Here we are at the end of the first week of 2011. It’s a new year, a new beginning. It is a chance to reflect on life, challenge ourselves, and start fresh with a new attitude.

Last week, Iván and I sat down to reflect on our goal list for 2010 that we made at the end of 2009, and to make a new one for 2011. It is easy to get caught up in the clutter and noise of the internet, of other people’s blogs and websites, and get into that comparison game. We’ve realized that the only comparison that we need to have is with ourselves. So, that being said, we were pleased with our 2010. We’ll carry that spirit into the new year, keeping faith in the process, and trusting in the journey- wherever that might lead us.

Here’s to continuing the adventure.

Some inspiration this week provided by the awesome Jerry Ghionis on “looking for the light” on the latest episode of FastTrack Photographer.

“To see the inner light, you gotta believe in the inner light.”

We are gearing up to head out to New Orleans for a little visit with our family before attending After Dark Education this week. We’re excited to get our learn on, to be inspired, and glean as much knowledge as we can for our art and business.  It will also be nice to meet up with some of our other photog friends that we’ve met over this year, and catch up with them.

And because blog posts are better with pictures, here are some “before and after” images of Zoe:
