Best of 2012

This holiday season marks the end of my first year as a full-time wedding and portrait photographer. It’s been quite the ride, full of travel, adventure and new friendships. I can’t thank my friends, family and clients enough for believing in me. For making my business a success story. For allowing me to live the life that I want to live, and make the photos that I want to make.

To know that you all support my vision and want to share the way I see the world, well, it’s been the biggest encouragement to keep going, even when I fail to believe in myself.

I’d like to say this whole journey has been a dream come true, but I honestly never even imagined I’d get to a place like this. The idea seemed so far-fetched that I didn’t consider it as a possibility until a year-and-a-half ago. It’s been amazing to watch the year all unravel with all its twists and turns.

And yet, still I’ve witnessed new beginnings — projects and ideas and collaborations that won’t fully unfold until next year, when I’m back here writing this post again for 2013.

But enough about that. That’s a year that hasn’t even happened yet. These next few posts are for 2012, the year that I realized I can do this, and the people that helped me do it.

The love I got to soak up, and the stories I got to tell.

The photos that we made. Together.

Thank you.

Huge and endless thanks to all the wonderful second-shooters I worked with this year. May we get the chance to re-live our memories, and make new ones, come next year.
