my favorite holiday moments | organic photography
One of my few 2010 goals is to photograph more of my own organic moments. As photographers we sometimes get lazy in shooting our own lives for a number of reasons, one being that our job is our life so there is little else to shoot, and two being that we don't always lug our cameras around on our milliseconds off.But this year I commit to: A) Actually have a life to photograph. This means taking a day off a week. Just one on Sunday, but I am really excited about decompressing and enjoying some r&r with friends and family. And B) Share as many of those moments as I can with you. So to start things off, I figured I'd post my favorite organic holiday moments. I know I'm a little late on the whole holiday thing but with all the busyness over the past month, I'm lucky I even captured them. But I will tell you this post is a bit extensive so sit back, and just enjoy the scroll. I promise they won't always be this long.Oh and what recap would be complete without a top 10 list? And this is a great one:My top 10 holiday moments:10. Semi-College Reunion at Anthony & Natalie's Wedding.9.  Having coffee just for fun with Sara Kauss without being on a schedule8.  Season's 52 for our anniversary dinner7.  Amazing Breakfasts (This one really deserves a much lower number)6.  Finally touring the Jupiter Lighthouse5.

Dancing with Dave to our song on our anniversary. (more to come on this)So there you have it, and now some of my fave photos from the season:
Christmas at the Cornett's always involves a little jam session.
and amazing breakfast. This happens to be my favorite. Hawaiian French Toast. ohmygosh.
This year we were puppy-sitting my mom's 8-week old yorkie, Coco. She was a handfull on Christmas. But so adorable.
And you do need to see my favorite three gifts this year. From Dad and Dave. These boys know me well.The pillow on the left is from Jenny Greeke's etsy shop and the one on the right is from Antro as well as the little blue guy down below.
Next, I hosted Melissa's shower at our place and we had a great morning of catching up with old friends and playing silly games.I had a great time planning all the decor!
Dad started it off with a prayer of blessing on Melissa's upcoming marriage and our breakfast.
I loved having Dave's Mom and mine at the party. Aren't they pretty?
We played the always enjoyable "design a TP bridal gown" game.
and the wedding word scramble game as well as the "can't say wedding or you lose your pin" game. love those.
We also subjected her to Fiance Trivia and made her chew a piece of bubble gum for every wrong answer. She loved that game. ha.
Her my favorite gift she received was a apron with her married name on it designed by yours truly and custom-made by Sheena Wilber
Melissa's BFF brought her new baby boy Elias and I just had to snap a couple pics of his cuteness
I love this photo of Mom, Melissa and Me.
The next day Dave and I celebrated our third anniversary with a day full of great things but I only had my camera during our tour of the Jupiter Lighthouse.
It was really fun and educational!
But a little scary too.
I am truly so blessed by my beautiful life and I thank each of you for what you mean to me.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
