2009 – Reflections

I know I’m a bit late in this review, but better late than never, right? It’s been busy I guess, and that’s a good thing.

Speaking of busy, 2009 was crazy. Too crazy. And while it was Ruby joon’s premiere year, and starting a business is crazy-making for sure, it is my vow this year to get a better sense of balance – of mixing life with business to a point where I’m not spending so much time in front of the computer, but getting out and doing more of the things I love. Hiking, visiting with friends, going on weekend retreats, spending time with family, exploring the island, taking classes (rowing!) and spending more time in the garden, which was sorely neglected last year.

2009 brought beginnings and endings, sad surprises and lovely surprises. Reconnections and disconnections. Kind of sounds like life, huh? I believe that part of our paths are set out for us. We have such a say in how we handle that rollout, though. In our attitudes and our actions. And it can be a challenge at times. But we learn, and we move on and that is what life is all about. These are the things I think about when reflecting on time passed.

To recap 2009 in photos brings you all sorts – while Michelle and I did commercial work at the beginning, I have decided that commercial work stays with my own name over at www.rwellmanphotography.com. Ruby joon will concentrate on weddings, couples and specialty fashion portraiture. Family stuff can also be found at www.rwellmanphotography.com/blog.

So, enjoy! This is a conglomeration of wedding and engagement photography. In random order; just some of my favorites.

Be sure to stick around …. lots of stuff happening in 2010, too!
