50,000 friends.
So last night I was doing some math. I was looking at all my stats of my websites since their conception last year. Between my old blog and this new blog, I have had over 50,000 unique visitors following my journey, and over 75,000 page loads. That number totally floored me that so many people would take such interest in my rambling words and photos all this time. Especially when I look at the visitor map and see people who follow my blog in countries I can't even pronounce.
So I want to know, of all the blogs and websites out there in cyberspace, how did you find MY blog??? And what is it that keeps you coming back?
Leave a me a comment and let me know! And thanks for being here!
A lot of new photos coming soon... Lots of editing on my To Do list right now!

Hey, friend! I started following your blog after seeing your stuff from OSPS last year. I keep coming back because now I've actually met you in person, it's become more interesting! :D
who knows what keeps me coming back? Kidding! I love good design and I love good photos. I had a small background in graphic design so seeing a cool blog is inspiring and gets me ideas for my own once I can afford a designer, though I may choose a different color scheme ha! I am just starting out in the portrait and wedding photography biz and I am always checking out awesome photographers to get ideas and inspiration from and you most definitely fit that bill! Thanks for the great stuff and I look forward to seeing more!

lets see...I think it was sometime last October and a friend of mine introduced your site to me, and I LOVE your work, and it's just interesting to watch you grow as a photographer and your life experiences. you've really inspired me :)

Because we've been friends since eighth grade. :) (I like the pictures, too, though!)
Hi Scarlett! I was introduced to your blog/website this past summer after my sister showed me the pictures and video of Susan and Matt's wedding (they were my sister's Young Life leaders!). Ever since, I've been hooked and I check almost daily for new pictures and entries! Your work is amazing and I love reading about your faith and the role it has played in your life. As a fellow Christian in her early 20s, I've found your blog to be so inspriring...especially your continuous reference to God's perfect timing. I too am very anxious to meet Mr. Right, but after reading about your faith in God's plan for us I realized that worrying/thinking about it constantly isn't going to bring me to Mr. Right any faster! Thank you for speaking so openly about your relationship with God. I'm sure you're inspiring more people than you'll ever know!

I found your blog by just surfing Photography blogs! I fell in love with your photography and your personality! It has been fun keeping up with your blog and reading about the stuff you are up too!
It is cool to read you are a Christian and so close to God!
It has been good getting to know you even if it is just reading about you!lol
Thanks
Ariana
I think I found you on Pictage one Wednesday :) Love you and of course love your work!
i found your blog because my sister went to college with I believe her name is Corina? I saw her wedding pictures on your site cause my sister told me how pretty they were and i have not stopped coming back since then! then to find out you loved the seminoles? that was awesome! so i stuck around and sure enough reading what you write is very inspirational, i want to be a writer and so after reading your blog with about one or two more i feel inspired to write for school or myself and it helps me reveal some of the things i need to say. I think you're a fantastic person :) - Dannielle R.
I found it through OSP of course! Your personality and loving heart that is shown through every blog entry is what keeps me reading.
I found your blog off of the Shootsac blog. I enjoy checking your's! Thanks for sharing!
um .... I don't really remember. Probably through the ShootSac blog.
I keep coming back because I love your style. I'm trying to absorb a small piece of it if I can.
I ran across your blog just by surfing thru blogspot and I was instantly hooked. You have inspired my husband and I to start our own photography business and it is going great! I love reading every entry and check for more every single day. You are incredibly talented and inspiring. Its also been amazing to watch God work in your life and see the things he is showing you. You are a fantastic writer and photograph:)
Hi Scarlett! I am a pro photo show listener and heard the podcast that your were a guest on! I checked you out and fell in love with your photography style. I'm starting out in weddings/portraits and find your work an inpiration to look at!
I was looking at photography websites and found your name. I loved your name so I started looking at your pictures and your blog. I am hooked to say the least. To find out that you were a Christian and not afraid to say it was a breath of fresh air. I think your pictures are awesome and your story of what you have been through are inspiring. I waited on pins and needles, (while praying), for you to get the results. Praise God!!
I have 2 Nikon cameras that my husband bought me because I wanted to play around taking pictures of our 2 teenage girls and have started taking pictures of friends and family. I'm still learning.
Thanks so much for sharing your talent. It is inspiring to know that one day I might be as good as you.
Thanks,

Hi Scarlett,
I have recently been an avid follower of yours since I discovered you listening to a podcast while working. I heard your web site and decided to visit and loved everything about it. You have an awesome colorful vision. In addition to that you are an avid follower of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, so that naturally intrigued me a little more. You are humble and genuinely a nice person.
I've read blog entries and have been keeping you in my prayers all along. I hope you continue with your blog entries. They are interesting and your photography is great.
Take care,
Kristin-
Oh wow, it's fun to discover new friends that I didn't even know visited my blog! Thanks for sharing your stories and I feel so humbled to hear how God has used me to inspire your own love of photography! Thank you so much to each of you for being here!
I found you on the shootsac blog when you were sporting yours. I come back because I love your photos for their edge, colors, and freshness. More importantly, through your writings I can see your heart for the Lord...and this is something that I am drawn to!
Just surfing photography blogs and websites. Love, love your work!
Blessings!
Heather
I found your blog through OSP but what really keeps me coming here is your inspiring stories, along with great photos of course! But I find your faith so refreshing that I just want to keep reading! I think it's great when people can be open about their relationship with God in a world that can sometimes make us forget Him.

Beautiful site! Did you design or have someone do it? I LOVE it!++
Hey Scarlett,
I was actually introduced to you through a bride that you shot for... and I fell in love with your style. You have 'captivated' my attention, I love your style, and I love to read your blogs...
Keep up the AWESOME work!
Susan
Cool, thanks guys!
Gnet- I designed all my branding (I used to be in graphic design) and had Flosites.com design my website and all the technical stuff. Check em out, they are great!
I found your ad in The Knot and went to your website. Much to my surprise and delight I discovered you were my neighbor! I am in Brunswick GA. So you can stop wondering who is stalking you from Brunswick!!! I am a baby photographer and your work inspires me. After several months of following your work I found myself looking for more color in my shots and I finally feel as though I am making my photography my own after several years of looking for my "groove"! If you are ever in need of a second shooter I would love the opportunity to shoot beside you!! My website is tracyaphotography.com - please let me know what you think! Your love for God is also inspiring! Keep up the good work!
Awww Tracy, I'm touched that you have been able to be inspired by my work. How cool that we are so close by. I checked out your website and you do great work with kids!!
Hi, Scarlett!!
I found your blog when Amy Wenzel posted the pictures she took of you on her blog. I'm a college student majoring in Vocal Performance (Opera), and Amy's taking my headshots, so I've been checking out her blog for a while now. I'm also getting into photography, so I have several blogs that I "stalk". I love your images, and it's so refreshing to hear a photographer talk so freely about her love for the Lord! That's what keeps me coming back!
Hi Renee! So glad you found me through Amy Wenzel! And I'm thrilled you've kept up with me since then. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and it means a alot to me that I could help inspire you! How cool about being an Opera major!
I've been coming back to your blog for awhile now and I love it!!! you've inspired something in me that i left long time ago and needed something like this to focus on...thank you and also, I love how you share your stories and how you share your faith with god with all of us..I'll keep coming back and I feel like I've met a new friend also!!!
Penny
Awesome Penny, many thanks for your sweet words!
