They are incredibly sweet and madly in love.

Christine and Joe will say their “I-Dos” this summer in a gorgeous nature preserve surrounded by their close family and friends; the perfect intimate gathering for these two. We decided to have their engagement session in the unique little town that they call home, Yellow Springs. Brett and I just ADORE Yellow Springs and it’s super quirky, eccentric, hippie vibe.  The streets are lined with interesting people, little shops, cafes, and all within walking distance to some magnificent natural wonders.  We are thrilled for their wedding which will be held there in 3 months!!

What a year it has been….we had a great 2010!

I look at my life at this point and compare it to last year, and I honestly feel like a new person. This past year has been such a reflective and introspective one for me; a time of change- of reevaluation. In my constant search for BALANCE, I’m learning to view things with new eyes. I see growth- in my personal life, in our family, in our business. But I still see so many more goals that I want to accomplish…..(but much more on that later).

This morning we enjoyed a great breakfast as a family. We read the bible, and then Priya and I did some knitting. I also spent some time looking back at our year in photo sessions. Quickly, I grabbed a sampling from each shoot of 2010- minus a couple weddings that are still in the works….

Thank you to all the wonderful people that invited us into your lives for a moment. Each of you in turn gave something to us, and we truly feel honored to have documented bits and pieces of who you are.
