Letting go of perfection (which my mind disguised as “good enough”) and working on embracing my RIGHT NOW LIFE.
I see this image and remember how I couldn’t quite hold the camera straight, but I also remember how much fun we had exploring a new trail. And how thankful I am that my son’s run is just barely faster than my walk.

A slowwwww re-branding is in process as I re-define my goals and discover what genre of imagery fits my innate process.
Meanwhile, you can find me exploring the ins and outs of doing photography and social media from inside of a favorite local business.

When your photo is used by NASA!

"To write challenges, Denio reaches out to NASA scientists to consult with them about what might be both possible and practical for a two-day hackathon – such as a sensor that could be used on Mars. Last year he also wrote a challenge that led participants to imagine their own version of the "golden record," a disk containing the sights and sounds of Earth that both of NASA's Voyager spacecraft carry. For Space Apps 2018, teams could choose to their own time capsules to represent humanity to the rest of the galaxy.

"It's fun to get creative and to write it in such a way that you allow the participants to get creative. So, I try not to give them too much direction on what I'm expecting, [leaving] it open-ended to see what kind of creative solution they can come up with," he said."

It's extra cool when you actually know they guy you happened to take a photograph of who happened to be picked up by a NASA article. It's not that surprising though, Denio's a cool dude.

It's hard for me to believe I got an amazing shoot like this. Not only is this project epic, but Polaris is excellent to work with. I had so much fun keeping the team up till 2 am to get some of these shots;

To honor and celebrate the legends of the Apollo 11 mission, Polaris Industries collaborated with the US Space and Rocket Center (USSRC) in Huntsville, Alabama to create a working replica of the Lunar Rover.

Wow how business has grown! Last year I was photographing the Entrepreneur Awards and one of my clients won, and this year I and three of my clients were nominated. I couldn't attend this year, but am so honored to be a part of it.
My life has been sooooo different this year. The nomination actually came at such a good time as I was considering throwing in the towel and shutting down the business. Freelancing is tough, and having a baby makes it harder to network and grow. So just when I was questioning if it was worth it for me, this award stepped in as if to say "hey Raeley, we do like your work, and you might be growing slowly but you are growing." So thank you Huntsville!

Observing events that spur Huntsville forward are fun enough, so seeing my photos as blog covers is just icing on the cake!
There really are some great tech events for entrepreneurs here.

Toni Eberhart was working with the U.S. Social Security Administration outside Washington, D.C., when the itch to do something more creative changed the course of her life forever. While she was grateful to be supporting herself and living independently after graduating college during the Great Rece...
