2009

I have been really excited to write a “year in review” blog post as it has definitely been a life-changing year for me. There’s so much to say but I most definitely need to express how extremely blessed I feel to have photographed each and every one of these couples. They have all impacted me in different ways and I am better because of them. This was my first year as a full-time wedding photographer and all of these couples will always have an extra special place in my heart. I also could not be anymore thankful to all of the photographers who photographed these weddings with me and the ones who asked me to come photograph weddings with them. It’s incredible to me that I was able to reach my goal of photographing 20 weddings in my very first year. This goes to show how incredible my clients truly are. Thank you for your referrals, your kindness and your loyalty. I appreciate it more than I could ever put it into words. It is really exciting to know that some of my brides from this year will be bridesmaids in weddings I have booked for next year.
In 2009 I was given the gift to be able to have my dream job and I enjoyed every second of it. Even through all the challenges of starting up a business, I smiled and thanked God for this amazing blessing. As I am given the chance to continue on this journey I hope to be able to help others by sharing what I’ve learned. And on that note, I need to once again thank Jennifer Bowen for her willingness to share her knowledge, her referrals and for her friendship. I hope to be able to do this forever and continue to learn and grow each day. I look forward to all the couples I will meet and the love stories I will be given the honor to witness in 2010.
Happy New Year!

Next time I’m in the Valley, we should do lunch!
