Happy New Year!

What a year it has been for us! It started off very typical with us being slow during the winter due to the weather and not having an indoor space to hold studio shoots. I had envied people who had indoor space! Spring and summer started and I was getting the itch to make this bigger and better. I wanted this to be my sole job. My career. I was tired of being a part-time photographer. Enter the Omaha Daily Deal. This deal literally shot us into full-time whether we wanted it or not! We had no choice! It was awesome! We sold 70 deals in 2 days and we haven't looked back since. It has been non-stop since August and we wouldn't have it any other way.

We are very fortunate to have had the Daily Deal feature the business as we have met some of the nicest, most generous people I have ever met. I loved working with each and every one of them and can't wait to see them all again in the future!

Since we were growing so fast and one of our goals for 2011 was to buy a house, we started looking at houses with walk-out basements to be able to have an in home studio.We ended up closing on our house just before Christmas! So from here on out, we are no longer limited in what we can do. Being able to shoot indoors and outdoors is one of the best feelings ever. I can now do what I love year around!

For 2012, Brooklyns Photography is going to start using this blog to display our progress as we design the studio, showcase our sets and show off all of these cute photos along the way! Oh and perhaps some videos and recipes as well :) It's going to be a mix of everything from photography, designing the studio to what I'm cooking for dinner tonight!

Hope everyone has a great 2012! Take a look back at some of our favorite photos of 2011 :)

Can't wait to see these two next month!

Such a fun family!

One of those most fun weddings of all time! 

We took only TWO photos of us this whole year. It's our goal to take more!
