Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has a relaxing holiday season and enjoys a little bit slower pace. I know I will. I’m going to take a deep breath, be still (for me) and be thankful. Thankful you shared your families with me. Thankful I get to do this job I love. Thankful my family supports my passion and my process. Thankful for the rest time that is now here. And if I’m being honest, thankful that we got our family holiday card done. Ryan and I love Christmas cards. We always work on ours together and we really pushed this one to the last minute. But it’s here. And we love it!
The picture on the front was taken by Flytographer Olga in Paris and the images on the back are my own from the same summer trip to France.
2017 has been another amazing year thanks to you all. My work year started and ended with two perfectly planned and executed Bat Mitzvahs at Temple Beth El. In between I photographed a bunch of amazing kids, parents, grandparents, high school seniors, family pets and even a few custom homes. I love documenting your days and I’m so grateful that you keep inviting me into your lives. We captured some amazing moments and I can’t wait to show off more of them on the blog. For now though, thank you for continuing to put so much trust in me. Merry Christmas from me and my crazies, and cheers to a restful and happy holiday season.
