2012 in numbers & a winner chosen

My annual end of the year wrap up for 2012. In the numbers. But first, two pictures of what I’ll be working on first when I get home from vacation.

Little Mr. Max’s 1st birthday portraits (big thanks to Shira at ShiraZ photography for the studio for the morning). I photographed Max’s newborn session earlier in the year after an unexpected delay to his real newborn session. And now he’s one. Crazy how fast this year went.

And as my very last session of the year (well, not counting the shoot I did for my own boys on the beach in Florida for our belated New Years cards that will be sent out…soon) was beautiful baby Ava’s Christening. You can see her newborn shoot here.

Ok, onto the year in numbers…

I photographed 133 sessions in 2012, including 10 newborns, 5 weddings, and one 50th wedding anniversary. No wonder I’m so tired!

Thank you all for your business, your friendship, your trust in me to capture the most important people to you. For the emails, the gifts, the support, the babysitting, reading the blog, commenting on facebook posts, and all the love you are always sending my way! Wouldn’t be here without all of you and I promise you I won’t ever forget that!!

I blogged 261 times. Thats a lot of words. Maybe I should shut up?

And sadly, I took hardly any personal photos in 2012 that weren’t from my iPhone. I’m going to try really hard to take more personal pictures in 2013 on the real camera (but the big boys are so not going to appreciate this goal- they are DONE with pictures unless there are BIG bribes involved or it’s of them playing baseball). But maybe with the new puppy and Timmy I’ll still have a few willing subjects. It’s kinda pathetic that the reason I don’t take more personal pictures is because I know I’ll just have to edit them and I’m always just editing clients. Gotta try harder to take my own pictures.

And finally, the winner for the free bsquared mini session(for reaching 1,000 fans on the bsquared facebook page- which is now up to 1100) is: DONNA FARRELL – OCTOBER 12, 2012 – 1:01 PM
