Photographers have so many images in their heads, evolving and taking shape much like a painting, a sonnet, or a minuet grows in invisible silence long before it can be shared outside the artist’s mind. This image has been coming to life in my mind for quite some time now. The wonderful thing about the slow month of January is the time it allows me to finally bring these images into reality.
Much love,
Shannon
I’m still here! Just two days ago, I finally wrapped up my busiest Fall portrait season ever. My heartfelt thanks go out to my clients old and new for making 2011 an incredible year! I am one very fulfilled, and slightly tired, photographer! Needless to say, in all the long hours and even longer to-do lists of the last two months, my blog fell off the priority list. I have so many sessions I can’t wait to share! But until January, I am sleeping late and spending time with my kids baking cookies, playing video games, reading stories, watching movies, and above all, reflecting on the miraculous gift that arrived on a midnight clear about 2000 years ago.
I hope 2011 has been a year of love and laughter for your family, and I hope that 2012 will be one of bright blessings as well.
I leave you with an image of my daughter from Christmas Past, taken when she was just a year old. May your holidays be filled with wonder, sparkle, and delight!
Much love,
Shannon
I have just loved seeing Clara grow! Just this week, as I sorted some files on my computer, I came across her newborn portrait session and enjoyed seeing the comparison between wee tiny Clara then and darling toddler Clara now. Her parents make every session a joy for me. The warmth and laughter in this family is so uplifting. And Clara’s sweet spirit just makes me smile.
Julie, Chad, and Clara, thank you! You are such a blessing.
Much love,
Shannon
Little boys! So much fun! So much energy! These two were a ball to photograph. I’ve said it before … I just love seeing the relationship between young brothers. It always reminds me of my own boys. They aren’t so little anymore, but thankfully they are still the best of friends. Growing up as an only child, the love between siblings is such a blessing for me to witness.
Much love,
Shannon
