I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am still shedding tears over the images and news coverage coming out of Haiti. One thing that does make me proud to be a human being in this dark times is the outpouring of money and help coming from all corners of the earth.

One great example of this is Switch Cities. Switch Cites is a collection of wedding photographer from all over the world that regularly show the best of their non-wedding work. These fine folks have come together along with other photographers to auction off their prints with all proceeds going to help out in Haiti.

They are actually on round two of the auction. The first round earned a impressive $2633 US dollars, so I’m excited to see what they can raise this time around.

So if you are looking to help or you’re just looking to spruce up a wall with a killer new print, head on over to the auction and bid on your favorite print.

2010….sounds so sci-fi.

How will you remember 2009?

For my family 2009 was a year of firsts. First bike, first day at school, first hockey stick, first word (we think…). For the business, 2009 has been a year of maturity. It has also been my first full year with the blog. I have gotten to point my camera at some truly amazing people and I can say that I have the best clients on the face of the earth.

How will I remember 2009? With a huge grin on my face

I spent my new years long weekend combing through all the memories of 2009 and I’ve gathers 61 images that I think express the feeling of the last year of this decade for me. Lots of smiles, lots of emotion and a copious amount of lip locking. Some images you have seen, some never made it to the blog for one reason or another, but all would be lining my walls if I had a much bigger house.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did capturing them.

Now….Bring on 2010!
