2011 Scheduling Note

The first quarter of 2011 is almost booked. I have only 3 session openings between January and March!

Yes, I have a good reason for not photographing my family all that much this year. Yes, we were busy, we were struggling, we had dark days. But you know what, there were shimmers of hope, even on the darkest day and I cannot convince myself that I couldn’t have found one single beautiful moment to […]
