A New Year’s Eve Celebration, Happy Twenty Dozen!

AK — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 05:43:16 +0000

A few weeks ago, my good friend asked me to email her my resolutions for 2012. EMAIL?! I thought. I was reluctant because I’ve always doubted the power of resolutions, and this time they would be archived and she will surely hold me accountable. And to be honest, I’ve never been much of a New Year resolution maker. I’ve always thought that I don’t need the first of the year to set goals, and most New Year’s resolutions are usually forgotten in just a few weeks, anyways. But having entered my final year as a twenty-something, I figured a few new years resolutions could be good for me. So I sent them to her. Number one on my list of course, is to continue to grow my photography business!

There is a superstition that says “the way you bring in your new year is the way your year will go,” and if there is any truth to it, then I’m already off to a great start with my top goal for 2012. This New Years Eve I rang in the New Year photographing Jenna and Thomas’ 40s-themed New Year’s Eve celebration! Have you ever sat back and just watched what happens to people during the countdown? It’s quite amazing. And until this night, I didn’t understand it. The New Year is our opportunity to collect $200 and pass GO. It’s not starting over but its starting again with new chance and new hope. We’ve made it through the past year’s challenges, and somehow still have breath to rejoice in the triumphs.

I’m grateful for this new year, and for the new chance I have to get my resolutions and goals right once again, and for my friend who archived those resolutions.

Have a happy new year and make it a good one! (Just in case the Mayans are right.) Below are photos from the NYE party!

Nadja + Tim, a NYC Engagement

AK — Fri, 20 May 2011 05:02:18 +0000

Nadja and Tim’s love story began in New York City. To celebrate their engagement, their wishes were to capture the two of them with the beauty of NYC as their backdrop. You see, soon they will be moving to Germany, Nadja’s home and the place of the next chapter in their love story. I am hoping the memories these photos will bring to them will last for a lifetime.
