a new year {personal}

Well, it's no secret that I've been a little absent from blogging recently. Between a crazy end to my 2012 (thank goodness for crazy year endings) including many holiday sessions that couldn't be blogged about since holiday cards were in the makings and then my own personal vacation to FL for 3 weeks (yes, 3 whole weeks in sunny FL)...well, it didn't leave me much time for blogposts and updates I'm afraid. But, I'm back and I plan on being ever present again! So, while I'm late in the wishing everyone an official New Year, I'll just say Happy January instead.

I have many new year's goals, but the first and most important one for me is to have a better balance of life and work. I love my job. I love the life I am able to create with my job. With the addition of Della these last 6 (almost 7) months though, that balance has been a little askew for me. Who knew having 2 kids would be that much more complicated? :) So, in honor of the new year, I will make resolutions and set goals that make me a better photographer and most of all a better mom to these amazing kids...no amount of words can express the love I have for them. They fill me with the most amazing joy and not a day goes by (even the hair pulling out days) that I do not find more love for them and the life they give me. And while having 2 kids is definitely more complicated than just 1 (for me at least), watching them together and taking a moment to listen to their conversations (albeit 1 sided mostly at this point) is possibly one of the greatest thrills of my life. And since I'm running out of words to express myself at this point, I'll just give you a little glimpse of what I'm talking about in photos instead....Happy January everyone!
