2014 has been a wonderful, wonderful year! I hope you all have such a wonderful Christmas! I can’t wait for New Years’ and I’m excited for a New Year’s post coming your way soon, but before that wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes!
So it turns out it’s often hard for me to look natural behind a camera. I look at these photos and think, “Oh Christa…” But haven’t we all had those photos?! Yes? Maybe?? Ok well I often have them 😉 Enjoy these sneaks of what happens behind the camera!
