A little history: The idea for this book came in December of 2008. I worked as diligently as I could, with 3 kids, up until May of this year; taking pictures in places ranging from Denver to San Diego and the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Weeding through thousands of photos, I worked on the best of them creating 45 pieces of art that would make up the soul of the book. In May I began compiling (and recompiling) the book, writing the heart, designing the cover... In July we submitted to a publisher and in October we became our own!
It turned out to be a beautiful book, thanks to all those who helped, and I have been so excited to share it! We gave away 5 copies the first day we got it and sold 6. I'd say that's a pretty good start! I feel relieved to have it done, almost the way you feel after a long labor; but when you create something beautiful to add to this world you can't help but feel joy!
