Judie Ann Photography: January 2012

Wow!! Did 2011 fly by or what? It is absolutely crazy how quickly this year went by. I married the love of my life on April 23rd. Visited Italy for our Honeymoon (which I have yet to blog about), visited Peru with my dad to meet my extended family and of course made an annual trip to our favorite city, Miami.

There were definitely bumps in the road in both my personal life and my professional life but I managed to stay sane and took each day as it came. As hard as it may seem sometimes, I try to always see the positive in everything and I am blessed to have the friends I have who always lend an ear when I need to vent. However, I honestly cannot complain one bit because I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for those struggles and the lessons behind them!

Thank you 2011! Because of the 12 months you provided this year, I have experienced memories that will last me a lifetime!! I am now ready to embrace 2012 with open arms :-)

Thank you all for taking the time to stop by my corner of the web. You are and will continue to be a part of my journey in this life. Your kind words and encouragement always make me smile and I am grateful for that. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Here are few of my favorite images from 2011! So 2012, bring it on baby. I am ready for you!

Hi there!! I know you're probably wondering where I have been and all I can say is December was a pretty busy month for me. We bought our first Christmas tree, Mickey, as a married couple and spent time with our grandbaby Mason! Its been wonderful :-) I wanted to take the time to write about my life in 2011 but I couldn't do that without writing about my last couple of the year, Carol and Ryan.

Carol and I have been friends for almost 15 years now and even though there are times when we don't speak as often because life leads us in different directions, when we do get together, we pick up right where we left off. Those are the kind of friendships that I hold near and dear to my heart forever. You can imagine my excitement when Carol asked if I would shoot her and Ryan's engagement photos!! I was honored to say the least but super excited. We kicked off the shoot in Liberty State Park and ended in their hometown of Westfield, NJ. Meet Carol and her love Ryan!
