Happy New Year!!

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that 2008 is over and all the wonderful, challenging things that have happened in my life. I couldn't help but write a post to thank all my wonderful and faithful blog readers as well as all the amazing families that have graced my life. I decided to look back at all my sessions and choose a photo that made me smile, giggle, cry, think "I love them" or "I had so much fun" or "I hope I get to see them soon!", even moments that just made me melt. All the images are random and hopefully a new image for my blog (tried not to do any repeats!). I will always remember 2008 as a year of new beginnings and challenges and bravery. I'm so lucky, blessed and happy to be doing what I love and meet such genuinely warm people. THANK YOU for visiting my blog or letting me capture some moments of your family. Here is an image from all the sessions I've had (excluding Halloween as for some reason they are scattered every which way and 2009 is fast approaching!!!). I hope you enjoy the first day of your new year and I very much look forward to seeing you in the future or hearing your encouraging comments! Happy New Year and may God Bless you with lots of wonderful moments!!


ps...I decided against me commenting on each picture for lack of time (2009 is one hour away!!) But I always LOVE comments from my readers...hint...hint!! Oh and these are in complete random order :-)

Miss Mary

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with this awesome lady. I've known Mary for 7 years now, but hadn't seen her in forever and she is stunning. We had such a great time amidst freezing temps and winds. She was such a trooper. Here are just a few of some fantastic images I got. 

The poor girl was freezing, but you wouldn't know it. 
I think this is my favorite image...

Mary has such a great, genuine laugh. 
Our first stop was the new pedestrian bridge, what a great place, but poor Mary was freezing. It was just a tad chilly!
I had to add this one. Here eyes are so unique and she's so beautiful!

Hope you love them all. Can't wait for you to see the rest! Happy Tuesday!

Sorry I've been a really bad job blogger. This is my Aunt and her pup...ahhh!

10 degrees, snowing, poop, deaf dog...but I got some pretty sweet shots!
