Wow.

What an awesome, awesome year.

2013 was my first full year in business and I’ve got to say…it was amazing.

I met some fantastic clients, photographed some of the cutest kiddos in the Chicago-land area, discovered some amazing locations, bought lots of new gear (yessss!), shot my first wedding (holy cow!), refined my processes, learned and grew exponentially, became more confident in my abilities and work, and had a total BLAST doing it all!

Most importantly, I feel like I made some new friends in my clients and reconnected with some old friends who I hadn’t seen in some time. I had some repeat clients and am looking forward to continuing this journey with previous clients and watching as their families grow.

Thank you so very much to all my 2013 clients!!! You have made this year FANTASTIC for me. Truly fantastic. I don’t have the words to thank you for all your referrals, your kind words regarding your galleries and prints, and your happy faces when I deliver your products to you.

It’s been a great year, and I’m so excited to see what 2014 has in store!!

And a few of my favorites from my personal work this year.
