Guys.

No really, guys.
I'm kind of freaking out here.

I've been waiting for this moment for... months?
Or something like that. At least, it feels like it.

Some of you know have known for some time now. You others, I've been dying to tell you. Evidenced by the fact that this entry and many since have been laced with the the sort of "more on this later" that has driven both me, and many of you, crazy.

And even though it's been legit for some time now, there was just this one last final step that needed to happen for me to feel like it was finally time to share.

And now it's here, and I don't even know how to tell you.

Except to say, I am officially an Associate Photographer for Gray Photography.

If you have a chance, follow the link to their main page and click on Associates and let me know what you think. I'm honored to be working with and for two our very best friends doing something I could have only ever dreamed of doing. Two incredible people who captured our most beautiful and wonderful memories from our big day, and are now allowing me to do the same for others.

One of the other wonderful parts about this opportunity is that because my wedding work will be exclusively with Gray Photography, I am still able to pursue and develop all of the other facets of photography that I love and have been developing over time as Kristine Neeley Photography. This has been quite the journey so far and it's only just begun.

And the very best part? I've got my very best friend along for the ride. Cliff has been in-training for the last couple of months to be my assistant, lugging around my gear, helping me set up shots, and holding my beloved reflector. I couldn't do this without him.




Oh, and did I mention I've got my first solo wedding as an Associate in exactly ten days?

On my 25th birthday.

And that's pretty exciting.
The understatement of the quarter-century I've been alive (almost).
