It’s that time of year again when we all sit down, reflect, and make lists; what did work, what didn’t work, our big dreams and must-dos. I love this time of year! A fresh slate before me, a year of lessons behind me. What can I do RIGHT this time around?
Be forewarned, this is a doozy of a blog post!
Wow! What a year!! Many memories made, lessons learned, and experiences were had. I met so many wonderful families, witnessed the most beautiful couples make forever promises, and had the opportunity to get to know so many people.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you who picked me to capture your memories and be a tiny part of your lives this year.
I hope everyone that reads this was able to wake up to a warm, cozy home full of peace, love, and joy this morning. I hope you are surrounded by loved ones and will feel the true love of Christ in your heart and your surroundings today.
"He came not to a throne, but to a manger.
He lived not as a king, but as a servant.
He chose not an earthly kingdom, but a cross.
He gave not just a little, but everything."
Here's our family Christmas card we mailed out this year. They went out a little late, so this may be a spoiler for some of you who haven't received them yet. Ah well, better late than never!
From our family to yours: Thank you for the many ways you blessed our family this year. We're looking forward to creating more memories with you in 2014 and we can't see what God has planned for those whose paths we will have the pleasure of crossing!
P.S. Check back next week for the kick-off to our First Annual Best-Of Contest!!
The holiday season is in full swing around here and we are enjoying icy/rainy/somewhat snowy days with hot coffee, episodes of Daniel Tiger, and lots of twinkle lights! I'm also finishing up some final projects and delivering last minute family sessions. The off-season is almost here and you know what that means... lots of blog posts to come! I have a handful of weddings to blog and a ton of portraits from 2013. I am excited to finally share them with you guys!
In the meantime... I'm working on a little something special for my clients. (The Christmas spirit has bit me.) The week between Christmas and New Years Eve I'll be running a contest (or 2... or 3...) with exciting prizes! I can't wait to launch it. It'll be the first contest like this that I've ever done, so we shall see how it goes!! :)
I have missed you guys! I am almost done with our Christmas gift ordering and shopping, but we're about to start alllll the wrapping. And I have got to finish addressing our cards and get them in the mail. Eeek! (If you want one, shoot me an email to liz@sincerelylizphoto.com with your address and I'll send you one! But you have to promise to send me one, also. :)) We also had a cookie-baking-day with some friends of ours but apparently we scheduled it wayyy too early in the season. Because I've eaten almost all of the cookies myself. Yikes!
What have been your favorite holiday activities this season??
Here's a recent favorite shot from a family session. Many more of this session and others to come in the coming weeks!!
From our home to yours, we wish you a wonderful day full of warmth, joy, comfort, good food and great fellowship. And many prayers for those who are walking through a dark season right now... that these seasons would pass quickly but not without the support from loved ones.
Thanks to all of you who read my blog, hire me, and support my business. I'm so very grateful for you.
xo!
