Wow, so, that once-futuristic-sounding-year TWO-THOUSAND-TEN is officially here and it’s already moving forward at full force.
Happy New Years Everyone!
So I’m looking backwards for this post and wanted to thank some people for an amazing year! I can’t believe how fast time flies. These first two years of starting full-time in this little photography business feel like a fantastically magical whirlwind. I’ve learned so much and yet have so much more to learn. It can be dizzying sometimes!
I had a ton of fun this year photographing the best couples ever! Some have become close friends that I hang out with often – others have become long distance friends and still more have come back to do anniversary shoots and maternity shoots (yay!)
It’s hard to not feel extremely grateful and extremely lucky for all the good that’s happened last year. I got to start my dream-path to destination weddings by shooting in California, New Orleans and New York City. My images were Admired by Beckstead, featured on Rock and Roll Bride, Wedding Chicks, Little Black Book Blog, TrashtheDress.com and many other fantastic blogs. I just learned I was placed in a special spot of Ruby Slippers ’5 photographers I want to be’ list (out of her ginormous list of 120 or so fab photographers! Thanks Kat!) And, lastly, I finally made it in to Style Me Pretty’s much coveted Little Black Book – as a ‘Premiere Destination Wedding Photographer‘ no less!
So it’s been amazing to say the least. And I couldn’t have done it without all the support of the amazing people in my life. Thanks are definitely in order! I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that’s supported me along this journey of photographing people in love: my wonderful couples, fantastic photographer friends, family and love of my life – jayse! Thanks for all the love and support and for helping me get to the point I’m at now in my business. Because of you I’m able to do what I love everyday.
This new year brings new goals, new dreams, new challenges. And though it can all pile up and be a little scary at times.. I say, BRING IT ON!
I’m SO excited for all that 2010 has in store! Happy new year everyone! It’s going to be a fantastic year.
