11 Favorite Photos of 2011

I’m not extremely serious about my photography, but it’s always a good exercise to review the good & bad from the year when reflecting on my photography goals for this year.  I like selecting my favorites from the nearly 16,ooo pictures I took last year- not always the best technically, but either a perfect moment or a a sentimental time for me.

 Photo Favorites 2007Photo Favorites 2008, Photo Favorites 2010.

#1 – When I picture the perfect beach, this photo from our anniversary trip to Amgergris Caye, Belize in February come to mind

#2- One of the best things about having a waterproof P&S camera is capturing unbelievable shots like this one of Mia leaping

#3-  I attended several football games this year & love the challenge of getting good action shots like this one at a Cougar Football game

#4 – I was so excited to see my sister dancing on the field & loved how the posed lots of ways for me

#5- Not a technically great photo, but I adore how perfectly it captures me and My best friend Stephanie

#6- Favorite self-portrait taken with a time at Deception Pass surrounded by stunning scenery on my solo trek around the PacNorthwest

#7- Loved the bright blues and brilliant yellows in the Aspen tress in Breckenridge

#8 – One of the most beautiful sunsets with the brilliant orange reflection in sand at Tamarindo, Costa Rica

#9 – Totally random shot I grabbed Downtown Denver right after the marathon in October, but love the sun flare

#10 – It’s rare I’m dressed up, can get the girls to cooperate AND have somebody handy to take pictures with me and the girls.

#11- Final favorite is from our Helicopter Ride over the Grand Canyon from Above, I love the colors, the view & the extra special snow everywhere.
