2011 Favorites

2011 was a year for learning, growing and lots of firsts.  In the midst of our home renovation, my husband & I decided to embark on a new adventure---starting Paige Meyer Photography.  For me personally, it has been one the most rewarding decisions I have made. Never in my life did I think that in my first 6 months I would be booked solid through the end of the year. God has blessed in more ways than I could have ever asked or imagined. I am so grateful for all my clients who were willing to take a chance on me as I was (am) still learning and growing. I had the privilege of working with so many wonderful clients who reminded me each and every session why I absolutely LOVE what I do!   It gives me so much joy to be able to capture each and every sweet moment and I look forward to many more to come this year.  Enjoy some of my favorites of 2011!

I also want to give a big thank you to my husband who has been the most supportive & encouraging person in my life.  He has moved furniture, set up engagement vignettes, acted like a complete fool to get smile from little ones (see photo below for an example), has given up his dream for a "man cave" so I can have a studio at home, and has put up with some incredibly long hours of editing at the office. He has let me bounce a bajillion business ideas off of him and has listened intently like he actually knows what I am talking about even when he probably has no clue at times. I'm sharing all of this basically to say he deserves a lot of credit --- most of the things he does go without being seen so I just want to thank him for being the wonderful handful of a husband that he is!  Case and point....

As we begin 2012, I am excited to see what God has in store! There are lots of new & exciting things in store for this year and I can't wait to see them play out. My mind in constantly turning and thinking of better ways to serve you. Thank you all again for making it possible for me to pursue my passion and allow me to do what I truly love to do! 

I'm thrilled to introduce...

I don't normally do personal posts on this blog but I thought I would make an exception because:

a.) Sarah is one of my best friends and has wanted a baby for as long as I can remember

b.) You will be seeing a lot of this sweet little man in the coming years so I thought he deserved a 

proper introduction!

So without further adieu, meet Simeon Kade!

I think this was right before Abel started telling us all how 'fun' labor was....we all laughed knowing Sarah probably had a slightly different choice of words than 'fun'  Oh these boys---gotta love em!

This little mama was one tough cookie---no joke.  No drugs and no complaining--she was awesome!

Funniest moment ever...Simeon peed on his Uncle Brian right off the bat!!  Well funniest moment, besides when he pooped on Abel during the newborn session but I'll save that story for the next post!

 Congrats Sarah & Abel! It was such a blessing to be a part of this exciting time in your lives.  Check back in a few days for some teasers from Simeon's newborn session!
