Happy New Year to you. I hope your holidays were relaxing and fun! A new year always seems like a great time to reflect on what changes we want to make in our careers, health, and relationships. But before the changes can happen I feel like one needs to give thanks to all the achievements made in the previous year.

So, with that said I'd like to give a huge thank you to all my wonderful clients of 2007! From fun family sessions to capturing the emotions of newborn babies to all the wedding day vows, it was never a dull moment. All of you are unique and creative in your own way and I thank you for trusting me to capture the moments that are important to you. Thank you!

It was an old warehouse building with the original freight elevator and really tall ceilings. It had an urban beauty to it...I walked into the studio space and fell in love! I new right then and there that I had to have a space like that. About nine years later the dream came true! Fun stuff.
