Looking back at 2012!!!


Do you hear that... that sound is the ringing in of the New Year! Hello 2013 and good-bye 2012. But before I say good-bye, I would like to look back my 2012. I had the honor of getting to work with the most amazing people and without these people I would not be where I am today. I also got to complete some of my goal and had some wonderful memories made. 

Here is a look back at some of my favorite photos:



Now to a few of my memories that were made this year:

That's right, I got married to my bestfriend!
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
Table 4
Table 5

and I also got my sweet new puppy.. Titan

That's what he looked like when I got him... now... well, see for yourself



That is just a few of many memories that were made. Sorry this blog is so long, I still do have one more thing to add... that's right, my goals that I made. Well, checked off my 101 in 1001.  Let's start with number 9, that's right one unforgettable Christmas party down, 2 more to go... Next number 12, I am now up to 88 fans and I would like to thank all of them for being so supportive. Number 13, I have 2 more new photo sessions up. Which you can view at my web site Katherine Boyd Photography. Number 41... well Kevin, I beat you this year... but don't worry there is always next year for you to try and take your title back. Are you up for a challenge? If so, bring it!!! 

This is not all of the lights.... because our yard is way to big... but anywho.. there will be more ... oh yes... next year there will be more!!!
Number 59, the music/kick back room has been cleaned and is slowly being decorated. YAY!!! 

Well it has been a wonderful year, 2012! But I feel as if  2013 might just top it. Anywho, Happy New Year! See you all in 2013!

Hey Kevin if you are reading this.. be afraid very afraid! Muhahaha .... Here is a view at my photo sessions I have been doing which brings me to 10 photo sessions... on number 13.
