Welcome 2011! As we close 2010, I’ve been reflecting on what an amazing year I had capturing little ones and families around the world. This last year has truly been an amazing one that I will never forget. The memories of travel and meeting new people and adventure are priceless.
This last year was a truly special year in my career and I received recognitions, opportunities and honors that I never would have expected. I feel truly blessed to have such an amazing clientele. I want to take the chance to thank everyone again for being so understanding of all the things that I have been going through and the fact that I have been out of commission for the past month. Everyone’s support and love means the world to me.
As we head into 2011 I am still out of commission having been put on complete bed rest, doctor’s orders, until Bebe Pope is ready to come out. Just a few weeks to go though, and I am just concentrating on staying positive and letting my body rest. After the big arrival, you know I will be back on track as soon as I can be. I am ready to get back to doing what I love, taking beautiful pictures of you and your little ones. I am truly excited about this New Year, there are a lot of exciting things to come, not to mention meeting out newest arrival!

shot by Brandy of course…:)
I will be back to traveling all around the world soon, so watch out for me and my big hair! From one coast to the other and even international destinations, here I come!
Once again thank you so much for all the wonderful thoughts, prayers, wishes and amazing gifts that you have given me in the last month. My family and I are truly blessed to have each and every one of you as our clients and our friends.
I cannot wait to be up on my feet soon, to dance with you again, to be part of your lives, capturing some of your most special moments so that you can enjoy them for years to come. I love being able to be part of that experience, documenting you and your family as your lives and dreams unfold.
