2011. you were grand. i grew my business…which still amazes me. to think that my little ‘this & that’ blog created this is pretty neat. i had so many repeat clients.. and i still can’t thank all of you for the growth of my business due largely to referrals… who am i kidding. 100% based on referrals. i don’t advertise. i don’t have a business card. i don’t plaster my sessions all over facebook. i don’t have a studio. i don’t have some fancy branding. it’s just me and my camera & it’s what i love. i love capturing people being themselves. props are cute- don’t get me wrong.. but it’s the interaction between people that i love. not the cute chair… or suitcase. and it’s when they aren’t posing and having a moment.. that i feel like i’m at my best. i like not knowing what is going to happen each time i meet a new client. it keeps things real. i struggled a bit this year with keeping true to myself versus current trends…- comparing my work to others. . and being genuine to my process and myself as a photographer. with the hot trend of dslr’s… and everyone knowing everyone’s business these days (blogs, facebook, instagram, pinterest etc)… i have to be honest. i have gotten annoyed with what i think are ‘copycat’ photographers. styling themselves to look like someone else’s work. hey, i’m not perfect. i’m just keeping it real. and i think what i’m going to focus on for my 2012 photography endeavors is to always be me. take the pictures that i would like on my photowall. i want to be inspired by others and be happy for others in their journey as well. photography is the part of me that is all heart. it is all me. my style. my angle. my view. my opinion. my eye. it is how i see you and so, i am flattered (beyond measure) that YOU have chosen me. and flattered BEYOND measure- when after our session- you send me an email and tell me you want to go grab a beer with me… or you can’t wait til our next session- because that means we connected. and while i may only have a small inner circle- i can tell you that my life is about real and true connections. and you, my client’s. are the real deal. thank you, thank you, thank you. 2011. you were grand. because of all of you. and to think this is just my part time job. phew. you kept me busy, and i’m eternally thankful. as a thank you… 15% off all full sessions for repeat client’s and 10% off mini sessions. please remind me at the time of booking, thank you!

in my eyes, he could not be any more perfect. i love every ounce of roundness on him. my boy is 8.5 months. can’t hardly believe it.

at three months, you feel like you have known this little being your whole life… how is it that 3 months can seem like forever and also like nothing? this is my first session for the new year. i shot reese’s newborn session back in september (i seriously can’t even remember september)…. and am lucky enough to be a part of her entire first year. we are doing a first year package (the best!) she’s a beauty. part of me is kicking myself that these are in b/w because she has theeee prettiest blue eyes. but for some reason… these caught my eye in b/w.

the thought of doing a whole christmas post was very daunting to me.. especially since i still need to do a new year’s post, plus so many sessions for 2011 still. yikes. so- i put a mishmash of our month of december up… it was lovely. so very, very, very lovely.

her lips. you know me. i find one little thing about a photo and love it. i loved her teeny tiny little mouth. honestly… she was 100% edible. but her mouth kept doing the cutest little things. oh. and can you believe i was able to do an outdoor session in the middle of december? no jacket required. and the sun was shining. the best! more of stella coming soon!
