I sat here forever trying to come up with the content for this post — or rather I should say, narrowing down the content for this post. I have way too many favorites. We are way too lucky as photographers to get to photograph the amazing people, emotions and places that we do.

I would have sat here for much much longer just trying to establish the definitive McLellan Style Best of 2012 image set and let’s face it: I would have gone gray before that post got written. Sooo, I looked at my giant favorites folder and selected some of my favorites at random. This will therefore not be known as the Best of 2012 list, but instead the Some of the Best of 2012 list. :)

Thank you all for an amazing 2012! We look forward to many more adventures with you in 2013!

Around here, we’re settling in for a great holiday with these two monkeys. It’s our first year to have a kid who really gets the concept – our first year of belief in Santa and talking about Baby Jesus and discovering the wonder of decorating cookies with “glitter” as Seven calls it. I’m so excited for Christmas Day! :)

We hope your Christmas is also full of warm memories and lots of love!

Merry Christmas!

This family just gets better and better lookin’ every year and they keep adding new little beauties to it! :) I could wax on poetically further, but I think their adorableness speaks for itself.
