I don’t even know what to say-this year has been so much fun and crazy. I’m finishing up my second year and awaiting all the beautiful stories I will be able to tell with my camera for 2011. There are so many things I have in store for the business and I can’t wait to share with everyone, but before I can even discuss anything, I have to give a huge thank you to all of my clients and friends from 2010. Thank you so much for trusting me to be your story teller, for having patience with me since it’s only me who runs the show, for sending me messages that melt my heart. I went through such an emotional journey this year and I’m learning new things about myself all the time.I kind of feel like I’m at an awards show right now, especially since I am going to be thanking my husband pretty soon, haha.

So, thank you Jimmy for you letting  me cry, sharing in my joy, and being patient with me because I can’t order my thoughts the way you do. Thanks for coming to weddings with me and being such a an amazing man, friend, and partner.

There are so many things I have in store for next year, some personal and some you will see on this blog and my website. I know people do resolutions and never keep them, but I have some clear goals and I intend to hustle and push to make it happen. But, the heart of my work will always be the same. I hope everyone had a great 2010, but if not, here’s to a new year that can only bring new hope and possibilities. I am so excited to see what the new year brings for some of my amazing clients from last year. I’m horrible at picking images, so here are some random shots that I love and some I even forgot I took!

I’m always excited to head down that way, because I always find something new to incorporate into the images. There were some glitches. I went to a part of the beach I had shot before, but not in a while. Well, there were some changes-the dock I was planning on taking some images on was missing. Gone. So, no worries. I walked along the beach before Tracy and Jonathan got there and scoped out prime locations for shots. While walking, I guess I dislodged the lens hood from my lens. Oops. So,I have a confession, I am always losing something when I shoot, and it’s usually a lens cap.I get so excited about a shot, that I think I put it in my pocket or my shootsac, but I probably just placed it on the ground-a spot you’ll usually find me in when I’m shooting. How do I not notice a huge black lens hood fall off? While walking back to the parking lot, I’m thinking up excuses to tell Jimmy why I don’t have my lens hood : a) lens hoods are overrated. Who needs them? b) A pelican just shot out of the air and gobbled it up. I swear. c) the just deny everything. What lens hood? I never had one! (he’s not the type to get mad, it’s my stuff, but how many times will this poor man have to hear about me losing something?? At some point his poor brain will explode.)

I eventually found the hood. Tracy and Jonathan probably thought I was pretty nuts when I got all excited and exclaimed “Oh, there’s my lens hood!” like I just leave lying around like that, you know, in case I need it at some point.

I had so much fun at this session. There were so many little things that happened and I wish I had video. A lady walking through our shot thinking I’m some perv taking photos of Tracy and Jonathan. Acting like a “limp noodle.” I’m still trying to figure that one out. Possibly stealing another photographer’s lighting equipment and making a run for it (all Jonathan’s idea-that’s my story!) Me being the Mr.Magoo of the photography world.

Here are some images I shot yesterday. Look out for a cameo from the pervy lady.
I could not stop cracking up. I try not laugh at people, unless we’re all just cracking up together. But, the combination of me standing in the cold water-on rocks, no less- and Tracy and Jonathan still keeping their composure in this picture, I couldn’t stop the laughter. I was cold, and almost fell in the water numerous times, so that’s my story. I can’t be faulted in those conditions!Geez, Tracy! learn to tone it down a few notches! So gorgeous!
