Fall is by far my favorite season; it passed way too quickly this year.  I’ve been missing the crisp cool days and vibrant colors lining the northwest landscape. Things are just too gray in the winter!!

In other news, I’m close to launching a new print shop and an etsy shop that will feature affordable prints!  Be sure to become a fan on facebook to receive updates when the store opens and when new prints hit the shop. (facebook fans will get special discounts, too!)

  • donaville - these photos are phenomenal :)

  • Christine - Wow Kim… these are seriously beautiful…. I would love to have prints like these on my wall! You are amazing. :)

  • Heather - So pretty! You’re a photography rockstar!

Hello 2011!

First off, I don’t want to start the new year without thanking all of my beautiful 2010 clients!  Watching you all fall in love, get married, and have babies was the highlight of my year!  I am truly so grateful and blessed to continue to do what I love to do, and it’s all because of you.  Honestly, I’m still not sure how the business keeps rolling in.  Being a professional photographer was a dream of mine since I was very little (like, 8 years old), so it’s still unbelievable to me that it’s a reality.   Thank you!

For me, 2010 was all about slowing down and focusing on what was important.  I took a lot of “me time” and because of that I was pretty quiet on the blog and on social media sites.  The computer ruled my life in 2009, and I wasn’t going to let it run 2010.  I’ve had lots of ideas throughout the past year that are still brewing and growing, and my hope is that they become reality in 2011.

The New Year started for me with a crashed hard drive, some important files lost (and then found!),  and a week long sickness that is finally starting to subside. (not really a great start)  But now that the first week is out of the way, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I’m ready to dive into 2011 with enthusiasm and wonder!  Instead of listing my gazillion goals for 2011, I thought I would share a quote that I would like to live by in both my personal and professional life:

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” – Rumi

Here are some iphone snaps from my 2010.  Looking forward to what 2011 will bring…
