So just to recap – this was how I started 2012 . . .
I crashed. I broke my leg and got some new titanium parts. I learned to limp and then to walk. I was surrounded with love. I got home, did a lot of rehab, took a deep breath and got back to work.
Now 2013 is busting on the scene and with it some pretty amazing news. One of my favorite families: Lexie Hallman and her daughter Mira (whom I have been taking pictures of since her newborn portraits) have had one of their portraits hand-picked by Rolling Stone as a finalist in the My Family Still Rocks contest. Out of more than 20,000 entries this image from their December session and her story were selected as one of 12 finalists.

You can join me in cheering for Lexie and Mira by voting for their picture and story through Rolling Stone website. Voting is open through January 17th.
