Stillness !! I hope everyone is doing great :-) I love finding gems like this image in my slew of untouched portraits., I had such a busy summer with client sessions that I never touched a lot of my own images from my own children. This was probably one of my favourite outings with then, ponies, horses and this beautiful field of wild clover. There is no better time for me to edit some of these magical images as we go through this lockdown, I love the peacefulness of this image. 
A Winter Wish !! I found a folder of client Files as I was cleaning up my files for a new year, as I'm doing little things to keep myself busy during this lockdown, and It is keeping my mind busy, I have also signed up for two online workshops to increase my own professional development and bring even more exciting things to Pretty Dreams Photography. So today I edited this Gem from a Client session way back. This little one was truly amazing to work with and a natural in front of the camera. Happy Monday everyone. 
A little magic of childhood . 
Reading Snow Buddies. We had our first snowfall last night and My mind always roams even during a lockdown how I can freeze a special moment in time, So I had to continue our dog stories and his adventures with my kids, My daughter reads about two novels a week and our pup usually joins her cuddling by her feet or beside her. So I wanted to freeze that moment in time. This was taken very early this morning in our yard and I love how this was captured in a single frame just before the sun fully came out. There is nothing more magical than fresh snow and a story to go with it.

As 2020 comes to a close, I need to say goodbye to this year a little different than past years. 2020 what a year you have been, It has changed us all in so many ways. Will 2020 be missed, hmmm honestly NO on many levels, not at all. But as we wrap up the year, I have to say I've done a lot of deep reflections over these past few weeks and there is a lot to be grateful for. In reflection, it's been a year full of ups and downs for many including myself, a year of so much sadness and heartache for others and It's been a year of appreciating the simpler things in life. Its been a year of finding exactly what is important to each and every one of us. It's been a year of change. It's been a year of reflection on where my heart lies in my job and I love what pretty dreams photography has become in 2020. Each session was amazing and I loved each experience, and am so proud that families loved the experience and found it just as special as the memories made. It was a true honour to meet each and every one of you and give you something truly special, unique and timeless and something they can cherish forever. That's been a huge blessing to do what I love. As we enter 2021 let's start it with hope, love, kindness and all the gratefulness for what we each have in our lives, and how amazing each one is to have pushed through in this past year. This is my personal top 9 images of 2020!! They have nothing to do with most likes or comments or any recognition, But they are my favourite images because they tell a story and show all that there is in the wonder and magic of childhood. I truly want to thank every client who came to me this year, It was amazing to meet you and your families, I want to thank each and every new follower this year, and everyone who has taken the time to comment and like my work, I remember each one of you as those comments and likes are the best to any small business. To all my photographer friends old and new, what a blessing it has been to have you in my life. I can't thank you enough for your support and encouragement and support. I'm so proud of the unity we have shown each other in such a difficult time.
