I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas! It is always such a surprise to me when it it is suddenly the end of December and we are about to begin yet another new year. Four years ago I received my digital SLR for Christmas and it is shocking to me how fast that time has flown by! I remember being so excited and so clueless about anything photography related. All I knew was I loved photography and I wanted to be challenged with learning something new. I never would have known then that this new found passion would become quite an obsession that would fill my life up with so much joy (and also suck soooo much time), and also give me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people. I feel so fortunate that this passion/obsession turned profession has expanded my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have met other fabulous photographers from all over the world and have been invited into the homes of wonderful people. I am filled with so much gratitude, I cannot express myself in words.
I am excited to begin a new year! 2011 was not the greatest of years for me for a variety of reasons, but I am sure 2012 is going to be an awesome year!
Despite 2011 having it’s challenges, I had some great times! The highlight of my year was the birth of my little cousin. He is such a wonderful addition to our family and I am so happy for my cousin.
In terms of photography, this year started off with my wedding business partner, Ashleigh and I flying down to Texas to go to the Professional Photographers of America’s big photography convention. It was a great way to kick off the new year! We met with some other fabulous photographer’s and were able to learn from some amazing speakers. Ashleigh and I have been able to get our feet nice and wet with wedding photography and have seen our work grow a ton! We are excited for what the new year will bring!
I have been given the honor of photographing several newborns for their first portraits and also saw some of my previous newborn clients again as bigger babies!
I met other great little babies and kids and also some amazing families!
I have made a collection of my favorite shots, both personal and clients from this year! Thanks to all of you who have had me capture your special moments for you and for making 2011 a success!
Cheers to 2012!
