It was a wonderful 2013 and such a pleasure to be invited into your lives to capture your nearest and dearest - it really is an honor I will always be humbled by. I can't think of a better way to have closed out this year than by spending the afternoon with this beautiful family. I have been photographing this family for 3 years and have watched them grow in size and in love. Thank you so much yet again! Happy 2014 to each and every one of you, I am so excited for what this year will bring!
Last month, I started up a blog circle with some pretty terrific women photographers. The aim of the project was simple; one day a month capture a slice of your daily life and celebrate the beauty in the everyday. We called it "a day in the life". What I didn't realize at the time was that through this project I would also be making some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. 7 women from completely different backgrounds and parts of the country who, through our passion for photographic storytelling, have found common ground and formed wonderful friendships. That's what I've come to love most about this project. In case you missed last month's inaugural post, you can check it out here. Be sure to follow along the circle at the end of the post to check out what my friend Erin McGregor has been up to this month. She is an incredible photographer (and happens to live in a winter wonderland)! You won't be disappointed! This month I captured a somewhat ordinary day spent at the grocery store and picking out our second (yes, second) tree at the Christmas tree farm. Don't ask, long story... Somewhere between the grocery store and my one year old's epic meltdown I began to lose hope that my captures would be anything but ordinary. And then, for a few brief minutes, the sun peeked out and I was able to quickly snap some of my favorite images yet. So there you have it, a day in the life...
Please follow the circle around and check out what Erin McGregor's day in the life looks like here. Be sure to also check her out on Facebook, tell her I sent you! :)
It's been an incredible year photographing new clients and old - to each and every one of you, thank you so very much for inviting me in to capture your story. You make living out my dream every day possible and for that I am so incredibly grateful. Here's a selection of some of my favorite client images of 2013- keep your eyes peeled for part 2 featuring my personal favorites! Wishing you all a holiday season filled with peace and joy from my family to yours.
It has been an extremely busy client season for holiday photos! In the midst of all that rush, I tried to slow down and capture some of my own family. Those of you who know me, know that I am one of six kids and come from a very loud, energetic and lively family. I decided to head out one afternoon with the youngest two for some holiday photos. It was freezing and windy, but the glitter provided for a welcome distraction. Who knew you could have so much fun with glitter?! Despite the cold, it was worth it, and I am so glad I took the hour to snap these :)
What a sweet family this is, I was thrilled to share the afternoon with Bryn, John and their sweet baby boy, Jack. John was such a good sport and so excited to be home after having returned from his deployment the day before.I think it's fitting that this threesome chose to have their shoot in their home and out and about their neighborhood. Thanks so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful family.
