I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and were able to get in lots of fun, family, and yummy food. There’s nothing more magical to me that seeing Christmas through my childrens’ eyes and this year was no different. For the first time, Stewart the Elf came to visit us. The girls loved the challenge of trying to find where he’d moved to each morning, and seeing what mischief he’d gotten into during the night. This was the first year Anna was totally and completely into Christmas. She was thrilled with the wooden grocery market stand that Santa brought. And Sarah has been playing Hannah Montana endlessly on her new Nintendo DS.
I have to say I really have enjoyed my time off. I love being a photographer and have been blessed with such wonderful clients … but these last two weeks have given me a chance to recharge and relax. I even managed to catch up on all 8 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy I had on the DVR!! 
Oh and guess what … I didn’t take ONE SINGLE PHOTOGRAPH over the holidays. I know, my family is still in shock, too. So many times I miss being a part of the moment because I am so busy trying to capture the moment. So this year I left the camera put away and just soaked it all up.
I hope your holidays were as blessed as mine were.
And so as not to leave you with just a bunch of words to read … a few shots of my stinkers. I recently purchased some lighting equipment and am working on learning how to use it. These are a couple of my test shots from just before Christmas. So far I am in LOVE!
P.S. Check back tomorrow for the first in a series of flash-back posts featuring several of my very first clients.
