Break.

It was so nice to take a break for the Holidays and focus on Family and celebrating together. Sometimes it is just essential to turn inward for a bit, that time always comes at the end of the year for me. It gave me a chance to reflect on the soft-launch of this business and be truly thankful for being able to take it slow. I am looking forward to this new year and really beginning to build from the awesome sessions and people whom I got the opportunities to photograph this year. Also, it was really great to receive back so many of my images in Holiday cards. How rewarding is that? I know they are being enjoyed!!

The best part of this last month were the crazy (yet amazingly fun) snowstorms we have gotten here in Seattle. ‘Arctic Blast 2008′ left us with nearly a foot of crisp, white snow to play in with my girls! And just this last Sunday we launched into ‘Arctic Blast 2009′ with another 3 inches, which is sadly all gone now. Snowdays have an amazing way of making adults as giddy as kids, and I can say we truly had a ‘Blast’ in this freak frozen weather! (well, most of us, Miss T, our 20-month old, had a few freak-outs when we first set her down in the white fluff) But what a treat to have a true White Christmas.

This next year holds so much potential. I am really looking forward to branching out more and cultivating this little business into something fun for not only me, but all my clients too. Thank you to those of you who have made 2008 so successful. Yeah for what’s to come in 2009!!
