If you would have told me a year ago that today I'd be sitting at my computer in the middle of the Central Valley of California I probably would have laughed at you. I might have even thought you were crazy. A year ago, we were living in a teensy tiny town in Montana, over an hour from the nearest stoplight, but filled with amazing people with huge hearts. I had a business that was growing, and was happy.

When my husband told me that he had a great job opportunity close to his family in California, I pretty much knew we couldn't pass it up, no matter how much I loved Montana. But, chaaaaaaaaange. Change is grueling, and hard to wrap my head around sometimes. I once heard someone describe the feeling of change as being similar to sandpaper across your skin. You know you're not going to die, but it is uncomfortable and horrible, and the anticipation of the pain can sometimes be what sucks the most. Over the course of the last year, however, I've come to view change through a different lens. It can be cleansing. It can be liberating. It can push you to become a better, more authentic version of yourself, and it can be a fantastic catalyst for growth.

Our little family packed up and moved across 4 states all the way to Turlock, and I am so happy to be here! I have made a few changes to my business, including a name change! I'm so excited about all the new opportunities here, as well as the amazing experience Wendy Vincent Photography is now able to offer clients. Because of this move, I've not only made positive changes in my business, but it's helped me be so grateful for my little family and the unit we are. And, if change can help me gain a perspective that contributes to living an abundant life, I say "BRING IT ON".
