Baby Girl ~ Whitby Newborn Photographer

I am a little behind on blogging lately but wanted to post one last post before 2011 is over. This photo was from my last session of the year that was taken before the holidays were in full swing. It was such a pleasure to spend time with this sweet Italian princess. Congratulations go out to the happy family and all the best for the New Year! May you be blessed with many years of fulfillment and happiness as your family embark on this great new journey of parenthood together with your lovely new daughter. All my best to you. xo

I love everything about the last day of the year. The promise of what a new year has in store for everyone, the celebration of life and hope that is celebrated throughout most of the world we live in. Every year since I can remember I have written out a list of resolutions down for what I hope to accomplish in the upcoming New Year and what I did accomplish the year I left behind. All the lessons I have learned, mistakes I have made, happiness and joy that I have been blessed with, accomplishments, setbacks, etc.

I think that this past year was pretty good to me and my family. It was a year of restoration for me. I signed up for a gym membership last year and have been fumbling my way towards a healthier new lifestyle. For the first part of the year I was struggling with getting into routine and the past 4 months I have managed to frequent the gym 50 times! It is so amazing to see that number on the sign in screen accumulate and all the new found energy I have is so worth it! I also learned to knit after years of attempting it and giving up. Taking a class did help me and so far I have made 3 hats, 2 scarves, 5 pairs of mittens and 2 pairs of fingerless gloves. Yes, I have been busy :). Knitting is very similar to yoga. It helps keep me focused and my thoughts calm and positive while minding my children. Creating something that is useful, pretty and will keep my family warm this winter brings me happiness.
