We hope everyone had a wonderful, warm, and safe Holiday and New Years Eve!
I can't believe it is 2011! We are so grateful and blessed to still be doing what we love...allowing people to see how beautiful they are and teaching them how they can achieve that on their own.
We have had many amazing events take place this year and we are extremely honored and blessed. I don't write about too many of the experiences because I would never want to sound self-indulgent. At the end of the day (in this case a year) we close the door to one fascinating year and open the door to a year that holds...change, transition (both in a good way), inspiration and creativity. 2011 marks our 10th year in the biz and we remain as grateful as we ever have.
Some of you know, but many of you do not know that June 1, 2009 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. What started out as stage 2, taking the summer "off"...turned out to be stage 3 and a year and a half full of aggressive treatment. I am a warrior and survivor, and as tough as the fight was, I was tougher and today...all is well.Thank you Lord.
I want to pass along the biggest, most heart felt "thank you" you have ever received. Every single one of my clients and vendors were beyond amazing. The support system I had with my girls was unbelievable and simply put...couldn't have done it without ya!
Over that year in an half- I did not miss one appointment, not one shoot, not one wedding, not one commercial...my bookings were solid and they kept coming...two weeks ago was the first time I have ever had get a stand in and that was because my daughter and I had a virus. You can imagine, standing face to face with someone how that's not ideal.
My work was and continues to be my therapy. It relaxes me and the connection with the people I "work" with puts me in the best state of mind.
2011 is going to hold many things and I am excited about the future and what's in store.
I thank you again, for making a gal like me feel so blessed. I am happy, healthy....I love what I do and who I do it with.
Above is a photo of my girl, shot by one of my all time favorite Brides. She is now an amazingly talented photographer (CharlotteElizabethPhoto.com)
I am so proud and excited for her and am lucky to call her my friend.She captured this shot of Lexi and to me it illustrates what I believe this year can and will hold.
Looking up...arms, head, and heart wide open baby!!
Here is to 2011...may your year be a moving and magical one!
