Here we are breaking into 2016! It's been a year of growth both in my business and my family. A week away from my second Imaging USA convention and we are booking clients for next fall already.  The time seems to fly by and the seasons change in the blink of an eye.  The best we can do is hold on to the moments and try to document them before they are gone!  Here's to another year of fun and new discoveries!

Just because Summer is the busy season doesn't mean there isn't time to slow down and have some fun!!  Find that balance and take the time to appreciate the things that are passing you by faster than you can soak it all in.  I am sure there are days this little one wants me to put down the camera and join her, and most days I do my best to make that happen.  I couldn't ask for a better CEO and inspiration to keep this venture on track.
