2015 was a fantastic year. I met several new clients and friends, enjoyed trips to California, Brazil, Duluth and Colorado, and Summer was fun and hot, as it should be. I really can't complain. Check out some of my favorite highlights!

And to close it with a bang, I got the chance to photograph a beautiful and fun wedding (congrats to Patrick & Halee Singleton!) on Dec 30th, which was full of sunshine and sparkling snow.

For 2016, I wish more of the same, with less trips to the E.R, and double the number of awesome and encouraging people that I have encountered, both professionally and personally. You guys are the best! 

This is the last picture of the year: mine and Chris' typical NYE selfie, taken at his parents, before I ate a rack of ribs and ruined my pretty makeup. :)

Welcome 2016!

I hope you had a fun-filled year as well, and I look forward to another 365 days of photos, trips and friends! Cheers!
