2011 was a whirlwind year and my busiest year yet, even with taking time off due to bed rest and the arrival of my little one. As I was going through my pictures and picking some of my favorites of the year, I kept noticing something - each picture I picked made me smile and made me happy! I hope the pictures I took for my clients which captured their families made them happy as well. I learned this year that it's not about getting that perfect shot or having the child smile exactly right; it's about the joy that the picture can bring. I have to truly thank my clients this year, many of which were past clients. Thank you for trusting me to snap these memories of your families and I hope that I continue to see your families grow! Have a safe and healthy new year!
