Beginnings and Ends

It's hard for me to believe that exactly 5 months ago I was walking through my first graduation. My life has changed from day to night since then. So many things were beginning and many more were coming to an end. I was at the beginning of my weight loss journey, and at the beginning of figuring out what direction I really wanted my life to go in. I was at the end of an engagement, the end of my basic college classes, the end of my life as a young girl. I felt that I was turning a corner, a very big corner in my life and I was right. Here I am 5 months later, almost forty pounds lighter, single, working, continuing my education and building a resume for my dream of being on stage. Today I met with Bryan Grayson to pick up the images he made for my graduation in April, it's really cool to look at them and see how much I have changed. I was soo much bigger in these pictures and today when Bryan walked through the door of the cafe we were meeting at, the first words out of his mouth were "Victoria you look so great, and so happy!" and he is right. He and I have a date in April to re-do a photoshoot hopefully with me being down close to my ideal weight (another 60 pounds to go!) Here are some images from the shoot that I love, and some that I don't (only because of my weight, not because they aren't beautiful images! Thank you Bryan!) And I can not wait for the next shoot in April! See you guys soon :) <3 Victoria

 This is one of my favorites! And Bryan cropped it into my headshot for Acting :)

 This is one that showcases the extra weight I carried around the middle.... sigh.....

 I love this fun and playful one :) Plus the blue glass is so darn pretty and makes my eyes pop!

 Black and white is always a hit ;)

 This one is so special! I'm holding a picture of my Momma and me on her graduation day, with my grandpa looking on in the background :)

 Class of 2011!

Another bigger picture, gah so glad I am looking so much thinner!!!
