The New Year equates new beginnings, wishes, goals and aspirations for each one of us. In this New Year, I wish each and everyone health, happiness and the ability to experience a miracle – large or small.  

The secret to making a wish come true is action. One cannot expect results by sitting back and waiting for their desires to be magically met. Instead, wishes are granted when each of us make the effort to work towards that goal. Whether it is a conscious effort to be more positive, to search for everlasting love or lose those last few inches, action is the key.

In Jan. I am on the move from one destination to the next. Keep your eyes peeled for my big hair topped with bows, and maybe a feather or two. You cannot have signature talent without my signature style. I just hope all those feathers, flowers and bows bring a smile to your faces. I know they brighten my day.

Already it seems odd to be thinking so far in advance, but Valentine’s Day gift albums are already being requested. All I can say is… There are going to be some happy hubbys this Valentines once they get a peek of what their amazing wives and I have been cooking up. It’s not too late if any of you hot mommas wanted to squeeze in a shoot. Just let me know. Wink wink.

Dean and Lisa are starting off the New Year with some romance. What better setting to launch their celebration than at the Ranson House - a beautiful backdrop for a beautiful couple.

 Dean and Lisa this past summer...

New babies are on the way and I am eagerly anticipating snapping shot after amazing shot of these little cherubs. All of this is fodder for the next issue of Little One’s Magazine coming out in Feb. Watch for the next issue and see if you know any of my featured “little ones”.
