It was a great month at the tree farm for holiday sessions! This place truly is beautiful and I have really enjoyed seeing everyone and also meeting new families! I also would like to give a huge thank you to the owners of the tree farm for allowing us to come to your beautiful property!
And now I need to get our tree up and Christmas decor out of the basement.. Happy Holidays, Everyone!
I have a pumpkin cheesecake in the oven, a dog that needs a bath, and packing to do for our Thanksgiving trip! During the busy holiday season, sometimes it is hard to pause and practice gratitude. In this case, I am thankful my son gave me enough peace to bake, thankful Leo is such a good dog, thankful for all of the endless little boy clothes I need to pack, and thankful to have family to be visiting for the holidays.
You may have heard before that I need tv shows or music playing while I am working late at night to help me focus. Lately, this has included many YouTube videos of interviews with Maya Angelou by Oprah and others. If you are looking for inspiration, look these videos up and start there.
When you practice gratitude every day, it is amazing how much everything changes. A dear friend of mine, who is also a photographer also started on this journey with me a few weeks ago. Drowning in busy season and trying to figure out how we can improve our businesses for next year, we set goals for ourselves and talked about how important it is to have a positive state of mind and practice gratitude.
Within days of consciously changing our mindsets, we were amazed at all of the amazing things that started happening for ourselves and our businesses.. the power of your state of mind is truly amazing. I realized that along with my hard work and dedication, changing my frame of mind to see the positives and be thankful in all situations, good and bad, was helping me to be successful in my business and in my personal life.
So this holiday season, I challenge you.. to see the glass half full. Be thankful for what you have been blessed with.. even if it does not seem like you can find anything in that moment to be thankful for, there is always something.

Ben and Katie,
Thank you so much for asking me to photograph all of these really special moments. It was a blast running around Franklinton and Downtown Columbus with you guys!
I still cannot believe how amazing the sunset was and that we had the whole bridge to ourselves! I am also excited to see which ones you have printed! These definitely belong on the walls.
No fancy words.. just a cute family at a beautiful Christmas tree farm! We met at sunrise, which is actually pretty late this time of year and captured some beautiful moments.
Enjoy the cuteness!
Erika
