The Best of 2011

As I look back at 2011, at all those months and days lost in the realm of the past, I realize just how much I've grown in my photography this year. I've gone from simply taking 'snapshots' to really thinking about angles, and exposure, and all those other things we all stop to consider before shooting. And so, in honour of the dawn of 2011, as well as my photography growth, I have decided to share with you my favourite photos of this past year! So sit back, relax, and listen to this as you scroll down...

It's Safe by Westlife (I haven't listened to any of their other songs... yet, so I can't recommend them). My sister got Dolphin Tale for Christmas and this song has been stuck inside my head ever since I saw it. The movie is amazing by the way, you should definitely see it... if you haven't already!
