So long, 2011.

Happy New Year!

It had its ups & downs but overall I’m sad to see 2011 end. Despite 1 month of bedrest, it was a good year for me.

Some highlights:

Shot my first wedding…

S&C

I spent Valentine’s Day with wonderful friends, delicious food & slightly embarrassing karaoke (at least my performance)…

Valentine's Day

Went to Ireland & had a blast, celebrated my cousin’s 21st birthday with way too much alcohol & dancing, realized I was afraid of cows…

Ballinrobe

Ashford

Cong

Sheep

Spent a wild weekend in the Hamptons celebrating Sarah’s birthday, with a surprise delivery from Australia…

Had a great time shooting at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade & didn’t get spit on, which was a nice change from last year…

Witnessed the unions of several happy families in Central park…

Watched my cousin run the ING NYC Marathon, got inspired to start running myself…

Went on a long-overdue photo excursion with Erin

And finally, my oldest friend went & made another gorgeous baby, little Jake Michael.

Now I’m off to run 4 miles in Central Park, drink champagne & welcome what I believe will be an even better year than this one. I’ve got big plans for this site; a re-vamping in the next couple of weeks, tons of shoots & projects planned, & I’m excited to share it all with you.

See you next year!

Love,

Melissa
