Toast to the New Year

Time has flown.  I can’t believe we are about to welcome in another new year.  I enjoy the change as I use this time to reflect on where I am in my business and in my personal life, and where I want to be.  Next year will be about finding balance- about figuring out how to grow my business but continue to build and strengthen the relationships in my personal life.  It is about personal projects.  About making time to try new things.  I have a few goals in mind for 2012 and as I tackle each of them, I will be sure to report back with the results.  And 2012 is about the realization that each day is a gift and to always live with that philosophy in mind.

Even though we set up this shoot in November, I think it’s the perfect compliment for the new year– Jessica with A Vintage Affair Rentals, and Jessica with Pink Champagne Events incorporated lots of BUBBLY in this shoot, making it ideal for toasting 2011 and kicking off 2012.  The concept for the shoot originally came from Natosha Cooke- she brought in all the other vendors and below is the result of the collaboration.

Be sure to check out Couture Colorado today for more images from the shoot, Elevation Events for a behind-the-scenes video, and the complete list of vendors at the bottom of this post.
