i'm nearing the end of the holiday photo session rush and as i sit here downloading the photos from this morning's session, i am overcome with gratitude.  i'm grateful that i can earn money doing something i love, that there are people who appreciate my art and that i get to work with some fantastic clients.  i mean, really.  does it get any better?

to all my clients: thank you.  thank you for trusting me to take photographs of your family.  i know there are other places you could get your photos done and i'm grateful that you've chosen me.  thank you for the positive feedback, the referrals and the repeat business.  without all of you, i'm just a mom with an expensive hobby.
