Welcome to my new blogsite!

Im so excited to share this with all of you and I cannot wait for what this new year has in store! There are so many things I am already looking forward to, it’s going to be wonderful!

2011 was a year of learning and growing, filled with so many amazing experiences and opportunities. One of the best moments was meeting & second shooting with one of my favorite photographers, Amanda K, she is incredibly talented and humble! Her photos always take my breath away! She is an equally wonderful and beautiful person & friend who has encouraged & inspired me so much this year.

I was also honored to be a part of Help Portrait where a group of local photographers, makeup and hair stylists all came together to help teens in need. They all got pampered, styled and had their photo taken, most of them with their little ones. It was an awesome experience to give to others who wouldn’t have a photo with their children or of themselves otherwise and it was so fun meeting so many local photographers who all have the same passion as me!

And of course, meeting and photographing all the lovely couples who are madly in love, that was one of the best parts of the year!

Since this is my first post on my new site I thought it would be fun to do a slideshow of some favorites from 2011!

xoxo

I carry your heart with me ( I carry it in my heart)

I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you…

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never Fails.

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
