A New Year and New Collages -- Finally!

Well, here it is 2010. It feels super odd to type the year after so many years of tying 09, 08, etc. Being able to say it's twenty ten even feels odd. I remember sci fi shows when I was little and 2010 was way off in the future! I think by now, our cars are supposed to be flying and robots tending our house (boy, would I love to have a Rosie to clean my house!!!).

2009 was such a great year! When I started Magic Moments Photography in October, 2008, I had a plan and a vision and not much else! There have been bumps and learning experiences along the way, certainly, but the one thing that I have discovered that I never expected is just how emotional being a photographer is! I get to know people, sometimes pretty well, during the course of a shoot. You have to in order to learn their personality, to get them to lose the picture fright that we all have....and then they are gone from my life. I find myself wondering about the twins and their cousin that came in for the Spring Special last year, how big they must be getting! And the newly married couple from Owensboro -- has he been deployed to Afghanistan yet, and how afraid and yet brave they must both be....babies who gave me toothy smiles and drooled freely should be walking by now! And so, life goes on and I find that this work that I have take up has more of my heart that I ever expected. A Very Happy New Year to everyone and the best wishes for 2010! I can't wait to see who I get to know this year.

And then, housecleaning from last year! I want to thank my uber patient clients, Susie and Melanie for their patience in letting me recover from the fall rush and the holidays before getting their collages posted. Also, congrats to Susie and Mel, who recently became engaged (as if anyone couldn't tell that was on the way for these two lovebirds.)
