How to be Fabulous: Thoughts for 2012


There’s so many goals written for people in the month of January. Pens are out, lists are stuck to the bulletin board and gym memberships sky-rocket in popularity. This year, I don’t want any crazy goals to give my rear some umph in January only to be discarded by Feb 1st.

Here’s 5 things I really want to do, that involve the things that are already a part of my life, the people I love, the habits I have established. I’m not a witty person, nor do I have a fabulous sense of humor, but I am passionate about what I love, and can tell you them straight up.

1. Stop and… Stomp in more puddles. Listen to the Wind in the trees. Bake some cookies for my man. Give my sister a hug. Tell my Mom that she’s amazing. Send a text to a friend with love. Wiggle my toes in sand. Play the piano more. Pull a prank.

2. Share more of Me. It’s hard for me to be open and vulnerable about my life. This must go. I want to stand confident in who I am as a Christian and how that impacts everything in my life.

3. Take Time for Retreat. Introvert? Yes, I am. But I LOVE people – go figure. In order to really thrive and dream and get inspired- I need a day a month to just think. Think, pray and refocus.

4. Save some girls. I try to help girls who are targets for human trafficing. That’s all I’m gonna say. But this year, I want to make a difference.

5. Get my first kiss. 2012 baby. Bring it on. One man, and only one will get to enjoy these lips;P

    Thank you for making it so that the full post appears in my feed reader! I really appreciate it.
    I would have never guessed that you’re an introvert. We met a while back and I thought you had a lovely, outgoing personality. Not that there is anything wrong with being an introvert (which I most definitely am), but I guess I never would have labeled you as such. 🙂

      I’m a good faker ;P But I definitely thrive when I get lots of time alone. Not to say, however, that I do LOVE people. Quite addicted to them in fact, particularly meeting new people. Guess what I’ve discovered is- you can totally be out-going but still find your “soul refreshment” when you’re alone 🙂

    Christa!Ok, I’m on official creeper, I googled you to view your photography website (I check ET every morning!) and your photo blog came up…and..CONGRATULATIONS! I’m really excited for you! I’ve been reading your blog since I was 15 (Holy pete, I’m a grown up now! It hasn’t quite sunk in yet!)
    I hope you’ll post pictures of your wedding, especially your dress and your ring, and if you want to post a sappy love story that would be fine too ;P
    Happy 2012, God Bless You!!
    -Kayla

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. 

WE ARE SOULMATES

WHY we're the perfect match

"Christa, you are such a delight to work with. You bring so much energy and direction to a photo shoot. The photographs you take, are truly a reflection of your talent and passion in photography."

"Christa is incredible. She really gets to know you, makes you feel comfortable and takes fabulous photos. Christa took our engagement photos, did a boudoir photo shoot for kate and did our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her.

"Christa is professional, fun, creative and in touch with her clients. She makes everyone look and feel beautiful. We could not be happier with her and her work."

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out! 
 Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!

"SHE WAS SO GREAT AT DIRECTING PEOPLE
KINDLY AND HAVING FUN..."
