It's the end of 2017, and what a year it has been! We have inhabited in our new studio now for the better part of the year and we are enjoying every moment of it. We are so grateful to our devoted clients and it has been such a thrill to share our new space with them. Like my kids, I love each of our clients images equally, but what is a year end without a best-of list?
