A new year - a new little life!

Happy 2010 to everyone!!
Where to even begin?! I enjoyed a wonderful Christmas break with my family - most of which we spent skiing. Now that the girls are back in school - it is full tilt to get the business ready for year TWO. The new blog has been purchased - the big reveal should happen in about two weeks. I am working on pricing and info packages for clients as well. I should be ready to hit the ground running for April 1st. I just have to stay focused. That - I am not very good at. The Bachelor is back on and I started reading Twilight. What more can I say?

I have some brave souls booked for winter family shoots - that calls for a round of starbucks hot chocolate after for sure! I actually love outdoor shooting. I started my business in the snow so my heart is always a little drawn to this season.

For the next three months I am looking to expand my newborn portfolio. Please contact me for package details at oneforthewall@rogers.com. I have some brand new baby hats that just left the US today - I am looking forward to using these!! It is best to photograph newborns in the first ten days.

And speaking of newborns and a new year! It's a BOY! I did call it on M and P's blog post. They, too, were certain it was a boy. I was just thrilled to get the e-mail that he had been born. What a pleasure it was to see him and to photograph him just before Christmas. He is absolutely precious. My sincerest congratulations to you all! (I hope you are getting some sleep too - wink wink!)

I will be pressing the rewind button soon on my blogposts to take us back to September. I have over 40 families to blog so get set! Enjoy!



A BOY!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Hello to everyone!
How is it that it is now Christmas eve day and my "to do" list is longer than it was yesterday? I couldn't leave for holidays without posting one more blog before years' end. Too much to say!
What a year it has been!!! I thought I would post a few pictures from the fall/early winter sessions that I haven't even begun to blog. I know I am missing pics from lots of fams (all my teens, moms and dads and babies!) and I will blog them - I promise!! I am looking forward to the break this winter to work on my new photo blog and to spend some time going through those wonderful memories again. These are just a glimpse of the incredibly beautiful and charming little ones that I had the opportunity to work with. I just smile when I look back at them all.
I would like to thank the over 130 families that put their faith in me in my first year of business to take their pictures and of course give you "One for the Wall". I have enjoyed every minute with all of you and I sincerely hope you have loved your images as much as I have. I appreciate the many people that take the time to read my little blog that could and take a moment to e-mail me with comments. It means a lot!

Onward and upward for 2010!!

Thanks once again to Christine of CLICK photography. If it weren't for Chris taking me under her wing - this dream would not exist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
And to Angela Smith for all of her incredible design work and unwavering support on this journey. I have these two incredible photographers behind me - helping along the way...I could not have done this alone. I am grateful each day that I am able to work in a field that I am passionate about. I have finally found my "thing" and there is no better feeling.
I could not forget to thank my hubby and two amazing little girls. You are my world and I am grateful that you love your "tophographer" (this is what Kate calls me for those who missed that post a long time ago!) wife and mommy!

I will start up my thank you column again in January. I have a million more of them to give.
Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy the holiday season!!
Much appreciation,
Hilary
