I am always looking for things that inspire me to be a better person and a better photographer. Sometimes that leads me to spend too much time on the internet; some might even say I’m a youtube junkie. (Me, nah!)

I recently came across a few videos that truly inspired me and left me thinking if these folks can do all that, there must be more that I can do.  I’m mulling over a few ideas about how I can make more of a difference in the world even if it’s just through photography and my interaction with clients.

The first video that really blew my mind this week was the video below by the company sOccket.  Four women from Harvard came up with an amazing idea that is changing the world and it helped me see how little things can truly make a big difference.

The next video is equally amazing for me because it shows our infinite potential as human beings.  To me this video represents that any of us can do anything with a little help.  In this video this little boy is two and a half and his knowledge of science blows my mind.  What I loved most about this video is the interaction between father and son, even though he is teaching his son complex information he does it in such a loving and relaxing way.

I am currently booking wedding and lifestyle photography sessions for 2012.  Take a look at a few of our past sessions…These could be your images in 2012!

Celebration life and love,

So its New Years eve and another year is about to begin…  The New Year always brings a new start and reminds us of what is possible; for me the perfect representation of that  is a newborn.  Newborns come into the world and they are the embodiment of hope, they also exude love and light.  So as I look to a new beginning I thought, what better way to remind us of all that is possible than by looking through the eyes of little Addy.  Today is always a new day, we can stop and start over and figure out where we want to go from here.  This time of year is my slow season and having this time off  is a blessing for me, as it allows me to sit and think of where I have been and where I want to go next.

The Short and Sweet Session below took place when Addy was ten days old.  The midwife just happened to stop by while I was there, making this session extra special for me as I was able to document one of her first check ups.

I wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year, may you take the time to appreciate where you are and may all your dreams for the new year come true.

xoxo
