it's official!

On this hot August morning, hours after my husband left for work in the big city, I was woken by the sweet face of a three year old, inches from my own.

I made pancakes from scratch with blueberries from our recent blueberry picking adventure. Bate, Bate, bate chanted my two helpers as they mixed (that Dora... so educational).

I got dressed, tended to a lovie emergency and boo-boos so serious that they required multiple band aids. Dora band aids of course.

Finally, I made it over to town hall with my two assistants in tow.

Did I have my EIN number from the IRS? Sure, right here in my bag between some dried playdoh and an extra diaper.

And so it was that this stay at home mom officially got her business license.

There it is in Abby's hand, with an official stamp on it and everything.

Photo taken with Fuji point and shoot camera. Heh.

Beth Miga Photography is officially.... official.

To celebrate we had lunch at McDonalds, chosen because 'they give you a toy mama!!', followed by a little pre vacation shopping spree at Target.

In addition to the above piece of paper, there is also an official website:

A blog and a fan page are in the works. So much done and so much yet to do and learn!

I can honestly say that when I left my corporate job just over three years ago, I had no idea that I would end up here. Turning my passion into a real business. And yet here I am. I can't wait to see where life goes from here!

  5. Good for you!!!! I got my EIN a few months ago, and, yes, it feels so "official"!!!

    I love your website! I need to get an official website or blogsite other than my free blogger one. Can you tell me - did you buy a template? If so, from whom? I was looking at Portfoliositez.com for something nice yet inexpensive while I see if this dream of mine actually continues to be my reality.

    Congrats!!!!!!!
