so…this year i decided to stick with ONE image from each client session in 2012. ONE! last year i went buck wild with my blog post so this was a task! i really had to open each session & look through them to find the one i wanted to post. [thank goodness the moirai compositor has an update this year allowing me to put ALL the images on one blog board….that probably saved me hours!] maybe i picked the picture because i liked the emotion, the happiness, the memory i had of that moment, because i had never posted it before or simply just liked the picture in general…all i know is that going back through these images gave me the warm fuzzies & made me smile! what great memories of an action packed, FULL year. i have had such great experiences. so many of my clients have turned into some of my closest friends which is so fun!
i shot 83 sessions & 7 weddings. oh and also…i had a baby! this year has flown by.
some other highlights: new equipment AGAIN (i’m a junkie). i bought the 35mm 1.4g among some other fun photography related items or programs (expodisc, etc). i bought back my first camera from the guy i sold it to a couple years ago. why i ever sold it, i don’t know. i won’t use it, but i feel complete now that i have it again. it was my dad’s & he gave it to me when i first started to help me get going so it has tons of sentimental value. i’ll never let that bad boy out of my sight again 🙂
i have continued with education. i took composition & creativity part 2 over at clickinmoms then was an alumni helper in the next run. i loved that experience. those classes are so valuable. i participated in some clickinmoms projects (the way i view, the cm pro daily project), etc. courtney keim designed a blog site & i moved all my stuff over from my old website. i love it…it’s so me. i’ve become a part of the magic hour team – it’s a great organization. you should check it out!
i know i’m forgetting something but this year has been that much of a whirlwind! i’m starting 2013 with lofty goals…i’ve been brainstorming for a while & i have all kinds of personal AND professional goals. i think doing a year in review is a good thing for all professionals to do because you can look back, reminisce, think about the highs of the year & what areas you improved in, so this was fun. but mostly this post is just to THANK YOU for being so special to me, so supportive, so kind…thanks for your referrals & for treating me like i’m a part of the family when i come into your home & photograph you. i appreciate you – ALL OF YOU!
