Wishing You A Happy New Year!

Celebration

I started doing an "end of the year post" and then I stopped before I reached the end. When I started reading my archives for the year 2011 gone by, it became clear to me that it would be impossible to make it short and sweet. It’s been an incredible year. Truly. I had a blast.

Growth, work, joy, friendships, losses and pain. I don’t do resolutions, I set goals. And when I look back on the year gone by, it’s exceeded some of my deepest inner desires.

I traveled every month. I met new people every month. I wrote a book. I photographed amazing cookbooks and worked with some pretty darn awesome clients both editorial and commercial. I formed long lasting friendships. I’ve learned every time I taught a photo workshop. I laughed. I hurt. I loved.

Thank you for being part of the journey that was 2011!

Happy New Year 2012 to you!

May it bring you everything you desire and work for. May it fulfill you and your loved ones.

Cheers!

Celebration

Happy New Year!
I think you can add one thing to your list of accomplishments for 2011: you inspired people. Your photo's and your book make me try harder every time I pick up my camera. Thank you!

Helène, thank you! The very best wishes to you for the new year. I have yet to cook one of your recipes but I have bookmarked many of them for future reference 🙂 your blog is beautiful and inspiring for the budding cook and artist in me, and I will keep looking at it for new ideas, and your positive thinking. Keep it up! L.

Helene I wish you and your family a wonderful 2012. You have enriched and inspired my life this year through your amazing blog, photography and your book. Food photography is new to me this last year, and I have learnt so much from you – I only wish you weren't all the way over in America so I could come to one of your classes! Thank you for the gift of inspiration you give me.
Thank you
from Jill, in Western Australia.

Hope to follow your beautiful stories and recipes another year. Hope you exceed all the goals you set.
I have to say, I love your book, because I think that is how you would talk and converse with a friend and show your tips as well. I dont know you but I feel like I know somewhat 🙂 If that makes sense.

Happy 2012.
