So this is what 2010 feels like….
I remember writing a report in 3rd grade about what I thought the world would be like in 2010, and it looks like my prediction of flying cars and living in space hasn’t quite happened— YET :) I for one, am glad to still be here on earth, being inspired daily by my family & my desire to capture beautiful moments for my clients. I have so much to share with you guys I hardly know where to begin. The holidays were a time of reflection for me…I forced myself to close down the studio for what turned out to be one of the best weeks of my life. The days of Christmas were spent breathing in the syrupy smell of my boys as I watched them color, play piano, dance like crazy ( dance parties are a big deal at the Kano house ) and love every second of having my undivided attention. I came out of that week revived, re-inspired and ready to make big plans for 2010. I made a list of all of the things I want to do and be this year..and can’t wait to share it with you all. My biggest hope for this year is to connect…with all 25 of our couples, with old friends I haven’t seen since I opened this studio 3 years ago…. and with you. Yes, you. Our readers and twitter friends who have traveled this journey with us & offered support along the way. This blog has grown so much over the past year & has helped me build so many beautiful connections that I’m so grateful for. Here’s to a brilliant 2010, my friends… :)
Before we bid farewell to 2009, I have a very special couple to share with you. Vaneesha & Logan’s wedding was the perfect end to an inspiring year full of love. I had never met V ( this is what her friends & family call her..and how she signs every email to me :) before that chilly December day, but the minute I saw her and we hugged, I knew she was one in a million. She & Logan have an incredible bond. I couldn’t stop smiling while I was with them. The entire day was so full of energy, I left feeling like the luckiest person alive to be a part of such happiness. As a surprise to V, Logan gave her a laminated copy of the journal entry he wrote when he realized she was the one. I got chills as I watched her read it, and thought to myself- ‘she’ll show this to their kids one day.’ What a sweet moment it was…
Hope you enjoy this peek into the story of their day. To Logan & V…thanks for letting us share in your joy. I’m still smiling :)
