Hello! Welcome to 2011 (well, nearly a month into the new year). I think it is going to be spectacular! : ) Above is a picture from my newly refreshed home office, I adore this print. The walls were given a fresh coat of paint, new inspiration artwork hung on the walls and new furniture built to better suit my space. I am in love with my new space (more pics to come).
This year is all about DOING WHAT I LOVE and LOVING WHAT I DO! :)
I had some much-needed down time over the holidays which extended into 2011. After Help-Portrait wrapped up at the beginning of December I had over a month to relax and rejuvenate. I think I nearly forgot what R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G felt like. :) I had a wonderful time with my family. We baked cookies, watched holiday movies, forgot about bedtimes, decked the halls, trimmed our tree and all of the other fun things that happen over the holiday season. As I began to step back and reflect on 2010, I realized just how precious this time is with my kids. They are now ages six (how did that happen?) and nearly four! Time is literally flying by, I know that sounds so cliche, but it is going by way too quickly. I want to freeze time. Oh, how I digress… so back to that time of reflecting. I began to think of how amazing this year was for me on the business + personal side. I had sessions with a ton of amazing clients and maintained a steady pace throughout the year. I connected with a lot of other photographers (both far and near), did my first-ever sessions out of the country (Boston was so much fun) and attended a few photog workshops. I learned so many lessons and definitely grew all along the way. All of which helped realize where I am and where I want to go. Moving forward, I know I need to limit the number of sessions I take on each month for the benefit of both my clients and my family. These days are so precious.
My focus for 2011 is to spend more time with my family and nourish my business. Afterall, being a mother + a photographer are what I love to do!
Speaking of balance, I am cutting down the number of Boston sessions this year to just 4 spots. Hard to do, since I had so many amazing clients last year. Registration and details coming soon. The sessions will take place mid-May and the location is TBD at this point (I am open to suggestions). The first priority will be given to families that had sessions in 2010 with me. If you want to be on the sign-up list, you can email me ahead of the announcement.
Wishing everyone a beautiful 2011 filled with love, laughter and balance!
Thanks for stopping by! : )
