2011 in review and my top 10 posts
via SaraLynn
2011 was a crazy year. An absolutely wild year. It started out pretty tough (my grandma was in the hospital in December of 2010, and then in February, we had snowpocalypse, and then my mom was in the hospital. I joined ARTprenuer as their resident photography expert, was in a minor car accident and unveiled my brand new website and blog in April.
May was busy, but pretty quiet. I opened up my aprilbernphoto etsy shop with the hopes of focusing on selling my fine art prints.
Things picked up again in June when decided to relax and slow down my hectic work pace and I got engaged (holy moly! i still can't believe it)
At the end of July, we bought a house and the end of August, we finally heard back for sure that we got the house! September was just as busy packing, packing, and packing some more and opening up a new photography portrait business with my good, good friend.
October and November were spent settling in the new house, and doing a ton of fun photoshoots!
December has been great so far (only 3 days left!) and barely an inch of snow has fallen all month (I can handle this kind of winter!) Christmas was sunny and 41 degrees. NICE! The Christmas break was spent with friends and families and was wonderful!
