{Happy New Year + a Maternity/Family Session!}

What better way to ring in the new year than with a brand spankin' new post?! I really can't think of any other way myself! I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable holiday season with your family, friends, and loved ones. And I really hope you enjoyed a lovely hiatus from work! Lots and lots of new things are coming this year (including a new and improved blog!), but there will be a whole other post on that in the near(ish) future.

For now I want to share with you a gorgeous family. There is a little of everything in this shoot! Claire has been my model since the very beginning so I enjoy photographing her oh so much. She's practically growing up with my lens in her face. Now when I pull my camera out she knows exactly what to do! In addition to a few Christmas photos, I had the honor of shooting my first maternity session. Nothing is more intimate or beautiful than the creation of life. I had so much fun with Heather and hope to start shooting more maternity sessions in the future. Enjoy!

{Thank You!}

Without you, I wouldn't be here. The clients I had this year were the best - they believed in me and trusted me with their most important memories. I met so many great people and had the opportunity to peek into your lives and see the amazing love that you share with your family, children, and loved ones. I am forever in debt to you for allowing me to start my dream and pursue a journey into the world of photography. This year has held many challenges for me personally, but knowing that every time you look at your photos and smile makes my heart burst with happiness. And it reminds me that, although I have a long road ahead, I'm exactly where I need to be. Thank you for an amazing 2010 and I look forward to 2011 and all the love that it holds.
