It's hard to believe that 2009 is coming to an end. This year has been incredible for me, both personally and professionally. I have taken thousands upon thousands of photos this year, and it's really hard for me to pick out some favorites, but I gave it a shot. Are they all perfect? Heck no. Most of the images that I picked are special to me because I can recall the exact moment...and everything encompassed in that moment...when I took the photo. I really love capturing these moments for people. Twenty-ten is already shaping up to be a busy and exciting year. More weddings. More babies. More families. More friends. I can't wait! I'd like to dedicate this post to a friend of mine, Jan Cook, who just recently passed away on Christmas Eve. Jan was a creative, hysterical dynamo who happened to be a Nikon shooter herself. I regret that I never photographed her, when I should have. Jan, you will be missed.
