Fun in the Snow!

It's not everyday that you get to play in the snow and get to take pictures while doing so! We had the opportunity to have some snow day fun with some gorgeous gals a few weeks ago at Oxbow Park in Elkhart, IN.

Sophia and Amalie are sisters and Kit is their older cousin - and what joy they brought to each other!

Their families were in town for the holidays and their grandma wanted some fun photos of the gals - we decided some playing in the snow was the way to go! What a great time we all had - and some great laughs along the way! These gals sure know how to have fun together!

What a Year - Thank you 2010!

What a year it's been - triumph, failure, success, growth - quite a beautiful collage I think.

I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I am reminded of the amazing moments that made up 2010 - the most amazing being the birth of my son, Eli Joseph Allison. He's quite the stud :-). He gets his good looks from his daddy!

There have been so many other amazing moments along the way - including working with some of the most AMAZING clients, photographing their special moments. My sister Erin and I have been blessed beyond measure to work with such awesome people. We can't wait to see what 2011 brings!

We live in such a beautiful place - a place filled with freedom and hope - a place where I truly believe, anything can happen. It's amazing what a little hard work and determination can do.

In this New Year, filled with endless possibilities, I'd like to think I'll try new things that I've never tried before. Perhaps visit places that I've never visited before - but mostly, do more for others - give back to those that have given so much. I want to give time and attention to those things that really matter - because after all, we're not promised tomorrow.

So, this year, living every minute to the fullest is the goal - embracing every moment as if it were the last - enjoying life and simply - LOVING every second of it! Happy 2011!

He's quite the sleeper!

My sisters and I wanted to snap a few photos of the cousins during the holidays - this was one of our favorites! We have a feeling they will be good buddies! ;) Eli, Max and Cooper - beautiful boys!
