Looking Forward
Twenty-ten is here. I feel as though 2009 went by too fast but at the same time I met the new year with an excitement and eagerness for the unknown in my path. Last year I started up this photo business and was wonderfully blessed with supportive friends and family. I learned, made mistakes, learned, and made mistakes. It can be a frustrating but wonderful process.
With that… Let’s go twenty-ten! I am excited for multiple reasons. More time for pictures, more time with my son, new moments with family and friends, more business, meeting new people, and the arrival of my husband and I’s second child. Oh boy, oh boy! We’ve got some busy times ahead of us.
Because no post is complete without a little image or two – my son and I enjoyed some jumping on the bed last weekend!
Happy Holidays
We all have holiday traditions and one of my favorites is heading downtown the day after Thanksgiving and wandering around the streets soaking up the people, the decorations, families waiting in line for Santa pictures, and warm cups of hot chocolate. Since my son arrived we have added the parade to this tradition. This last year he loved it – while he slept for the first bit of it once he woke up he was all smiles. So much fun to see his little face light up with excitement. Additionally, we always put up our Christmas tree. It was so much fun this year. Our tree doesn’t have many ornaments along the bottom half because my son continually takes them off and piles them up under the tree. It’s almost become a game we play each and every day! I hope that you and your family have been enjoying the holidays to date. If I could toast everyone with a cup of hot chocolate I would!

So excited to put up the tree! This face makes me wish we could put up a Christmas tree all year round!
Sports Fan
Our son is incredible in so many ways, not the least being his ability to sit in the stands at a sporting event cheering on his home team. We have season tickets to the Seattle Sounders soccer games and we take him to all the games that we can – we recently took him to a Mariner game and he was happy to take in the game on a beautiful summer day and eat his red rope! 
A new favorite
My guy, I tell you he is too cute and hilarious for words. He is so happy all the time. I am a lucky parent. Took these during breakfast a couple of days ago and they have quickly become some new favorites.
Fun in the Front Yard
Sometimes some fun in the front yard can result in the opportunity to capture a great moment with a child. I say that to encourage all to remember that a good photo or moment to remember is not typically staged. Sometimes all you need is a Tonka truck and grass.
Trip to Florida
The family took a trip to visit friends in Florida and spend some time relaxing. First stop on the itinerary was Walt Disney World. While there we also took a drive out to the ocean and spent some time getting our son acquainted with a sandy beach. It was a great break from Seattle while it was snowing.
