I know, I know... so sorry for the lack of blogging. Forgive me, blog readers! I was so excited to be caught up at the holidays that I took some time off for some much needed family time, R&R, and snow play. There was sledding, sleeping, movie watching, Wii playing, and peppermint-mocha drinking (with whip please!).

Before we take 2009 by the reins and dive into all this new year has to offer, I would love to reflect back on 2008. For me, 2008 was a major year where I expanded my knowledge of photography, and completely redefined my shooting and editing style. With so much accomplished, I just hate to say goodbye to 2008 without the proper respect and adoration it deserves. Over the next several days, I will be posting some of my favorite wedding and portrait photos from last year, with each post featuring different editing techniques.

Today? Let's look back on a few of my favorite portrait sessions finished with a classic edit.
