I hope that everyone had a very merry holiday season!  We spent Christmas morning at home and then left that evening to visit with our families who live out of town.  I always feel a sense of accomplishment for making it through the bustle of Christmas in one piece.  But now comes the melancholy part of the year as the long winter approaches.  There is sure to be several snows, and I'm not really looking forward to it.  Will hopefully get some fun photos from it, though.

My husband got me the full version of Photoshop for Christmas, so I'm incredibly excited to get that on my computer and start learning the ropes.  I've been working with Photoshop Elements until now.  AND, for my birthday (which is the week before Christmas) he also surprised me with the gorgeous Kelly Moore camera bag that I've been drooling over for so long!!!  I've been trying to win one of those suckers for quite some time!  So Facebook friends, thanks to my husband you no longer have to see those annoying status updates that say something like "Kelly Moore is giving away a bag of your choice..."  He really outdid himself this year!

I squeezed in a really quick Christmas shoot with a couple of friends and their 1 year old the week before Christmas.  You'll recognize them as they are one of the couples who show up on here regularly.  They're so sweet to always let me practice on them :)  It almost seemed as if the universe was against it that day, but we made it happen and got some really sweet images!
