I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around the end to another season, (I swear it was January…then I blinked) it truly has been an amazing year. I am so grateful to God I get to do this thing I love, oh so much. I can’t even begin to tell ya!

I get all gushy just thinking about my family and friends who cheered me on at age 15 (#babybossladies), while I was just getting started and photographing my first solo wedding. Ah!! Most days it feels surreal looking back on how far I’ve come. I can’t properly express all the thanks that are due, but I owe your love, my clients trust and God’s sovereignty that has been consistent throughout this journey and every step of the way, a big shout out! consider this a virtual HUG to each of you. You’ve made this dream possible and the hard, hard work worth it!

Some of you have been following my work since the very start, and some of you are a little newer around here. 🙂 Either way, you are so so valued. I am grateful for each and everyone of you, and think of you as dear friends! I couldn’t do it without ya! I started this tradition last year, sharing a recap blog post of the year in photos because I think it so valuable to reflect on all the ups, downs and sweet opportunities the year has held in between.  I am so thankful for each any every opportunity the Lord has given me to serve and fall in deeper in love with the journey, one sweet client at a time. Each of them being a reminder of HIS faithfulness. It has been a crazy ride and I’m all grins just thinking about it. Here’s to 2017 and the adventures it holds!

if you look closely, you can catch my secret shooting approach: feet off the ground..Someone should have told me blurry portraits weren’t trending in 2016
