It’s the busiest and often, most stressful season for a child/family photographer. Lots of late, late nights and jam-packed days spent designing holiday cards, editing fall sessions and placing holiday orders. But today I answered the door to the most awesome surprise. She was picking up her images and arrived with a gift for me. It was a reminder of why this is such an amazing career … and a definite cause to stop and smile.  And be very thankful. I have the best clients who truly “get” the art in custom photography, the most supportive family and friends and the opportunity to keep growing this business. And despite being super tired right about now, I am incredibly thankful.

So, Melissa, you made my day with your heartfelt note and beautiful flowers! Thank you!
