2009 A year in review | San Diego photographer

This past year has been amazing. I met the most wonderful people. Words cannot truly express the gratitude I have towards my family, my friends and my clients for making this year so unforgettable.

Each year brings new and exciting things to my business, but 2009 brought more than I could have dreamed of. I am blessed beyond measure with what I have been a part of this year. Thank you to my amazing clients that have allowed me to be a part of their lives. I have been fortunate to see many marriages, pregnancies, babies and families. It’s truly been my pleasure to be a part of my clients lives!

In addition to sessions I did two workshops, 15 One on One online mentorships and one in person mentorship.

I put together a slideshow with all of my sessions from this past year. I chose the song Dream by Priscilla Ahn, because it perfectly fits my emotions for this year. I watched the slideshow with the song and I cried. It’s a humbling experience to see your dream come to fruition. God has blessed me more than I could imagine or deserve! ( ** it takes a minute to load, but it’s worth it)

Thank you so much for an incredible 2009!

I have to say I stock your blog, or better yet, admire your blog on a regular basis. I can only hope to become 1/8th as talented as you are and are continuing to be. Thank you for sharing all of this with me and 1,000s of others. I only wish I was still in San Diego so I could spend more time hanging out with you to learn from a master! Way to go! May 2010 be even more fabulous! God bless Melissa.
