To play a little catch up... {DFW Family Photographer}

Wow...I really didn't know it had been that long since I blogged until I just signed on and my browser didn't automatically pick up on my blog address, and then I saw that my last post was in NOVEMBER!! To say I went on hiatus really doesn't suffice, which I did, but I also just got so overwhelmed with proofing, cards, holiday print orders, etc. that I just had to focus on what was most important and that was getting my clients their proofs and prints. So...that said, I am officially BACK!!! I hated not blogging some great family pictures that I was taking so I wanted to start off my blog again with a little recap of the end of 09. I have recently been looking at some other photographers blogs and in doing so, it has really made me still feel behind as I do not have any of my own Christmas pictures even uploaded, much less ready for my blog and I don't have any huge recap of my favorite pictures of 09, but what can I do? I am rejoicing that I made it through my first year in business and everyone got everything they ordered in time for Christmas! I also have done a lot of reflecting in these last 2 1/2 weeks of being off and I am overwhelmed with how much joy I feel looking back on all these families that trusted me with their portraits this year. So many memories, life--changing events, and milestones have been captured in a year and I am truly so humbled by your faith in me. I couldn't be more excited about 2010 and all the exciting things that are in store for Inspired By You and my wonderful clients this year! Here's a look at a few that you didn't see last year...


I only chose 2 from each session for the blog, but I am also in the process of updating my website and lots of these will make their grand debut on there so be sure to check it out in a couple of days!

And I had to post my funniest card of the season, and I know she won't mind because it's my best friend's card. I always get so nervous when photographing my good friends because I want to give them the very best. Well, Susan has Lyla...aka, my 2nd daughter. She is definitely at the hardest age to capture their sweet personalities, because they are just on the go sooo much at this stage. I also think it has to do with me being the photographer too because she knows me too well. She knows all my tricks and isn't falling for them! Thank goodness her parents had such awesome humor when it came to the 2009 Christmas card. :) Since we didn't have many traditional photos to include, it went a little something like this...


Love you guys! :)
