This is the holiday when you are thankful for what happens in your life. While you don’t need a holiday to do that, it’s a good time to reflect back on the year that is almost over.

Since I am a father, obviously the number one thing that I’m thankful for is my 2 little boys; that they are healthy, smart and good looking (just like their mother). You cannot express in words how a parent feels: if you are a parent, you know; if not, wait until you become one, your life will change forever (in a good way).

I am thankful that I get to do what I love for a living: photographing.

I am thankful for meeting a lot of great people this year. I met many new great partners (videographers, event decorators, event planners, florists, DJs, you name it). Many of them have become good friends and I look forward to working with them again in the future or just hang out for a coffee/beer/…

I am thankful for all the great people that trusted me to capture their important moments on “film”. I am very honored and humble for allowing me to be part of your family history. Without you, Jean Valentin Photography would not exist. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving!
