Now that it's January, I wanted to take some time to recap some of my favorite pictures and moments of 2017. I was blessed with so many amazing clients this past year. And I am so excited for the year to come.
1. This was one of my favorite pictures that I took at a gorgeous Wedding in June. I was blessed to get to second shoot this wedding with a fellow photographer, Heather Gatormann (she is amazing). Now I'm not going to lie I was really nervous when we were going outside in anticipation of this picture. I have never had to take this picture before and I didn't want to miss this moment. I am so thrilled how it turned out and it is definitely one of my favorite pictures of 2017.
2. Getting to hang out with Miss Harper, was such a fun day. This beautiful little girl was such a pleasure to get to shoot. I mean just look at that face.
3. So I'm kind of obsessed with with this picture. This was from an awesome 80th birthday party that I was so happy that I got to be a part of. The theme of the party was A Night in Tuscany, and I'm no expert, but I think they nailed this one on the head. This picture reminds me of summer nights and candle lit dinners. I cannot wait until it gets warm again.
4. Oh my goodness, I just can't. That smile and the face of determination. One of the things that I have learned from taking pictures of kids, is that sometimes you have to wait. You have to let them trust you and then you have to shoot fast. This little guy was so fun.
5. I love getting messages from life long family friends to get to take their pictures. Note to self, always check out the park before the photo session though. This session was hard because there was no shade and it was really windy. But, as nervous as I was before they got there, I think this picture actually turned out pretty well. I love the colors.
6. I have always wanted a fun outside wedding dress photo in my portfolio. This one definitely made the cut. I was squatting down behind a cabin, having one of the bridesmaids holding a branch. Oh...what you will do for the perfect shot.
7. This family! They were troopers. They woke up super early, but the fall colors were everything that I wanted and more. What a fun group to work with.
8. Can you tell I love kids? I'm kind of obsessed if you can't tell. Look at those cute little eyes.
9. This family was a blast. I'm so glad that the weather worked out for us this day because this shoot was definitely one of my favorites I did this year. Blue +Love +Family =Perfect!!
10. Happy 80th Birthday Clara! What a fun moment that I got to capture. I wanted to end on this picture because I love everything about it. The colors, the lighting, her facial expression. This is everything I could of hoped for, for this event. This picture seriously just makes me happy.
If you have any favorite pictures that I have taken this year of you or any of your friends. Please share them with me, I would love to see.
Talk to you soon
XOXO
