Like a Flower: Growth

As I Carrie Bradshaw the evening away on this last day of September, I am happily reflective.

Some 6 years ago, I made a decision. That decision has lead to countless hours of brainstorming and projects for an artsy fartsy individual who loves to create. The decision has allowed for a love of photography and beauty products to marry together and develop a company. From Montage by Marci, which initially specialized in photography, to 303 Dolls by Montage by Marci, which began to incorporate a handful of charming homemade goods.

303 Dolls Face | Body became the company name as photography, though ever present, began to be a tool in the process of growing the skincare line, and less about the photographer and my landscape photography.

Through the various farmers markets, fairs, and bazaars, I began to.... although appreciative of those venues, sit, look around, and realize that I wanted the company to grow.... and to go in a different direction. I wanted it to be modern.. more sexy....

.... less folksy.

303 Face | Body was born, and it moved in the direction of what I had spent many a day thinking of as I mentally mapped out my plans. A modern, high end, organic skincare line.. Spa Grade. Handmade. Pure. You.

The lady in the two photos above also celebrated a birthday this September, entering her 39th year.

The 30's have been an amazingly rich, colorful, eye opening experience. How on earth can one ever be afraid of change.. of growth?

My God, it has been one of the most beautiful, soul filling experiences in life to not only grow, but to look back to both see and acknowledge where you were.. be aware of where you currently are....

.... and be overflowing with excitement for where you're going.
