.::Deep breath::. The “release” of my new Web site is emotional. Beyond the endless hours of brainstorming, developing, and debugging, lies the symbol of, yet another, beginning. I don’t think beginnings ever end. Anywho, I’m the proud president of Gina Meola Photography, LLC. And now that my site is up… the pressure’s on. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and insecure when everyone and their mother is trying to become a photographer, but, this is my path for today. I am blessed to see life differently, and want to share that gift. I’m so, SO appreciative of everyone that has brought me here. My family, hubbers, past clients that had faith in me… thank you. Really. Thank you.

So, fingers crossed, here’s the new WWW.GINAMEOLA.COM (!!)

We’ve been here a month. Though taunted with the promise of frigid temperatures and heaping snow if we return to New York, Phoenix is our home. And we love it. Every day is beautiful, God’s intricate creation peaks through every window, and it is here where we have begun our journey as one.

Marcus and I have been privileged with our first guest, Michael. My brother makes us laugh, a lot. The state-wide conspiracy to keep him here hasn’t worked out as flawlessly as planned, but we’ve shared an incredible time together. Because of my recently atrocious blogging habits, I wanted to share a few images of our excursion through Sedona to the Grand Canyon. Hearing from friends and family means a lot to us, so make sure to leave some lovin’ when you stop by!
