My Favorite Photographs of 2016!

Wow! I cannot believe it is already time to do my 2016 recap of my favorite images! The year just flew by. My mom says that’s a bi-product of getting older, but I attribute it also to being immersed in the thing I love doing most: taking pictures. As some of you may know, I took the leap to a full time photography business in July. It has been a crazy 6 months learning how to work for myself, but I don’t regret it one bit. I am so very, very blessed that so many of you have put your trust in me to capture some of the most important and memorable moments of your lives, from proposals, to weddings, to newborns, to growing families. There were honestly so many images that I just love it was hard to narrow it down, so here is just a snippet of images of you beautiful people. Thank you again! Here is to some big changes in 2017 and even more life, laughter and love.
