what a year!

When the clock struck midnight on January 1st, 2010, Brian and I vowed that the year ahead would be one for making changes and tackling dreams. We had no idea that 9 months later I would choose to leap from the path I'd been traveling, quit my job, and pursue photography full time. It has been so exciting, and at times scary, to watch this dream I've harbored for 12 years become a reality. It would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our family and friends. To each of you a tremendous thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

And to Brian, whose faith in me is incomprehensible...I love you.

Here are some of my favorite AHP shots from the last few months of 2010. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2011!

xoxo. Andrea

a baby celebration

Last weekend we gathered with friends to celebrate the forthcoming birth of a new family. The party was co-hosted by myself and two lovely ladies, all of us brought together by our shared bond to the dad and mom-to-be. We were lucky to have near-perfect weather, which allowed us to spend a relaxing evening outside sharing stories and laughter as candlelight flickered across happy faces.

Congratulations Joe and Erin, we are so excited to meet your baby boy!
