So, uh, yeah. 2009 was a wild and crazy year for me. Not only did I photograph more people (weddings, babies, you name it) than ever, but I also forged ahead with a company name change and helped design my new blog!
2009 was a great learning experience about boundaries, limits, and staying consistently creative even if I have to push myself. I know what I am capable of...and I know now to not push it past that point. I don't ever want to burn out, because this job allows me to channel so much of my energy into good for others. I get giddy when I think of how many moments I am able to capture for others and how that is going to make their legacy richer and more vibrantly full of memories.
I have so many favorites from this past year, so it was hard to even narrow it down to 300. But I managed to do it somehow. Click on the image below, and please be patient as it loads. Turn up your speakers and find yourself in 2009...I know I did.
