How’s life? It’s crazy, busy, wonderful, bittersweet, and everything in between here. I’m thankful to have had one of my best holiday portrait seasons ever in 2012. We wrapped up our work life with a truly magical vacation to Disneyworld just before Christmas, which also happened to be a complete surprise to our kids! They thought they were tagging along with mom to a photography convention in Arkansas. Ha! My eyes still fill with joyful tears when I remember the looks on their faces when we told them we were a few hours away from Mickeyland! As we wrapped up our first night there, my daughter held my hand and said to me, “Mommy, when I grow up, I’m going to trick my kids just like you tricked us today!”
Then, along came January, which included a few days at Imaging USA, one of the largest photography conventions in the world, which happened to be in Atlanta this year. It was absolutely awesome catching up with so many dear friends and colleagues, and soaking up all the new trends and products out there. I always leave Imaging with my brain buzzing with ideas. From February until now, we have been on quite a journey in our personal lives as we prepare to leave our home, which is in fact the house I grew up in, and move across town to Roswell. It’s a story only God could write, and it is definitely a bittersweet but incredible one. We are beyond excited! Moving day is just a few weeks away. I’m surrounded by boxes and packing tape. The smell of sharpie markers haunts my sleep. I’m counting down the days until we are unpacked and settled, beginning our next chapter.
Meanwhile, the session calendar has stayed very full (there are so many new babies in Atlanta!) and I have so much to share! If you are interested in a Spring session, contact me soon! I have just a couple spots left for May and June.
I hope you enjoy seeing some of the bright, loving faces I have seen the last few months. They always make me smile.
Much love,
Shannon
