I want to wish you a magical holiday season filled with all things merry and bright! I apologize that I haven't been blogging more these past couple of months since prepping for and then opening my portrait studio, but you all surprised me so incredibly much by keeping me on my tippy toes, my camera strapped to my neck and shutter-bugging like there's no mañana!!! Whew... what an AMAZING fall photography season it was for me! I simply cannot tell you all enough how much I appreciate your business, your kind support, your words of encouragement, your hugs and your smiles. I feel incredibly blessed to have you all in my life and to do the work I do - showing you how beautiful you truly are!

Our Christmas/Holiday greeting card:

Read from top left to right- Kurt, me, Alanna & Emilia at Universal Studios Orlando (March 2017); the girls swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Grande beach (March 2017); the girls dancing in Disney's Magic Kingdom (March 2017); my models in the new studio (Oct 2017); Kurt and the girls as they entered Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Orlando (March 2017); and Chelsea (27), Alanna (11 in the photos, now 12) & Emilia (8) on Mother's Day in our backyard (May 2017).

I was so busy photographing my local families this fall that I didn't get a family photo for our holiday cards! So, I fell back on our Mother's Day portraits together while Chelsea was with us visiting from Colorado. A few months old, but, hey, it still works. It's us. And I love us. :)

From my family to yours: May light and love surround you this season; may the New Year ahead bring you a wealth of opportunities and good health, enough creative juices to inspire your soul and more love to overflow your heart with like never before! With heaping amounts of gratitude, Thank YOU so wonderfully much! Here's to all of us!!! Cheers!!!

Merry Christmas and a beautiful New Year!
