Back from Europe!

I truly wish every daughter could have their mom as their best friend too. It's such a special gift that I feel so blessed to have with my own mom.

We are back from our mother/daughter whirlwind trip around Europe. We visited some amazing places like London, Paris, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Italy. I have so many stories to tell and pictures to share but first, the most meaningful one to me. Since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of seeing the Eiffel Tower in person, and we finally made it! Here's mom and I on the top over looking Paris. (Um, right before I LEFT my camera on top of the Eiffel Tower.... talk about a freakout moment! More on that story in a few blog entries! DOH!)

Another fun moment was that I shot an amazing proposal in Venice, Italy for one of our tour group couples from Australia who got engaged there in the romantic city of gondolas! I can't wait to blog their engagement session and proposal soon.

In the meantime, to all who have emailed me the past few weeks, I'm working as fast as I can to respond to your hundreds of emails and inquiries, thank you for your patience while I get back to you and adjust back to East Coast time. The whole 6 hours ahead for 2 weeks thing kicked my butt! And I'll be trying to start posting some of the amazing photos of Europe in the meantime too!

But as amazing as Europe was, I do have to admit, there's no place like home and I'm so glad to be back in America! Visiting the other countries and cultures truly made me have a new appreciation for this great country we live in. :-)
