GOSH. My heart is bursting right now, honestly, I don’t even know where to begin with expressing how thankful I am for this year. It was a year that taught me so much, and I am so appreciative of all the people I’ve met, photographed, gone to conferences with, heard speak, been mentored by, the list goes on. The people that were brought into my life this year have completely changed my heart. 

This year has taught me that opening your heart to others, whether it’s your clients, your colleagues, your “competition”, etc. benefits everyone. It is so rewarding to serve and love selflessly and I LOVE that I get to spoil my wonderful clients. I have learned that community over competition wins. every. single. time. As business owners, it’s so easy to get caught up in the “me” game, but when I opened my heart to others, I found the best of friends through sharing my struggles, good times, stressful times, “I wanna give up” times, and more. 

I have been extremely blessed to work with dozens of INCREDIBLE clients this year. I mean, not only are these people absolutely gorgeous on the outside, (come on seriously look at this post!) but my clients have hearts of gold. I came home from every engagement session this year saying “wow, my clients really have a way of turning around a bad day!” (Not that I had a lot of bad days but you know what I mean!)

So here’s the 2015 recap of my absolute favorite moments of my 2015 engagement sessions! There has been so much joy and laughter this year, and it’s going to be seriously hard to top in 2016 but I can’t wait to see what growth and adventure the future holds! 

Thank you to all my beautiful couples who have light me into their lives this year to tell their amazing stories. I am beyond blessed to have you all be a part of MY story!

Enjoy all these beautiful couples and stay tuned for Best of 2015 Weddings soon!!
