2011 | A Year In Review

One of the things I plan to do better at in 2012 is blogging. I didn't do many of the events/portraits I shot this year justice on this blog - as in, many of them just haven't shown up here at ALL. I've always had intentions to get them here, and it just hasn't happened. So, I figured the least I could do is show a few favorites from this year, and try to mentally prepare myself (and my blog) to be thrust into a brand new year in just a little over a day. My goal in January is to show you all of the weddings and shoots that didn't make it here over this year. So, consider this post just a taste of what will be fully coming next month, WHILE recapping what took place in 2011. :)

I was so privileged to shoot some amazing weddings this year. So a BIG shout-out and heartfelt thank-you goes to my incredible brides & grooms:

So, as you can see....it's been an AMAZING year. I've done some of my favorite work ever this year, and it was incredibly hard to try to just sum it up in one post. So, honestly, that's not really what I'm trying to do. Mostly, I just want to express my gratitude for you wonderful people that have let me into your lives - into your special days and moments - and allowed me to capture them for you. It's been a tremendous joy and privilege, and I look forward with MUCH anticipation to what 2012 holds for me personally and professionally.

I'll be focusing on goals for 2012 in January, as there just isn't enough time left in this year to post everything I want to! Hah. But, Aaron and I have been spending some amazing quality time with family, and I wouldn't trade that in for anything. :)

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL New Year! I'm so grateful for all of you, and your encouragement and support. I look forward to continuing this journey in 2012, with you all by my side. :)
