving allowed me to say thank you for a hundred times a day with no shame. Don’t get me wrong, I give thanks on all the other days, but it’s this one-day where maybe more people are aware of the abundance around us. In the spirit of this day and last year’s declaration here are few things I’m grateful for.

The amazing people I’ve met this year. I met incredible and talented photography teachers who have selflessly given a piece of themselves to the photog community and have place #communityovercompettition
My clients. All of them in their unique personalities and details of their love stories have been entrusted in my smaller-than-average hands.
My puppy Sonny. This year he has brought so much joy and happiness to our home. He constantly greets us with eagerness and love.
My supportive family. My little brother’s continuous shout outs in social media, my little brother’s prayers for our business, and my parents who continue to believe in this dreamer-of-a-daughter.
My colleagues, friends in the industry who have stopped for a second to comment, like and congratulate me on a job well done. Some of who, help bring food to our table by referring to us amazing couples.
My friends (you know who you are), who continually check in to see if I’m still sane after days of silence. You’re always in my thoughts and heart.
For every person who creates content and I just so happen to stumble across your creative genius. I aspire to be just as a blessing to others just as you have to me.

My church. For the constant spiritual push to be better than yesterday. For being a community going after the same thing and creating an environment where I can continually grow.
My dad’s church is under construction, thus the industrial look
My husband. Victor. I have no words. Because even as I type this part, I can’t. Tears overwhelm me. Thank you, babe, for your undying support, daily affection and being such a pillar. Te amo.
JAH. He gives me dreams and stamina to make it happen.
