This year’s Christmas was like no other; it was full of emotions and many happy moments! The week of Christmas I wasn’t sure if Mister would be home for Christmas, as he got stuck at the Heathrow Airport due to crazy weather conditions. But he surprised me with an early morning text the day after he was supposed to leave saying he’d be home that afternoon. He also told me to check my email. I could hardly contain my excitement and felt like I was in a daze most of the day waiting for his flight to land.
Finally he walked off the plane, tired and sick, but home. I was so excited to see him it was hard to share him with his family that evening, but I knew they wanted to see him just as much as I did.
That night as we cuddled in bed, we talked and discussed our future. The next morning he made an early morning call back to Europe. The next night, a whole 48 hours after he returned home we signed on the dotted line and made the decision to finally make our dreams come true.
We have talked and discussed since I swear the inception of our relationship of moving to Europe for a couple of years to travel and experience something new. Since Mister was born in Poland we knew we had a huge advantage over the average Canadian wanting to move to Europe, so we sent resume after resume, praying for the right job and the right location would find us. Finally everything fell into place!
We’re moving to south of Amsterdam at the end of January 2011, with plans of traveling over Europe and experiencing the Dutch Culture.
What does this mean for Adley Studio you might be asking. Nothing! I still plan on taking portrait commissions here in Vancouver as well as in Holland (someone holla “Yea International Photographer!). I plan on coming back a few times a year for portrait sessions, shooting boudoir, woman, teens, and children while expanding my business abroad. I’m still working on my first return date, but most likely mid-April to early May for those that want to schedule a session.
We’re super excited about the doors that have opened for us, the possibilities available, and the wonderful adventures and hardships we’re going to face! If you have any questions about how this will effect your past or future sessions, please, feel free to email me! I would love to chat!
