Hello 2012 - New Year, New Name

Is it too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year? I'm going out on a limb here to say I'm in the clear. So Happy New Year everyone!! We're 4 days in, how is 2012 treating you thus far? I can't complain. I haven't worked since Saturday so 2012 is going swell for me. :)

You may have noticed the blog name change. If not, surprise! I had a tremendous amount of people ask me to keep my blog going this year - which meant a name change. Thanks to my wonderfully/witty and always on her toes friend Tamara the blog is now Shutter Blossoms. There is no need to panic, I will continue to share photos and random thoughts. I set out to blog about photography last year and I did just that. This year (and possibly from now on) the blog will focus on all aspects of art in my life. All ranging from photography (duh), art journaling, mixed media projects, poetry, short stories and other literary pieces. I also want to share random sites/ideas that I can't live without. I'm excited to get this year started and I hope you will continue to follow my journey as I blossom into my own.

I did a photo shoot Sunday 1-1-12 with my friend Danielle. I put her through a lot of torture (rain, sunlight in her eyes, muddy high heels..you know normal model mishaps) but she was a good sport and I got the shots I wanted.

I'm only sharing my favorites here. The rest can be found on my Facebook fan page.

Happy New Year! Let's make 2012 the best year of our lives (yet).

And last...my favorite shot of the entire day. :)
