"Best of 2009"

Although it feels like I have been doing this forever, it has only been a year since I decided to really pursue my little photography business. The past 6 months has seen an EXPLOSION in, not only, the amount of business I have had, but also the quality of the work I have produced. Although I am extremely proud of the level I have been blessed to reach, I am also keenly aware that I have a LONG way to go to accomplish the goals I have set for myself.
I am so very thankful for all of you. Whether you have been a client of mine or a follower of my work, I offer my sincerest appreciation. Thank you for "spreading the word" for me! It has been a bit overwhelming at times, especially the past two months, but such a learning experience. I pray that 2010 will bring even more success:)

I was trying to think of a way to give back to those who have given to me. So, when a couple of friends of mine requested/suggested a "Best of" contest, I jumped on the idea. I grossly underestimated the job of picking my favorites. I can honestly say that I have had at least one absolute favorite from every single session I have done. But, I had to narrow it down:( Once I narrowed it down as far as I could, I brought my wonderful husband in. Once he narrowed as far as he could, I called in my wonderful friend, Kayse, for her expert touch. After all that, we still have 15 images for you to choose from!
