2012 Wrap Up / 2013 Resolution

This time last week, I was going through my personal photos from 2012 and reflected on what an amazing year it’s been for me. Then I wrote a message to my 2012 clients and thanked them for their support, and while doing that, I realized all of the beautiful parts of life I got to witness through this business. Here’s part of what I wrote:

This year, I witnessed couples pledge their wedding vows, young adults graduating high school and college, and families cherishing their newborn additions. I celebrated engagements, pregnancies, first birthdays and anniversaries. I photographed families for the second and third years in a row and got to see how babies have become big kids and how beautiful it is to remember those changes. I captured smiles and laughs and tears, and from behind my camera, I smiled and laughed and cried tears of joy with you.”

I am SO fortunate. And I thank all of you who keep up with me, refer me to your friends, book with me and cheer me on. While this year was a whirlwind (I graduated college with my BA in Journalism, moved from an internship to a full time position at an amazing company, took a trip to northern California and continued to slowly but surely grow this business), it was full of beautiful gifts. 

At the halfway point of 2012, I decided I would try to blog at least once a week but was unsuccessful. Because of this, I only put up maybe one or two previews for each photo session on my Facebook page and didn’t even get to write full blog posts for them! So, I picked my favorites and piled them all on to this post! Yay! Haha… It took forever so I hope at least a handful of people see it. And because it took me until 9 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2012 to get to it, my resolution for 2013 is to blog more. So we’ll see how that goes. 

I hope this year was great for you, but if it wasn’t, tomorrow’s a brand new start. Enjoy the evening with your family and friends and be safe!
