This is the face of a very happy and grateful birthday boy 🎂🎉🎈 First of all, thanks to all my friends, family and clients that sent me birthday wishes over text/email/social media to make me feel so special on my birthday 🥰 I definitely felt your love. I grew up loving birthdays. I recalled looking forward to them yearly. It is one day I felt like everyone thinks about you and the best part was getting cool gifts from your friends and family! I just couldn’t wait to get older and do more and do “adult” things. I wanted to travel and live to see the world! Now I am an adult. Birthdays aren’t about getting the cool toys from my parents anymore. It’s about reflecting how I lived the past year and how I want to live moving forward. It is a great time to slow down, reevaluate whether I have been living authentically and truthful to how I want to contribute to this world. I am very grateful for the career path that I chose, I feel fulfilled and joy through capturing special moments for my clients. Many of my clients became my closest friends. This is so heart warming and isn’t this what life is about? I feel gratitude knowing I have a loving family and friends who support and love me for who I am (because you all know, Augie can be A LOT! 🤣). They may think I run 100 miles a minute but I know at the end, they love this crazy energy I have about life ☺️ Lastly, I feel centered knowing living a healthy and balanced lifestyle is the best way to be. Everything in moderation. One thing has not changed since I was young is the desire to do and to see more in life. My passion for travel and meet people has only grown. So for this special birthday, I decided to take a trip to Madrid Spain to celebrate the way I love - travel, eat and meet cool people! Cheers to another year! Cheers to all of you who have made my year wonderful. Cheers to all the love I am receiving and received. Cheers to many more great memories ahead! 🥂🎈🎉 Love you all 😘
