Happy New Year! I can’t believe that this year is over. 2008 was such a wonderful year for me. Some of you know that 2008 was my first year in business and it was a dream come true. I have worked very hard this year but it sure has been worth it. I can’t tell you how much fun I have had meeting so many new people and helping create memories for them. I am so blessed to be doing what I love and I want to thank everyone that allowed me to be a part of their lives this year. I thought I would end the year with a very large post of my favorite images from the year. There are A LOT of them and they are not in any particular order. I had a very hard time picking the photos so I decided not to limit myself…

Happy New Year Everyone!

I think that is it for now. I look forward to all that 2009 has to bring. Thank you all for this wonderful year! Much love,

After a wedding or any shoot that I do, I spend a lot of time on post production of my images. Sure, I could hand them over straight out of the camera but I want my clients to have the best images possible. With that being said, it is sometimes difficult to work on photos with a 2 year old in the house. I really try to work only when he is sleeping but sometimes there is just too much work to get done and I go ahead and try to work when he is awake. Well…this is the kind of thing that happens when I do that.

I have known Rachael for many years. I used to work for the Department of Social Services and the day I started, Rachael’s face was the first one that I saw. That was a very difficult job and there was a really great group of people that worked there together. When you work in that kind of high stress environment, you really lean on your co-workers/friends. We all became pretty tight. So, I was very excited when she asked me to shoot her wedding.

Here are a few of my favorite’s from the day:

Someone is a huge Starbucks fan…

The guys.

The gals.

It was a cold day and it snowed (a little). Rachael thought she would be prepared and bought all of the girls snow boots! Fun huh?

I think this one is my favorite

Okay- Rachael and Andrew had a photo booth at the reception. If you are debating about getting one of these, DO IT! It was so much fun. Everyone had their photo taken several times including my assistant Susan and I.

And to finish out this post, here are a few of the photo’s of Susan and I. There are more but I think I should save some for a latter post.

Yes, we were having WAY too much fun!
