i am so enjoying the time i have right now with my family… last year i completely took off jan-march…this year, that’s not possible – but we have a lot of things planned this time of year and after the holiday rush, it’s so nice to get back to my family.. i only scheduled 2 sessions in January and 3 in february for this reason.. A couple of newborns will debut, but mostly, the it’s going to be about my kids and just life for a bit!  there are a lot of things i’ve planned learning-wise for myself in these two month and it’s just a time to recharge a bit…and a trip to florida.. one to augusta.. one to charlotte.. and a few to greenville!

February 5-8th I will be in Augusta, GA again.. a few sessions down there – may have an opening if anyone is interested, but just one!

in an attempt to force myself to get my camera out and play/practice while i’m not quite as busy, i (along with a couple other of my photog friends from afar) have challenged myself to a 365 photo thing.. basically, we HAVE to take and post a picture each day of the year… to make us think outside of the box a bit..  the majority of the pictures will be posted to my flickr account, but I will be sure to share and favorites..   well, it started yesterday.. and at 10pm, i still was uninspired.. i was thinking of all these “cool” shots i wanted – but it was too dark to get the right light.. then, i headed upstairs to take a shower and i found a little babe in my bed.. just sitting watching the golden globes.. little sneaky girl!!!  so.. even though i tried my best to do something “outside my comfort zone”.. i’ve wanted this picture forever.. excuse the color – it’s a bit off
