HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Our tree is lit, stockings are hung…the Christmas menu is planned…Luke has a new winter sweater and has been loving our recently fallen snow.  Cards from our family and friends are strung up in the living room, and it makes me warm and fuzzy inside to look at them.  Today, I mailed our holiday cards and wrapped up the presents.  Now it’s time to sit back and relax!

This time of year is a period of reflection for a lot of people, and I am definitely one of them.  This year was a really special year for me, both personally and in my professional life.  I am so blessed to have such loving and fabulous friends, family and NEW family!  I was filled with joy on July 18 when I married my best friend in the whole world, and sometimes I still have to pinch myself to make sure it really happened (thanks to Cindy Patrick and Ken Stillman, we have proof!).  We followed the best day of our lives with an amazing visit to Ireland, and since we’ve gotten home I’ve been working non-stop and loving every minute of it.

Again this year, I think how lucky I am to be able to do what I love for a living.  It gives me so much joy to share my passion for photography with my clients, and I am still so humbled and honored every time that they trust me to capture their most special moments.  So, to all of my past, present and future clients I say THANK YOU!  I know that this was a difficult year for many, and I was overwhelmed with the generosity of all of you when I asked for Toys for Tots donations and you delivered!  Little ones are going to have a really magical Christmas thanks to you.

I leave you with some fitting end of the year images, including our recent SNOW DAY, some beautiful new albums and some generally cozy photos.

Best wishes for the New Year, and I’ll see you in 2010!

Much love,
Sarah

2009 November 5

I met up with Jaclyn and Jimmy at Tyler State Park for a Mini-Session early last week.  This is the very spot where they got engaged (we even found the same field!), so it was really nice to go back there with them.  They will be tying the knot in February, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them!

Jessica & Dan – ENGAGED

2009 November 4

Jessica and Dan are getting married up this way in PA, but live in Baltimore so I was happy to go down there and bum around with them for an afternoon late in October.  They were terrific tour guides, and Baltimore is a super fun city!  They met playing kickball…so of course we needed to include that!  Thanks guys, it was fun!
