THE JOURNAL

Top 16 of 2016

As I am wrapping up the year, I am starting some of the most anticipated blog posts! The end of year highlights! Every year I take time to reflect on the sessions and weddings we have captured and compile a series of post highlighting our favorites. As if that isn’t a big enough labor of love, I also push to find my very favorite top images to share as well! It isn’t an easy task! This year I am sharing my top 16 favorites of 2016. It took me HOURS to narrow it down. I had such an amazing year full of awesome clients, stunning locations, and fabulous details! So much of my heart is invested in everything I photograph! Each one feels like my own child. Most of the images I will be sharing here today hold a lot of personal or sentimental value- perhaps a location I have had on my bucket list or a session that made my heart swell with pride. Each one is something that I completely adore!

If your photos aren’t in this post, don’t get discouraged! I will be sharing a series of ‘best of’ posts in the coming blogs that include highlights from the entire year! 🙂 So stay tuned for those!

For now, I give you my favorite 16 images from this year…
