Mr. Rylan turns 1!

So I just happened to be planning a trip to my parents' place this month, and an old school mate of my sister's contacted me about doing a photoshoot of her youngest little guy, Rylan.  He was, of course, adorable and such a happy little guy!  Here's a few snapshots to enjoy!

Thanks for providing me with such a good model, Jenny and Murray, and for letting me capture his sweet smile!(not to mention a few cute shots of him with his big brother and big sister!)

20.....13!!?!!?!!?!!!

Oh my, I can't believe I managed to skip posting pictures from an entire year!!!!!  2012 was good to me.  I was able to watch my little one grow and have her very first birthday cake (it was a hello kitty cake that I whipped up over the course of a few days).  My husband and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.  I became an aunty twice over again--a niece in January and a nephew in November.  I also had the privilege to be the photographer at 3 weddings, and we attended 6 more weddings on top of those 3!!!!  I also managed to fit in a few family, and one baby photoshoot!  I decided not to return to my full time position at Louis Dreyfus Commodities, which was a hard thing for me to do, but I value my precious little family more than my busy days of grain elevator mumbo jumbo.  So yes, 2012 was a successful year, challenging, very busy, with quite a few ups, and not so many downs, but I'm looking forward to yet another wonderful year filled with many blessings!  Bring on 2013!  Here are my favourite shots of the past year...
