HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
This year has been fabulous in so many ways both professionally and personally. This was the most successful year for Pechan Photography with 27 weddings and several events (which was impressive during a high risk pregnancy). I was able to meet so many wonderful couples who were surrounded with wonderful family and friends!
Personally, we were blessed not only to have our fabulous 2 year old daughter but we were also blessed with the addition of our handsome little boy Joshua.
As 2006 comes to a close many ask...what are your plans for 2007??? Pechan Photography will be reducing the number of weddings each month to two weddings (Several months are already booked!). This will allow me to focus on my clients and provide them with a quality product! So many photographers attempt to get as much business as possible...the problem is that some of their work starts to look like they are using a cookie cutter instead of a camera. I want to get back to the creative side of photography. Not to mention, I am not a photographer to support myself or my family. Mainly I charge for the work I do to support my habit as a photographer. As many of you know, it can be a very large investment. I hope during 2007 to gain additional experience in the portrait arena. As I do not own studio lights, I will be making an investment this year of some sort (time and money) in studio lights.
As far as what 2007 will bring for me personally? More time with my beautiful family!! Family is the most important thing on this earth to me. I am so incredibly blessed to have our family and a husband that allows me to stay home during the day and raise our little ones. This year will be a challenge with the new addition, but I am ready and more than willing.
My last blog of the year wouldn't be complete with out a few photographs. Usually I would choose my favorite work photo, but I have posted my favorites each time I blog. So just look over the year or the photos for those ones. Instead, I thought I would include my favorite nonwork shots of 2006....enjoy!!

I know what you mean! I allowed myself to get crazy busy over the past few months. I miss the creativity! I am no longer taking weddings...which is a huge relief! I just don't have time for them. Your images are great!
Happy New Year to you and your family. Those were beautiful photos. I really love the one of all your feet in the sand. Congrats on your success and I wish you more success professionally and personally. -Jen
