Now, for a total surprise. The following is MY VERY FAVORITE image for 2011. So, I want to award a free session ($150 value) for it.
Congratulations to all of the winners and a HUGE thank you to all of you who have continued to support me, my family, and my business! Without God, and you, none of this would be possible!!
While I was in Texas this past weekend for a photography getaway, I had the pleasure of shooting, along with two other talented ladies, an outdoor boudoir session. Because I can’t wait, here is teeny, tiny peak.Isn’t she GORGEOUS?!?
I have been more than blessed with another wonderful year in business. Thank you for all of your support, whether it be emails, interactions on my Facebook page, booking and trusting me to capture your memories, or referrals, you have made this past year my best yet!! There are dozens of wonderful photographers to choose from and I’m honored that you choose me. I still get butterflies when I see you repost my images. I still become speechless when I see you “brag on me” to others. You can’t possibly know how much you touch me. This year has seen a tremendous amount of growth. I can only image what 2012 holds for me.
It is time once again for my annual “best of” contest. I made a folder of my favorites and there were 97 images in it! Holy cow!! I had to call in reinforcements to bring the number down. I just couldn’t do it alone. Below you will see the Top 20. Every single session has been dear to me, but I couldn’t include them all.
P.S. You must notice my new blog. I LOVE it!! It’s going to be a blog site- blog and website all in one. One stop shopping!It’s not finished yet. I hope to have it all together in a couple of weeks.

Pinned this one a while ago and it has been repinned more than any other on my photo pins. Hard to choose they are so special. Love the way this one makes me feel. The story in the photo is too precious. I know this year will be even better than 2011 I can’t wait to see all your fun, touching new photos this year.

A picture that will capture a thousand words for years to come!
I wanted to post a few more images before the end of the year. Some you’ve seen, some you may have missed. I was great about blogging the first half of the year and terrible with the second half. I will do better in 2012. This is a rather long post, but full of beautiful people. Enjoy!
I haven’t participated in a weekly challenge in a long time. I have even fallen behind on my blogging. But, when I saw that the challenge for this week was HANDS, then I just knew that I had the shot for it.
This princess is little Grace. She was all of around 5lbs in this shot. After posting it on FB, 2 different people commented on the “heart” in the image. I went back and really looked at it. Then, clear as day, I saw the perfect heart shape. Wow! Plus a smile. This will be a favorite for a long, long time!
This photo was entered into the I Heart Faces photo challenge – www.iheartfaces.com Head on over and check out all of the cool entries!
