Several things were really terrific about our Christmas holiday this year.  One was the amazing gift of a family cruise – sisters, husbands, grandparents and cousins all Lido decking, lounge-chairing, hot-tubbing, face-stuffing and karaoke-singing (yep, and we have the video to prove it!).  The other really terrific part?  Getting to share in the joy of my youngest sister, Sarah’s engagement to Thomas.  We did part one of their engagement session on the beach in Cozumel on Christmas day.  Was it strange to spend Christmas day on the beach?  Yes.  But not as strange as watching my baby sister smooching on some big boy.  Definitely put my professionalism to the test. : )  I have to admit, they’re pretty stinkin’ adorable together.
This is pure Photography 101.  Just because some guy in a Speedo is running by, doesn’t mean you should stop shooting!Loved this picture no matter what the toning!

A BIG thanks to Grammy and Gramps for giving us all a “December to Remember”, and congratulations to my sweet sister Sarah.  You deserve every bit of sweetness life has to offer.
